    Morning everyone

    Hoping for a NSD today, resisted buying a coffee on the way to work, really wanted one!

    Just a quick question, forgive me if it's a daft one. Do you have to include things you'd already budgeted for, like petrol for example. So if I budgeted £15 petrol for the week, but spent £20 because I'd been out gallivanting, I'd only own up to the extra £5 - Still with me??
    Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

    Piquant - the beauty about this thread is that you can include what you want - budgetted or unbudgetted. Simply state whether it is budgetted or not - for example 'spent £10 on meat (budgetted £12)' or 'spent £10 on haircut (only budgeted £6)'. It helps you to keep track of how things are going compared to 'budget'.
    Personally, I tend, mainly - but not always, to concentrate on 'unbudgeted spends' as mrs rog2 holds the purse strings and tends to look after the 'budgeted' shopping - and very well too, I hasten to add (in case she is 'lurking') :rolleyes:
    Hope that makes sense.

    Hi PaP - enjoy your 'day off'. I'm preparing for my interview tomorrow as I'm getting too many 'days off' at the moment. :rolleyes:

    NSD today :D Piquant, as Rog has explained, use this thread however you want. I tend to 'declare' everything, even the direct debits that are budgeted for. Hope everyone has a nice evening x
