confused-think i need to start over

[devoncm]

Ok ive not been doing too badly when it comes to recording what ive brought for childminding and the income side, but when i was filling out the bit on gas elec water rent etc i got confused, OH said to put in what we pay each month but now after reading some of the topics on her (which made me none the wiser)im thinking i should have used percentage of it and put that instead?
Please can someone let me know the right way, thank you in advance guys.

This explains it... it's percentages depending on how much you work - not based on what you earn, but the hours you do ... :D

I'm term time only at the moment and my hours vary weekly as I mind fora teacer currently doing supply work - should I just average out my hours at te end of the month and divide it by 4 to get an average weely income/hours worked?

Not always 4 weeks in a month! Beware! :panic:
