Here's the latest budget tracker @dt and anyone else who may be interested.
We've woefully oversailed the budget. But I do expect the outcome will still be nice and relatively inexpensive compared to other examples upthread (no offence intended; if I could I would!). My one piece of advice at this stage is for anyone considering tracking their budget: update it every time you spend something! That way, you won't make the mistake I did which was add a Very Expensive Thing to the project when you were already overspent.
(If anyone's wondering, I'm not a Project Manager or a Quantity Surveyor so if there's anything unusual about how I've recorded this, that's probably why).
only just seen this - thanks. Still planning mine, going to do it over the easter holidays if I'm allowed to ship the rest of the family away for the two weeks
