    Hi TDD - I don't have a section for income on there but you can just type it into a cell? Perhaps then do a formula to subtract 'all expenses' cell from 'income' cell - for example:

    =A1-D1

    This means A1 would be your total Income and D1 would be your total expenses.

    If you explain what you need a bit more I will try to guide you through x

    Hi guys very sorry - seems to be a problem on the site - an MSE user had kindly loaded it for me on his site and maybe he doesn't have the site now.

    Anyone who would like it please PM me a message with your e-mail stating 'Money saving spreadsheet' and I can pop it over to you x

    EDIT > Link on page 1 is now active - see how you get on!

    I just wanted to say a HUGE thanks Eagerlearner. I just posted on the "tell the world thread but thought I'd pop on here and quote myself:
    I've taken over our household expenses from my fiance this month after downloading eagerlearners spreadsheet. We have for the first month in two years found ourselves in the black at this time of the month and I've added £40 to the sealed pot challenge in the last month. (money that would have gone to beer or snacks or such. We've started brewing our own wine for me and beer for DF. Whilst going through his account I found a direct debit for 8,99. On investigating I discovered it was insurance on a phone. Since we include our phones on contents, I called the company. Turns out it was for a phone that was sent to us in error in April 2008 (we upgraded and they sent us the wrong phone). They are processing a refund of approx £143.00. :j
