    Warning - Raid, Raid, Raid. GG is engulfed in some kind of book "50 something" she said "and nothing to do with [her] age". Apparently it could be my lucky night so I am waiting to hear the €€€€€€millions result :)

    Option 1: It goes green every time it goes down to a different thousand bracket - so if it goes back up it stays the default colour, but when it comes back down again it goes green again for the same step. This is probably what you want if it has gone up at some point in the past or might do so again - for example if you have a flexible mortgage and can borrow back your OPs in an emergency.

    Option 2: It goes green only when it gets to a new thousand bracket that it has never got to before. This is probably what you want if interest added is the only reason it ever goes up.

    Once you let me know which you'd like, it'll take me about 30 seconds to sort it for you. :)

    Well Lois - you can guess what GG said - "wants an option 3". Basically if it goes down it goes green (as it does - she showed me) but if it goes up it goes ragy red :mad: yea like that

    Soon there will be no more space in the house to store those onions..

    Her crafty way will be to make you wear a necklace of onions, a stripey shirt & beret, et voila on your bike Mr GG!!

    You have been warned! :rotfl:

    Perfect thank you :T. Will change round myself so it does the opposite for savings :D.

    Actually it's not perfect. Have you any idea how often interest takes the balance back into a higher thousand category :mad:. Not impressed!

    Hi GG

    Hope you are feeling better today. I've managed to catch the sniffles that have been doing the rounds of my friends & family over Xmas - so can sympathise

    I'm in awe of all the colour changing spreadsheet talk. I'm a very basic user of spreadsheets and wouldn't have the faintest idea how to do things like that. Well done :T

    It's really easy Bookworm. You just get your own diary then put out a plea for help :rotfl:.

    Took back an eyeliner pencil to Boots - too hard to use - and got a refund onto card so £6.50 OP on the way :T (I think that officially counts as an OP rather than a Tillytidy ;)).

    1st MS in 3 years done - eye test, excellent service. As suspected, prescription has changed a lot which won't have helped my headaches. Trying to pluck up courage to have a free contact lens trial :eek:.
