    Does anyone have any budgeting spreadsheet templates?

    It seems a mammoth task to start from scratch....I dont know where to begin...

    I had one that another flylady was kind enough to send me....but I lost it when my laptop crashed and was wiped by Dell....Im very skint at the minute and want to get back on track. If anyone has anything helpful/suitable, could you pm me the details?

    Thanks

    Pigpen - I have wanted to, believe me, but DS gets upset if I suggest that he shouldnt go. When he is old enough, he will realise for himself what his Dad is, and I wont ever be blamed for keeping them apart. I also wouldnt give his father the satisfaction of being able to blame it all on me.

    Can i ask is anyone on here a foster carer? It is something that i am thinking about and wondered if anyone could offer me some advice or useful tips?

    Party was ok but I must be getting old because when i go to children's parties it just seems to be loads of kids that scream and seem to get hurt. Especially today!

    My two seems to be quite relaxed so that is good and all clothes are ready for school tomorrow. (this is a miracle! Well need to wash P.E. top but will do that when I do my next white wash :D) Hopefully can get them into bed early , have a nice bath then get stuck into some ore course work. Must be mad as I am thinking of doing an OU curse in September but not sure what to do.

    When XH came down last he phoned me the day before and I already had something planned! He has been down since but on a weekend when I was away with the children. He drove 3 hours to see his mum and discuss things and I believe he intentionally cam e down on a day when we were not here. i just can't understand the mentality of the man. I truly believed when we separated that he would have spent more time seeing his children than he has, even with stuff that is happening. All I know is that I love them dearly and when they mention Daddy. my poor soon mentions how he misses my sister and I have to tell him that it is alright to say that he misses his Daddy. it is so hard when he gets upset and KH makes me cross that he doesn't seem them as much as he should

    I've had a very nice afternoon with a very nice gentleman

    and the ONE person I KNOW who lived in the village (where we were sitting outside a pub in the sunshine) drove past and saw me, drove back the other way (about 15 minutes later), stopped and said hello so had to be introduced...
    and I wasn't far from AnWs ;)

    Good job I knew his name ;)

    Thanks Penthankyou.gif
