Day1: Spend

I spent half an hour trying to name this blog. I hate it when I get an idea. Especially if it's a pun-based one. I will spend hours drifting off saying, "bank, banker, credit, finance..."

Anyway's up, I opted for Financial Breakdown. It's not Edinblog but it's ok. It's not really for public consumption anyway.

In building this exercise, I want to make it clear that this isn't to show off. I earn pretty well especially for someone on the comedy circuit. I'm not ashamed of earning the money I do. If I ever feel ashamed, I just burn £100.

I only spent £10 today. It was to top-up my Oyster card at Waterloo Station. I had spent the afternoon having afternoon tea at the Delauney in town. Jon paid.

Now that I am co-habiting, it may be difficult to get an absolute picture of my life through spending. Jon and I share our costs. I would ask him to do this exercise too but, having been his bookkeeper for a time, I know that he is not as good (or as obsessive) as me at record keeping.

So day one spend is £10. On travel. I hope my life gets more exciting or this could be the most ridiculous spreadsheet I've ever done. And Ive done done ridiculous ones.
