    Good luck shopping :D So do you cost your shop on a spreadsheet then. I have a spreadsheet for my spends, after I've spent them, but sounds like you have one for before??

    Haven't plucked up the courage to start a diary yet but may do that today as I'm on annual leave :D

    I love how you do just what I do, looking at spread sheets and moving this many £££'s here and putting this payment there to try and get things paid off quicker :rotfl: I spend ages looking at mine like somehow I'm suddenly going to see hundreds of pounds hiding somewhere!

    Hi DB

    I love my spreadsheet, I'd be lost without it. May have to tinker with it later as i've decided to shave of some more from my grocery budget :D

    Let me know if you start a diary and I'll come and give you some words of encouragement too. We're all in this together :)

    Want to post some debtbusting, just need this bloody payment to be reversed, or I'll have to wait til the 1st and I'm too impatient for that!!

    I think I got very drunk after his party :D. I only had 6 of them but I tried to do too much. I thought making pizzas would keep them entertained for at least half an hour. How wrong was I!!!!!!! 5 mins later they wanted to know what was next:eek:. This year I'm leaving the entertaining to the experts and hopefully leaving my sanity intact :rotfl:

  • Just had a row with NW on the phone. What a bunch of *****:mad:
    They can't guarantee that the money will be tranferred today. Then they tried to tell me that I requested it on the 24th!!!! I requested it about 5 minutes after I did it on the 17th :mad:

    If it's not in by 6pm I think I may explode :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Hi! :hello:

    Just caught up on your diary. Always happy to see another DFW with a love for spreadsheets :D

    Sounds like you're going great guns, it really does help getting things out of you mind and into a diary sometimes.

    Grrr to NW :mad: hope they come through for you today

  • :j Ace news, and well done on the over payments too!

    I've taken a leaf out of your book and plucked up the courage to do a diary, though I've found out I have a horrible tendency to waffle away about nothing. *DOH*
