            Me too! I made spread sheets to help decide on each area too, i.e. cake, flowers etc, listing prices for different options, comments etc so all the information is there for easy comparison. I have a normal list to keep track of the budget too 0 0

            I'm starting to feel better now about my listmania! :rotfl:7 Feb 2012: 10st7lbs 14 Feb: 10st4.5lbs 14 Feb: 10st4.5lbs 21 Feb: 10st4lbs * 1 March: 10st2.5lbs :j13 March: 10st3lbs (post-holiday) 21 Feb: 10st4lbs * 1 March: 10st2.5lbs :j13 March: 10st3lbs (post-holiday) 30 March: 10st1.5lbs 30 March: 10st1.5lbs 4 April: 10st0.75lbs * 6 April: 9st13.5 lbs 4 April: 10st0.75lbs * 6 April: 9st13.5 lbs 27 April 9st12.5lbs * 16 May 9st12lbs * 11 June 9st11lbs * 15 June 9st9.5lbs * 20 June 9st8.5lbs 27 April 9st12.5lbs * 16 May 9st12lbs * 11 June 9st11lbs * 15 June 9st9.5lbs * 20 June 9st8.5lbs 27 June 9st8lbs * 1 July 9st7lbs * 7 July 9st6.5lbs 27 June 9st8lbs * 1 July 9st7lbs * 7 July 9st6.5lbs 0 0

            Not lists... More spreadsheets! N I have mine on my iPad, so it talks to my phone and I have it on me all the time! If I buy something it immediately gets updated! :T0 :T0

            I too am a list freak. I have a To Do list (my favourite kind ) for the wedding which covers everything, right down to things to do on the morning of the wedding. This is divided into three-month sections, which in turn are split into individual months so I can see how busy each month will be in terms of wedding prep. I think I spend more time fiddling with the list, adding tasks, moving tasks to different months etc, than I do actually doing the tasks... :rotfl: ) for the wedding which covers everything, right down to things to do on the morning of the wedding.

 I also enjoy a good spreadsheet, although H2B is the excel nut.     Marrying my lovely man on 1st September 2012 Marrying my lovely man on 1st September 2012

            Our wedding spreadsheet is multisheet and hyperlinked to death with a covering contents page and a summary page to keep a note of the estimate and the actual spend for each area. Each area has a page where you enter every individual spend and where it is from, this then adds up and links to the summary to check against the estimate and to the suppliers page which lists each supplier used with all their contact details. We also have a savings page which keeps a track of that and updates from the spend as well so that we always know how much money is available.
 We then have guest list spreadsheets and also to do lists, and we have lists of our lists to keep track of everything.
 Oh my God I have just realised - HOW SAD ARE WE!
