Welcome back Lois
I have also just posted in my own diary, last updated in April, so my signature is also out of date
I need to change this and post more regularly or people might start to think I'm a teacher :rotfl:Mortgage Aug 12 £165K, Aug 19 £0

You preferred a dating site to updating your spreadsheets :eek::eek::eek:.
Can whoever has stolen Lois send her back please, this imposter is totally unrealistic

Sounds like a pretty good day to me :T.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

What I like doing with spreadsheets is (a) updating them when there's only a day or two of info to add, and (b) thinking of snazzy new graphs and charts to add. Rescuing them from months of neglect when I haven't even got all my bank statements out of the massive pile of miscellaneous paperwork ... not so much.

Still got 3 days to go I hear you on the spreadsheets thing - I prefer to do it every other day when it's easy to update, not when there's lots to do...
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Oops! Have frittered the morning away without getting anything done. So, tasks for today:
1) Laundry mountain
2) Paperwork mountain
3) Kitchen chaos
4) Spreadsheets - well, begin on them at least
5) Write replies to the OD men
Thank you to Radish, gallygirl, teapot, Alchemilla & SF for posting. :wave:

Welcome back Lois.
Although not a teacher, I will be breaking up on Friday for two weeks and my list is very similar to yours - paperwork, spreadsheets, catching up...
Good to see you anyway - maybe you should break the tasks into bit-sized chunks - not so daunting then!
