Is it me, or is all this financial stuff absolutely exhausting. _pale_ Either my brain is hurting so much after the last few months or I am coming down with the lurgy, but I feel like I could sleep for day and days !
Thats all for now.

Hey Pinot
I'm exhuasted today, only not by my money matters for a change
I wish i knew how to add a chart or whatever to my spreadsheet, feeling left out now! But it took me 1 whole year to understand how to do a basic budget oneso perhaps it is a little beyond me. Technology not my forte!

Hi Pinot, HH & Co
Hope you're feeling a bit better. I felt really ill in the night but better after a sleepless few hours so unfortunately well enough for work:mad:
However I also think that after the first few weeks/months of getting sorted, taking control etc there is a lull and I did feel a bit down for a bit. A bit like an anti climax but its to be expected. And still so much better than that horrible feeling in the pit of your stomach that you get BEFORE the LBM.
Snuggly evening in by the fire, early night for all of us then!
(oh forgot i've got 2 customers ironing to do (my second job:()

Sorry to hear that ! I have quickly caught up on your diary today, but nothings sinking in at all !
I'm reasonably techinical but spreadsheets are not my forte. My bar charts are all on an app, so in all honesty I just cheat, press a button and it does it all for me. Sorry ! Mr Pinot is great with all that stuff though , I will ask him when he is about next, (I think maybe Fri ), he might be able to give me what I call a "Divs Guide " Not aimed at you in any way of course, its just what I call everything and anything I need to him to explain to me over and over again and in simple terms! If not I'm sure Kerri is the Spreadsheet / Chart Queen !
Correct me if I'm wrong Kerri !

Louby Lou, I'm not sure whats up with me today, I think maybe its not the whole money stuff after all, I cant stop shivering, and my head hurts !! I have been trying to work all day, but my head is not playing the game ! I'm bundled up in so many layers, woolly socks and my daughters gilet with a hot water bottle, sitting in front of the computer. Ive got the heating up full pelt ( that wont help the budget will it ?!)
It could be a bit of both maybe , I'm kind of missing those letters dropping through the doormat and the phone ringing constantly !!:rotfl:Ive have still got so much more I want to do, but think I maybe need to switch off from the letter writing for a few days.
I'm sorry you have been feeling ill as well, shame you couldnt hide away indoors in your pjs !
Ooh a snuggly evening sounds lovely, but I'm still working and your still working , so neither of us can do that.I need to collect Mr Pinot from the train station about 11pm and take him back there about 5am. Yuk ! Think a raincheck for tomorrow is needed.
Really hope you feel better soon.
Sorry I havent caught up on everyones diaries properly for a few days.
Hope you are all ok though xLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

I tinker with spreadsheets, mine has 10 sheets
but I'm not a spreadsheet queen it's all fairly basic and no graphs. Although I quite fancy the idea of a few graphs

Anyway hope the toddy worked and you feel more chipper today!
