a category for 'I don't know' would be helpful

I've come across a couple of instances where something has been bought (4 months ago) and I'm not sure what it was. Some way to indicate that would be helpful, as i'm using entertainment as a catch all at the moment.
Hrm, yeah, I tend to use 'cash' as a catch-all as well, as usually you have no idea how you spend it unless you keep receipts. Is that acceptable? If not, what do you think of 'Miscellaneous' rather than "I don't know"? I'll have to investigate how adding a new category affects the rendering of the graphs.
Miscellaneous would be fine as a dumping ground for anything else though in both cases there is a possible "problem" adding new categories not used by moneysmart.
There are also issues with the graphing and adding new categories, though that would probably solved by switching to a web-based backend, away from the "generate raw matplotlib graphs as a backend" approach. There also has to be a concept of a backend, which there isn't currently.
My recommendation is to use Cash, as above.
