Fortunately, for me, the nightmare is nearly over, as tomorrow I will be calling my bank to settle my loans and I'll be paying off my credit cards.

Superb - well done (especially seeing your sig & how much you owed :eek:) :T:j:T

I am definitely a spreadsheet obsessive. I use google docs so I can access from home, work or elsewhere, and update every time I spend anything. I have millions of tabs, including ones where I weekly update tbc, valued opinions and shopandscan account values so that I can keep track of how much extra I will have to spend at Christmas. I also get really annoyed when I have anything in the "debit card spending" section for more than a day. If I can update my spreadsheet that quickly by hand, why can't their electronic systems update my bank account?!

There are some free mse type spreadsheets on www.d-an-g.co.uk for those who do not know how to put them together.

I am realising I am such a lightweight :cool: (shame I don't say that on the Slimming World threads :);))

I love my spreadsheet too!!!:D

At the moment its got 13 different sheets

-Curry recipes
-debts sheet showing all debts, monthly balances, and projected df dates
- sheet for hubby showing all outgoings and incomings plus the balance when i last checked the banks and projected balance at the end of the month
- sheet for me showing the same
- combined sheet showing overall income v expenditure
- chart data showing projected v actual balance of hubbys bank(as he has an overdraft) helps pinpoint our fd date more accuratley for that particular debt
- graph
- credit card sheet showing minimum payments, balances and due dates
-recipe planner
-meal planner
-shopping list
- nursery fee check
-christmas list and budget

When i get to work in the morning its the first thing i open after my emails and it stays open all day just in case i remember an expense i need to add or find a receipt or want to tweak our budget. I would have no idea where we are up to without it!!

Theres going to be another page added soon as ive just opened a Co-op account for all my bills to go out of.Should help me spread my remaining cash better!

Guess what I'm going to be setting up tonight
Yes, you have all inspired me! I need a spreadsheet! I love spreadsheet's at work but am only at the point of slowly extracting my head out of the sand with regards to debt. I probably ought to do an SOA too.
