Software for budgeting money - Windows & Android?

Hi there,
I'm looking for some software which will allow me to put in what I spend as I spend it mainly to keep track of how much I'm spending as I seem to forget my bank account isnt a bottomless pit!

It would be great if I could run it at home on Windows and also have an app on my android phone for putting in stuff while I'm out ans about then sync it when I get home.

Is there anything like this available?
I work, I pay debts, I work some more and then pay more debts...give me a break! :money:

    On Android I use Daily Expense Manager. Pretty basic but if you're just adding daily spends in to the mix then it's great for keeping a track

    I use Microsoft money 2005. Microsoft don't sell this anymore but I am sure you can get a copy off eBay or somewhere similar.

    I just then keep all my receipts for anything else and enter it all in when I get home that way by updating my 'money' every night I keep track of it from day to day.

    It doesn't take long each day and then I don't need an app for 'spends'.

    This is windows based software and I can keep track of all my accounts on it.

    I've always used MS Money on my PC, and Easymoney on my android phone, but am installing financisto to try after reading the above post.

    I have an excel sheet with a simple budget one one tab and a spending diary on the other. PM me if you want it.
