Help me work our where my money went

I have a great job with commission most months so I have just run with my basic wage. 
My commission usually £1000 at least a month so what I want to do is save that. 
When I look back over last year I earned £12700 commission plus whatever was usually left from my wage but still only have half the savings. 
Don’t get me wrong I got married last year and we had a honeymoon to America so I spent £1500 on that as my art then we had a few abroad trips so the outset probably was spent on holidays. 
My husband doesn’t get such a good wage as me after my commission do a lot of times I’ll just pay for dinner out or something. I really wish I kept a note. 
What id love to do is I’ve budgeted this year with £300 a month so I don’t have to go into savings or commission
all my debt I have budgeted will be paid for within the 0% term
i can’t overpay the loan and have only just taken out the car finance so the only thing I want to try s add bd get rid of just now would be the barclaycard. Any extra advice appreciated 
I’m going to keep track of everything this year
