Our eating out expenditure went up tremendously because of meet ups and gatherings for the Christmas season. One of hubby's school mate is actually moving his whole family down to Johor and this was the last few times to meet in KL.
Fuel expenditure also went up as we made a short trip to Ipoh as Hubby's uncle finally lost his battle with cancer. We went there to be with his Aunt and other family members. Hubby's car was also involved in a dreadful pile up and until today, is still being repaired. He also sends and picks me from work and Chapati to his grandparents everyday. I think he averages over 120 km everyday. Not including time in traffic...etc. coupled with work. Love you heaps dear and thank you for doing this! I am now about 38 weeks pregnant and he doesn't want me to drive in case something happens. I am on my last two weeks before baby#2 arrives.
I am still not very good at organising the categories and missed out some expenditures so it took quite a while to reconcile them. Here you go!
