I'm trying to graphically show how my spending patterns are in the UK. Granted, it's the beginning of term and I'm in a new country, so some of the amounts are higher than normal. I.e., I bought a new phone to work in this country so I don't expect to spend that much on phone fees in months to come. And I bought a whack of food and split a taxi with my flatmates so I wouldn't have to go shopping for food for awhile.
I am trying to come up with a budget and appropriate categories for my spending in the UK. They're going to be different categories than I'd have back home since I plan to travel, and won't have regular transportation patterns since I plan to walk as much as I can.
The categories include:
- Phone (basically my mobile phone costs on a pay as you go plan)
- Transportation
- Travelling (not sure how to separate this from transportation)
- Shoes and clothing
- Entertainment
- Gifts (people back home will kill me if I bring nothing back for them)
- Household
- Food
- Miscellaneous
- Eating Out
- Alcohol
- School (i.e., photocopying and printing costs)

Man, that's a lot of tracking you got going on there, good job! hopefully you'll figure it all out :)
btw, i absolutely LOVE the title of your blog! every time someone in my office walks in and start out w/ a "Dude?" i happily answer w/ the "where's my car". and sadly the joke gets wasted at times. old farts.
Hey, how's living in the UK working out for you? I miss reading your posts...
