    I want to be in the spreadsheet club. I love spreadsheets. I live on them (my job), but even outside work I seem to have a spreadsheet for everything. I even had a spreadsheet for my daughter's birthday party... well two actually... one to work out the games / timings etc and the other to work out cost of party / how to get most impressive party out of least amount of money etc. It never even occurred to me it might be weird until hubby pointed it out to me :rotfl:


    Welcome to the MSE geek club!

    I can ony use autosum and graphs but I still adore them and use for all manner of planning things.

    I used for a playist for a party so I could sort by alphabetical by genre etc!!!

    My fav sheet of all is the DMP one though. Just love visualising to keep me on track. Have many sheets on it including outstanding, budget, shopping list, savings projection, pension, mortgage etc

    One of this year's objectives is to learn how to apply formulae.

    I nearly peed myself at the comment you referred to your hubby in

    Enjoy!

    We need more. Geeks of the world unite. Stand up and be counted ... on a spreadsheet :rotfl:

    Get some 60's songs on the playlist spreadsheet ready for the 25th :D

    Am optimistically hoping to hit £68K and something. But anything below £69K will be wonderful :j

    New spreadsheet target is 20% paid by the end of the year. And it's in your special green highlighting :T

    Debt-free and Proud!
    I don't know just when you think you have got life sorted it jumps up and bites you on the btm:mad:

    Living out in the country we have no gas. So we have oil central heating. Ordered my oil - everything lovely. Then I receive a letter 'we have been trying to contact you'. OH said I got some phone calls but they wouldn't say who they were so he didn't pass on my work no. (just in case they were from the nasty camp). I left messages, you know 'this is the voice mail of....' and no one got back to me. Getting increasingly irritated I called someone else and moaned. Got a call this afternoon eventually and have to pay £300 up front and increase my monthly payments to £80 a month from £50 and she denied that I had left any messages!

    I would really like a smilie that blows raspberries at this point.

    Heaven knows what my spreadsheet is going to do:eek:

    There are people that would be happy with the mention of 69 but I couldn't possibly comment further.

    I will be here to celebrate the 68s with you. Can't wait.
