    Hi Happy - my squares are not very technical I'm afraid.......

    I opened a new document in Word, and then inserted a table, using as many rows and columns as I needed to get the number of squares I wanted.

    As I say, it is not very technical, but it does the job and is working well as a motivator!!

  • yes but how do you work out how many squares you need, ie what amount do you put to each square :D

    That depends on how much you want to pay! My squares are £50 each, so I have divided the amount I want to pay off and save =(£100,000) by £50 to get the number of squares I want.

    Pandapaws has squares that have a "value" of £70 because that is the amount she has to pay each day to be debt free by her chosen date.

    So what your squares are worth, and how many you have, is really up to you!

    Must admit your posts and lists put me to shame and make me tired just reading them!.
    I find it hard to believe your house now that cluttereed and you had huge sort out this summer and took loads to charity.
    Just a thourght if you dont laready maybe a rota of household chores so kids and hubby can help out bit more and free up time for you.
    Maybe you need a cheap holiday?

    It's an annual dinner for the Chartered Institute of Taxation or something - dinner with a load of accountants on a jolly.........!!

    In other "freebie" news - I have been lucky enough to be given tickets for the football tomorrow for 4 of us - someone at work has a season ticket but can't go, so offered them to us! That means we get free football, and because of my mystery shop, free dinner afterwards! Not at all bad!! Maybe I can get away with a NSD!!
