I'd need a pot of coffee
One thing that you might find useful (and I really need to write one up for Mrs E) would be a printed, laminated copy of your list once you have it all squared away. Could be very useful when you're in your dotage (although I appreciate that this is many decades away yet).0 -

I have a spreadsheet for that. I have another spreadsheet listing passive income as it comes in. I have the login details all written out for everything in my little Precious Notebook Guarded With My Life. The papers for each company (and there's always something, even if the account itself is online) are in a separate transparent folder in the lever arch file for that year's accounts. 's good, innit
Thinking about it, a laminated thingy might come in useful in a few years time, once everything really is up and running - the way people on MMM say "I'm not interested in stoozing or coupons, its not enough". That would be nice to be in that boat :cool:
I've just brewed a cuppa tea, and thats just not good enough. Coffee coming up.
Didn't want to work in the garden yet - too sunny, sadly. So I went to the front, more shaded, cutting back next door's leylandii, which they used to do for me, but not since the grandchild was born (take note, Ed!). So, mission accomplished - didn't do anything off my list, but *did* do something useful :j

I didn't in the end ... I might yet have half a cup, you never know
Oi! Dotage, indeed :eek: :rotfl:

Your recording systems and paperwork seem so efficient,KC:beer:, an object lesson to all who rely on a jumble of miscellaneous bits and bobs in an old shoebox. Not me of course! I'm very good with record-keeping and paperwork, just rubbish with money:o. Funnily, OH was talking this morning about how we should make sure our financial 'paperwork' is easily accessible in the event of one of us dying:eek:. He had to have a very minor medical procedure done to his foot yesterday and whilst I sympathise with the discomfort he must have suffered he is milking it for all it's worth. Mortality always rears up it's head at such points in his life. A 'glass half full' type of person he ain't:(.
I'll pass on the coffee offer but could murder a cup of tea if one's going please:T0 -
Hi CBC! Thank you
I like order, but I'm not very good at it, and my spreadsheets are just lists, with no equations/macros whatsoever
I use them to add up a column, and thats it!
Of course, I do my own accounts now, so thats another reason I need order. And yes, time marches on ... even for blokes! Hope your OH is better soon.
I've been listening to a podcast from elance and searching out copywriting stuff. And it starts off, who do you want to work for, i.e. which company? Argh! I've no idea! Thats one of the problem of having such broad interests ... Off to yahoo finance to look at market sectors ... or cats ... or I wonder if any builders merchants are missing out on women's business? Hmmm...2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Finance for cat owners?
Like money for women, but with more cats.
I suspect many of the customers would be female tho... :rotfl:0 -
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Brilliant :T
In barbie pink, of course :j
You know what ... I could even help *those* people - I googled the firm that runs that website, and there's two grammatical mistakes in the first line :eek:
Am feeling victorious over the garden - a whole square yard has been weeded thoroughly over the last few days, I've now got rid of the nasty clumps of ex-builder's rubbish as well, sprinkled topsoil on, and thrown loads of bark chippings over the lot. Its a little bit sad, because this is an area I'd already thoroughly weeded before I had the two viruses last year, but I feel like this time, with the chippings down, I'll be able to keep it under control. And I rescued a whole load of grape hyacinth bulbs that haven't come up this year - they were buried really deep down, poor little mites, saved now :beer:
Thats a lot of physical work, added to the leylandii defenestration ... no more now, some pampering needed :cool:2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Morning campers
Right, I've got agreement from everyone concerned to put stocks money into a cash isa, so I'm sending off the letter today.
Not so much physical hard work today - I'm definitely feeling the after effects todaytwo sets of gardening, and two sets of working in the house (the sealant and scrubbing the bathroom door
).
So, its an electrical appliances day: the washing machine, the dishwasher, the slow cooker :rotfl: followed by banking, reading the copywriting book and buying some broccoli2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

Love the one sheet laminated tip! Nice one Ed!
Happy Friday allMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
Happy Friday :j
Done the banking, got the broccoli :j
Two out of three electrical appliances have been used, but the dishwasher was the last one on, and I forgot I'd run out of dishes - lunch became a bit tricky
Its a bit parky down here this afternoon! I've got another layer on, thats got to be bad :eek:
One of the funniest sights round here is this really cute looking adolescent cat, lovely light tortoiseshell colouring, sitting on the collapsing roof of the shed next door, looking at their "garden" with the eye of a hunter - its full of brambles and weeds, their garden, there must be at least a nest of mice there ... that cat's having a whale of a time
Letter to be written, then its all about the reading/writing.2023: the year I get to buy a car0
