  • Hi Ya'll,

    Yes Nats was stuck in London trying to get home with no buses or trains:rolleyes:
    But hey at least it was only a taxi ride then I got to build a snowman:p
    Lewbs glad you appreciated my singing, and making me realise I have not budgeted for my hairdo this month:eek:
    Now I got paid Friday and updated my spreadsheets but left all updated stuff at work, did not send it home:confused: so I'm going cold turkey here getting a bit twitchy and there is a bit of a dribble thing happening and it's just not pretty really.
    My signature looks better but I now have to update to add interest:mad: however I think I'll just update my sig with what the debt is at the end of the month and not with every single alteration.
    After two days snow bound I think I'll have to work tomorrow as most roads are passable... still I'll be reunited with my spready :happyhear

    I'm back in to work tomorrow too - I've had enough of children and the kitchen floor covered in wet clothes!!!! They've had great fun though and the fresh air has done them the world of good.

    I carry my spreadsheet around on a memory stick so I can gaze at it wherever I am and I love my online banking too nellis. The only problem is that I'm with barclays and have to use a system which means that I have to have a membership number, put my card into a little machine and then log on with a number off the machine. It's a bit long winded and I can't do it if I'm not at home. Probably a good thing as I'd be logging in about six times a day otherwise!! :o

    Hope you're journey to work is an easy one tomorrow OBNW.

    Hi OBNW!!!

    How did the pub quiz go?

    I just noticed your new signature - get you and your new DFD!!! I am well impressed and I hope you are happy with it?

    Sorry I've not been passing through as much - would like to blame it on the snow, but we must have had the least amount of anywhere in the UK this week!! (not fair, I wanted to build a snowman too!) :o

    Have a fabtastic weekend - catch you laters, Nats x

  • Hi,
    Good ness still soo long until payday:rolleyes:
    Oh well I am still in budget for this month so far but then I still have time to slip up:o
    I had quite a nice lazy weekend now have a fairly busy week.
    My youngest is playing meat in a school production of we will rock you and I have to see her every night:confused: and she will get nervous and stressy before each show:rolleyes: so lots of running around with that.
    I'll miss the pub quiz on Wednesday this week (we were 3rd last week) but I'll drag the team up to watch the show with me:p
    Lewby going to try your sausges in the slow cooker tomorrow.

  • I was merrilly doing my finances and worked out that when I have paid for everything I need I had a whole £4.72 left this month :rolleyes:
    Then I realised I had not accounted for the fact that my daughter has a hospital appointment in London next week and that needs money:confused: why can I never remember everything. I think maybe £30 should do it so maybe I can shave £15 off food bill for the next two weeks :p
    Oh well I am really going to try not to go over this month.

    Saw my daughters show yesterday she was great really enjoyed it, and looking forward to tonights performance.:T

  • :confused: what has happened why is this short month so long.
    The trouble with no spend days is that there is no playing with your spreadsheets involved!
    I'n bored waiting for debt payment days and pay day!!!!
    Goodness only another 30 months to go UUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

    But thats 30 months of playing with your numbers and making them toe-the-line!! :D
    You do need to keep checking them in between paydays - or the little blighters will start misbehaving again!;)
