Small Claims Court costs

[wiliferus]

I'll spare you the details as they're not relevant. But in short I'm due in county court in a few months as a defendant in a case I think I have 75% chance of winning.

I'm legally representing myself (again, long story, but that's where I'm at) and I've had a letter from the claimants solicitor informing me in the event they win they will be applying for costs.

I've spent days of my time building a case - in the event I win, is there anyway I can claim costs for my time? If so, how is it calculated?

Thanks in advance.
