    How do I start to learn then, should I look for a course or just start playing around?

    Wow, I've been really bored today - two lots of washing and I'm even thinking about doing the washing up! I'm going to play with my new eyeshadow to eyeliner toy instead though.

    Start by playing around and looking for little tutorials on t'interweb (Microsoft have some). Once you get the basic principles of formulae, then most spreadsheets are pretty easy to do. It's only when you want to be fancy with either debugging/macros/VBScript do you need a course/books.

    Hello :wave:

    I was marshalling the Bradford Epilepsy 10k race this morning, had to be in town for 7.30am :eek:

    Great race though, the fastest guys did it in about 29 minutes, I know I'll never be that fast at a 5k distance!

    What I couldn't understand was that the race started at 9am - fair enough!

    8.40am warm up in Centenery Square - fair enough

    but then at 8.50 some bright spark had planned the Lord Mayor's 10 minute address! !!!!!!???
    So get everybody nice and warmed up and then bore them to death for 10 minutes before the gun :rotfl:

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
