Alison2310 commits to:
I commit to:
(1) Keeping a close eye on my finances so that I keep my current account in the "black" and only using funds from other accounts, in an emergency situation, (2) I also commit to keeping wasteful, remorseful or frivolous spending to a minimum. (3) I also commit to ensuring I quote slightly more than I anticipate work to cost,. based on time management, and not allow others to take advantage of my good nature - when it comes to payment.

Really expensive month - my car had a service and an MOT, which it failed on emissions, so now I have to pay for a company to try to fix the issue. While I wasn't expecting that, I have "Rainy-Day" funds that I've been building up and that is something I would never have done before I started micro-managing my finances. Also, I am juggling with rises costs for my business, as everyone is, so I'm in the process of working out where I can cut some of my outgoings. Father's Day proved more expensive than I planned but, with our current family medical emergency situation, I've not had time to plan it, so I ended up having to rush to get something at the very last minute, so I went to Montague Jeffreys which is a high end gentleman's shop that I know my Dad likes, and spent a bit of a fortune. I managed this through my "Rainy Day" funds, so not an issue. I have also noticed that I budgeted a contingency amount for this month, so, actually, I'm well-organised. Good on me! My business tax is coming up next month, so I need to make sure I'm on top of that. Generally, though, my finances are pretty much under control. |

| All good so far this month. I do have some big expenses coming up but I've budgeted for these, and I'm hopeful that nothing will slip through the net . | |

Still keeping myself in control although I need to figure out a way to set an alert for expenses that are due, which I forget about - I have them written on my spreadsheet but they often appear for payment on different days, especially if they're DDs. Maybe an app, with a reminder would help. I'll investigate. |
