Spending Summary September
Moneywise September not
good, actually I am very disappointed.
Keep
within food budget – Success;
we spent less on food shopping actually we had £134 left over. SonnyHen
complained we didn’t leave him enough money whilst we were away – WHAT!??! He’s
working and earning well no VERY well – he had to food shop for him and
GF; maybe he will now realise the cost of food.
Pay
extra on CC#1 –
spectacular Fail. Not a penny extra was paid on CC#1. Really hopeful we can recover in October.
House
maintenance – Fail again for second month running; I have given up
asking [DaddyHen says I’m nagging] so I will leave this one for a few months.
Keep
to holiday budget – Fail – over spent by £50.
After the refunds for the activities that were cancelled, the hotel we
had to spend an extra night in, due to the weather, was a little more expensive
than the hotel that got cancelled.
I work for a massive organisation and one of the
many things I do each month is MI (Management Information) reporting; the group
standard On Budget KPI is +/-10% ((spend-budget)/budget)), however, my
department works on a +/-5% On Budget KPI.
I try to adopt the same principle in the Hen household. This month we missed the KPI big time – A big
fail during September.
Now that we are back home there will be a very
tight control during October – unfortunately I’m not organised enough to
participate in Stoptober – we will be sticking to no more than £125 per on shopping
and trying to eat out of the freezer and cupboards as much as possible.
