Suzitiger I seem to have become the resident go-to in my office for IT related issues/spreadsheets/word functions. I'm about to share my amazing and wonderful secret with you - GOOGLE IT!

Unless it's network related which I can't fix myself, I rarely call IT helpdesk...I G00gle everything first. I've fixed a good proportion of my own IT problems over time

suzitiger if you do a G00gle search for, I don't know, spreadsheet idiot guide or Excel basic user guide or something like that and then still in the searchbox type "filetype : pdf" (but no spaces either side of the colon....I typed it and then it came out in the post with a smilie sticking its tongue out in the middle - grrrr!) it's more likely to bring up a ready made sheet that will suit your purpose and you can just print off. If you've Adobe reader you can open it fine and I'm pretty sure that most browsers have a built in pdf fiile reader you can print from anyway??
Or you can also do filetype:doc to bring up Word docs related to your search, filetype: ppt to bring up a Powerpoint presentation etc. etc. Hope that helps?

Just spent £280 on a flippin shed! But that's the rabbits sorted:rotfl: should be here in a couple of weeks.

So I shall not be increasing my savings total next month, but that's ok :T

Spag, please can you change my target figure, as it has gone up a little! Thanks.

Right, it looks like I have spent an absolute fortune last month between one thing and another! Not entirely sure what it went on either... Perhaps time to consider a spending diary again.

I have £50 left over from last month, and have decided to only pay £200 this month, so that I can put some aside for my holiday in Sept

New totals are:

#143 (I think) £1575/3250=48.46% I might top that up to 50% mid-month if I'm doing well at living frugally!

Right, car insurance sorted! Went for a slightly more expensive policy, cheapest was £500 but I paid for the next cheapest company at £540 as they don't charge an admin fee for changing my address later in the year (£35 a pop, and I'm potentially moving twice!) Doesn't seem MSE, but I'm sure it is somehow, and it's a £200 saving on my renewal quote!

Haven't been on here for a while, so here's an updated figure from me and a big jump from my previous total.
£11,664.50/£16,500
I actually think I could pay off this challenge by the end of the year. My full debt total is now under £10,000 for the first time in nearly 10 years and I'm determined to be completely debt free ASAP. Keep ploughing on everyone.
