So it's not just me.

I do the same with the mortgage spreadsheet. "If I pay £50 here, it knocks a whole 47 hours off my mortgage!"

I always look on the bright side: cheap entertainment.

NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! PLEASE NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mortgage spreadsheet is big enough, it will explode if I put hours in as well!!!!!! And I get little enough sleep as it is!!!!

I'm just as bad. I toddled down to the council offices with a single £2 coin to pay off my £3k debt. Got some very funny looks, especially I then spent a few minutes adjusting all the little debt lists I have in my organiser.

But I'll have the last laugh, you horrible old council payments hags!!! Hahahahahahahahahaa



hahaha
aha



hha.



I think I forgot my brain medicine today.

Ah well, I've got an offset, so it calculates the money in the offset up to the value of the mortgage, then when it equals the mortgage, it takes the excess out and puts it into a savings account (with a different rate of interest and taxable).

I was thinking of combining it with having an ISA (different rate of interest again, and max contribution in 1 year so the excess has to go into a "real" savings account :eek: ) but even absurd complexity has its limits.

Of course it's all probably moot as the BS will probably round all the figures like little demons, but only in their favor.

I've got a little notebook in my handbag now, got it out in Tesco,updating my clubcard point total in there, plus my spend total, think the spotty oik behind the till was pressng his security alarm button on me!

I haven't got into spreadsheets just yet though, give me time..........

Hadn't thought about updating clubcards balance... didn't know I had to keep a running total.......

So, that would be:
tesco
sainsburys
boots
intercontinental (holiday inn express only unfortunately....)
hilton
quidco (not convinced my kelkoo's are showing up)
pigsback

Oooh, get miss fancypants

I've got a notebook which I used for about a week I will start again though. Oh yes. Spreadsheets on the other hand :drool:

Stabbed myself in the hand today, that was bright

Also convinced boss to give one of the guys who works 'for' me (very loosely) a bonus cos he's been great lately. Subliminally projecting 'so have I, give me one' all day too...

Bit of a spendy day today... pre-ordered Razorlight's album (tho it was through pigsback so I'll get some points) and also agreed to go for a drink and to the cinema with a guy from work this weekend. So that's gonna cost me. But it's ok, it won't blow my budget. All I've spent from the last two weeks' £40 is 2x £8.50 bus fare and 1x £3 cab fare. So that's £20. £11 for Razorlight (fancy version ) makes £31. So I've got £9 for t'cinema and drinky. Although... by the time I go to the cinema it'll be next weeks budget meaning I can spend LOADS but I won't
