Overdue March Expenses

In March, I slightly went over my budget for normal expenses and the total sum, I spent quite a bit cos of driving.

Following previous budget of $20-25 per day for 30 days, budget for normal expenses is $600 to $750.

For normal expenses, the final figure I arrived at is $888.80. Exceeded by $138.80. Reasons were cos of extra spent
1) Sand spa $100 for facial and body sand
2) Watch $23.90
3) Cardigan $40
4) Sunglasses $20
5) Hair cut $28.80
6) 3 mths supply of glucasamine
7) new photo for resume $15
8) extra cab rides $27

So its a case of quite a fair bit of expenditure outside normal spending on food, transport, phone bills. But quite a bit are work-related and full-time work is starting, so I will monitor these work-related expenditure.

Add in guitar $120 and driving $1090 cos I topped up and booked enough driving slots to last from end April to End July plus 1 driving test. So its all in at a shot.

Total amount spent is $2088.80 Very pain. Big dip into reserves but consolation is that work is starting and a fixed and more reliable income is coming in from April onwards.
