My challange maths don't add up

Penny2myName

ok, i have more left on my Uneccessary challange than I do on my monthly one.
Also I am not sure when to start my weeks from.
Do I do them Monday - Sunday or how the month began with a Tuesday- Monday (1-7, 8-14 etc) or from when I get paid which is normally Wednesday+Thursdays so a Wednesday-Tuesday week, but I did get my CB on the 1st so that was a tuesday. HELP ME FIGURE MY WEEKS OUT PLEASESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.:o

Uhhhhh..... sorry I'm useless with maths! I have to try and work out my own budgets about 5 times before they're right! lol!

think I may have an idea where the deficient is. In my new £2 savings tub (with superglued lid)

hi penny, this is one of the problems I find with the challenge too, I get paid on a friday on a 4,4,5 week rota. I do my main budget from one payday to the next. Luckily because this works out 'roughly' enough for the sunday to friday challenge (I normally don't take money out on payday anyway) it's not too bad.

i guess it's down to you to decide which way is best for you, if it's from payday to payday, or sunday to friday (if you can hold off taking money out till then) etc it's whatever works best for you.

sorry that wasn't much help was it???

Here is my maths.

£2.00 in saving tub
Leaving me with £3.69 till the 9th.
total £5.69

£5.23 remaining according to my Unnecessary challenge(does not take account of the £2 that just went into pot)
46p left extra till the 9th.

Also think since I got paid on the 1st this month, will do it 1st to 7th, which means changing my meal plans for weekly shops, as I have the start of next weeks already in now..lol.
