    Hi there just downloaded the fab spreadsheet could anyone tell me how I could add my income to keep everything in the same place. It would have to be made very simply as not very good at puter jargon. :o
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks EL, I too downloaded the old one last week and customized it. Hopefully I can keep track of ( and be able to curb!) my spending.

    Thanks again.

    *Doh* sorry everyone - it's always the way isn't it :D I just hadn't had much time until now, should have been on 2nd or 3rd Jan, but at least it's available for anyone who needs it now...

  • One thing i have changed is on the spending sheet. Cash withdrawals are included in the total. I've removed it as im itemising everything so the spending is double counted in effect.

    I still note what i take out of cash machines though as it is very helpful to watch. I also added a cell above total for the week for a "cash held" might be a bit over kill for some people but thought i'd suggest it

  • I'm using the savings page to log all my cash back sites, just need to work out how to do it by month.

    The debt page is excellent, only complaint is that my signature debt amount is out by about a grand so I need to go up it now.

    Thanks very much for such a great spreadsheet.
