    Not Sad at all I_E.
    Obsessive? - Well maybe - but in a positive way. :beer:

    lol.. every little helps though! I think psychologically I prefer saving up all the money and paying them off in one go because then they can't slap stupid daily interest on the little bits and bobs I'm paying.. :mad: lol
    In my mind it makes sense anyway :rolleyes:

    not sad at all - it's lovely writing everything down and crossing out targets and goals as they're achieved. I'm completely obsessive about "the purple book" (my 2006 written record) - it's a real hobby of mine - that said, I quite like transferring some of the info onto excel and doing some graphs of various expenditure variables as well - looking at monthly expenditure over the past 12 months for food or travel costs and analysing why there are peaks and troughs - I find it such a moral booster when I've got an expenditure graph with a nice downward line and a savings graph with an upward one.
    It also gives me a boost on the odd occasion I have the urge to go over budget, as I couldn't bear to spoil the graph lines with a "peak or trough" due to extravagance.
    Enjoy!
