    Reconciled those bank statements :o Not good. I missed transactions out, I know I made them, I just forgot to put them in Money :mad: Going to do my best now to make sure my account at least is up-to-date with my online accounts. Here's hoping they're okay *fingers Crossed*

  • Sorry to jump in on this thread, but I'm being nosey - what's this FlyLady challenge about? Had a quick look at the website but there's so much on there (am sneaking my moneysaving at work while no one's looking and can't spend too much time looking at stuff :rolleyes: ) - can anyone enlighten me with the version for time-poor idiots (ie ME!)
