Bring It On

This could be intrusive.
People will be able to see how I waste money, how I budget (or rather don't budget) also a terribly obvious insight to my eating and spending habits.
It's needed. I really want to develop better habits and laying it all out like this teaches me, take us through the process, the experiment.

I'm sure if people are actually interested in this that they will develop opinions about it. And I'm happy to read them. Doesn't mean I'll act upon them, but I'll still want to hear them.
BRING IT ON

Here we go...

So... I got paid today.
Here we go with my budget... Proper.

I've decided it's going to be budget A this month. That's up to £40 per week budget/£40 per month Necessities/£60per month slush fund.

This is how it breaks down so far. I have decided to be detailed down to the last penny when I can, and to just run the total when I can't recall it all or if I miss a day or two.
I am using a calculator, but I still might make errors with the maths. Please feel free to point out any errors. It might annoy me but I need to be accurate.
