    I don't know how to download the spreadsheet.

    Ok-click on the link for the spreadsheet:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aid0emPf62OedDdQcHQtZUxIc0M4TFhPZy04emVITFE#gid=0

    Go to file then "save as" just as you would save any document!

    Hopefully that will sort it for you!
    Save it as something like motherships spreadsheet and save it to your desktop(I recommend) so you can find it :)

  • :eek::eek::eek:NSD yesterday and today but ~Ive put in an order to Approved foods. It is being delivered Monday so I will class it as a Monday spend. Frustrating day today as DS went for his driving test and left his paperwork behind while I had an appointment at the bank! Stupid boy!:eek::eek::eek:So the test did not happen and the money is down the pan! I so wish Id not been at the bank as it wouldnt have happend for certain! I know it is not my fault but it is so frustrating! I would have been nagging him as he left the house with "have you got you paperwork"? £62 lost! So cross! Id Id gone in his room on my return I would have seen it on his bed and would have headed to the test centre(there was time)but I didnt get informed until too late AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
    Sorry folks! I needed that! For all our attempts at moneysavung sh** like this happens and nobody but him to blame! DS money not mine but I think I am as angry as he is if not more!:(

    Another 8.20 and 2.50 in Tesco express and the co-op today. Doing quite well so far, have meal planned the next couple of weeks and with veg from the allotment, plus what's in the freezer I should get through under budget :-)

    I've seen two other replies but I don't really use google docs so there is another way that I think you could download and save it as an Excel spreadsheet instead of a google doc - Once you've followed the link you can also click on the "File" under "Second Purse and Stockpile" and then on "download as" choose excel and then save as...:)
