Hi TigerLily

I don't know about a budget for London but with regards to what to include it really is up to you. I've had several ways of working my budgets for this challenge. I have at times included misc items, groceries, and petrol. Now I am back to just misc items although I budget elsewhere for petrol and groceries. My reason for this is that I need to buy food and petrol so I set a budget for that. Whereas in this budget I include one extras and bits and bobs I 'waste' money on.

So I guess with your travel it depends whether you are wasting money in this area or if you need to spend on it and only spend what you need to.

That's a good way of dividing it. I need a travel card to get to work and back, so any other journeys I make are included in that cost.

I think food is my downfall. I need to make lunch more often (though I don't spend a lot when I have lunch out), as I could definitely eat 'more' for my money.

Thanks for your reply!
