    HI Everyone

    I am really confused about my spreadsheet. I had been trying to squirrel away money to pay my CCs and earn a bit of interest but nothing seems to add up :confused:. I am going to have to start again and see if I can come up with a system that works properly!!!

    So, today I will:
    • bank cheque for £50
    • Pay cc bil of £2.10 interest GRRRRR
    • check the last 3 weeks of specialist job sections in newspapers at the library
    • join the virtual learning environment and download my reading for the next week
    • update my meal plan
    • borrow text books from the library
    • Flylady task
    • Email my best friend to let her know when I'll be free this week for a long catch up chat!
    • Ironing
    • Try and go for a walk or do something - I feel so unfit!
    Have a great day everyone
