Split purchases again

I missed the deadline an my original topic has closed.

Split purchases for home office use

New user, trying QF… I searched and see many questions about split payments. I have a few of these, my broadband (I have a home office) for example needs split between business and personal use. All the solutions I’ve seen seen a bit long winded or complex, some are a few years old. So what 's the latest easiest way to split a (say) £50 payment between business and drawings? My current online bookkeeping software does this simply and in it stride. But its costly! Thanks!

@ian_roberts solution was good, but I was thinking…

Rather than create a credit note for the personal use part of a purchase, could I invoice myself for the personal use and ‘pay’ that via my Drawings account?

In Ian’s solution I need to create a credit note for each purchase involving personal use. How about I save them all up until the end of the VAT quarter and issue a single invoice to me? I could create a recurring invoice with all the purchases - so there would be three lines for broadband, three for mobile etc etc. I think this would be less work, if it works?

Thanks!
