Thanks everyone. There is just so much to consider!

I worked on my spreadsheets all day today and I think I've come up with something that I can use for the expenses! I'm so proud of myself for figuring out all the formulas!

Now my own kids DO use the toys and crafts supplies while the daycare is closed. Do you calculate that? Would you say hours/per day/days of the week sort of thing?

What heading do you put cleaning supplies and toilet paper under? Would you put that with food and kitchen supplies?

Do you calculate the km's driven to get supplies? How is that calculated at the end? How much per km? % for your own use of the groceries/supplies?

Would you consider a steamer a "capital expense". I bought one specifically to clean the toys. I also bought a carpet shampooer but my playroom is also my living room. The bookshelf I bought is for the daycare but in my living room. I have been trying to read more into the capital expense information but there is just so much that seems left to interpretation.

My home is 1710 sq ft. It's two levels. The main floor is the living room/dining room/kitchen/front entrance/bathroom/laundry room. So on this level only the laundry room is not used for the kids. On the upper level there is 3 bedrooms/hallway/landing/bathroom/ensuite bathroom. SO I guess I would need to calculate the bathroom/ensuite/laundry room that are not used? Does that make sense?

Sorry for so many questions. I'm always intimidated by the government cause you always just feel like your doing something wrong even when you are not LOL! I know silly

I still need to work on my income spreadsheet... but at least the expense part is almost done!

Thanks again ladies!
