The maths last night was right, but I was wrong

I forgot to take out the £10 for the last April deposit, so I've only got £390 instead of £400 now  😕

There's an additional week in May too, so most of yesterdays sums were wrong anyway  👎

Let's try again shall we?

£390 currently in my account
£100 a week for shopping
£282 on the bills on 15th of every month
£10 a week into B every Friday
I get £230 every 2 weeks and £307 every 4 weeks.


So...

1st May - £100 for the groceries so £390-£100 is £290 yeah?
5th May - £10 into B which leaves me with £280
8th May - £230 for my first May pay day, so £280+£230 is £510
Take off the shopping - £510-£100 is £410
12th May - £10 into B leaves me with £400
15th May - direct debits come out, so £400-£282 is £118
Take off the shopping leaves me with £18... right so far?
19th May - £10 into B leaves me with £8
22nd May - £230 for my second fortnightly pay day take off £100 for the shopping leaves me with £138 yeah?
23rd May - £307 for my 4 weekly pay day so £138+£307 is £445 yeah?
26th May - £10 into B is £435 left in my account
2 9th May - £100 for the shopping leaves me with £335

Shall we do June as well?

2nd June - £10 into B leaves me with £325
5th June - £230 for my first fortnightly June pay day so £325+£230=£555 yeah?  Take off £100 for the shopping is £455
9th June - £10 into B leaves me with £445
12th June - £100 for the shopping is £345
15th June - direct debits come out means £345-£282=£63
16th June - £10 into B leaves £53
19th June - £230 for my second fortnightly payment, so £63+£230=£293 take £100 for the shopping is £193
20th June - £307 for my 4 weekly pay means £193+£307=£500
23rd June - £10 into B leaves me with £490
26th June - £100 for the shopping is £390
30th June - £10 into B leaves me with £380

Do July as well but that's it then  👌

 3rd July - £100 for the shopping is £280 plus £230 for my first fortnightly July pay day is £510
7th July - £10 into B is £500
10th July - £100 for shopping is £400
14th July - £10 into B is £390
15th July - £282 for the direct debits leaves me with £108 
17th July - £100 for the shopping leaves me with £8 plus £230 for my second fortnightly pay day is £238
18th July - £307 for my 4 weekly pay day plus the £238 is £545
21 July - £10 into B leaves me with £535
24th July - £100 for the shopping is £435
28th July - £10 into B leaves me with £425
31st July - £100 for shopping is £325 plus £230 for my third fortnightly pay day is £555

Seeing a pattern here?  lol

Basically the rest of April and all of May are going to be tough going, but after that, I'll slowly be able to build up a bit each month as well as being able to build up money in B too!

Have I got my maths right this time though?  lol
