    Haha I do this too, and I do all my budgetting using paper too and some pencils and oulored pens:o I have tried spreadsheets, but I just can't get the hang of them. Also I do like to do my budgets while curled up on the sofa, or in bed:D

    I am glad the school are finally listening to you regarding your daughter btw.

    Glam, and anyone else meeting tomorrow....- i'll see you at nandos, 11am :j

    I'll be there - DH probably won't be going in work so I'll get a lift there :D

    I'm so hungry, I made DH beef caserole for tea as I've been at my mums all day, and I stupidly never made myself anything (never seem to really) so I had beans on toast, yummy (NOT :mad:) and I have no pudding in so I ate some grapes. Woe is me :rotfl:
