A note on Day Zero Project on the goal: Create a budget and stick to it

PROGRESS UPDATE

A goal of Georgina H on their 101 Things in 1001 Days list with a status of In Progress.

4th Apr '12 - Moved all direct debits/standing orders to 1st of the month. £500 in bills will come out of D's wages and £225 in food, travel, pets and an allowance will come out of mine. We get paid weekly, so D's wages will stay in her account and not get touched and once I've bought everything I need to, I'll deposit the rest of mine. After each monthly bills come off, whatevers left can go to pay things off, save or for a treat. Or all three!

18th Jan '12 - Fell by the way side when we moved. I'm now gonna re do. Thank goodness rent is a lot cheaper

11th Sept '11 - Wrote down all our bills and the usual things we spend money on and took that out of our earnings. I've allocated us an allowance for each week so we don't dip into the money in our accounts so that the rest can be saved for building up our emergency fund

Once we start working to this budget, I'll start seeing what I can reduce from what we need to spend
