    Well now it's confession time - my spreadsheet has gone pear shaped!

    This is only because while I was away for the last few days I lost track of my spending. I'd been keeping it up to date really well but what I forgot to do was to keep all my receipts from the spends while I was away and/or jot them down in a diary or notebook so I could transfer them.

    I suppose I'll have to do the best I can, put in what I can remember and from any receipts I still have, and carry on accurately from now.

    I can't do much else really!! Never mind I can make a fresh start when it comes to April! It probably won't be too far out!:o

    I saw last night, just before going to bed at a ridiculously late hour once again, that we can now add our diary link to our signatures!!

    Have just done mine - look forward to seeing all of yours too!!:money:

    This will help us keep track - it's a really nice idea I think! The details are on a Sticky at the top of the DFW Diaries board x:j

    Hope you're having a good weekend so far Hummingbird. I'd not seen the information about allowing diary links now, so off to have a read and probably add mine to my sig.

    Thanks scuba, I don't think many people have done it yet - expect it will catch on after a while!

    Beautiful day here so I have given the grass its first cut. The back and front lawns are only small, but I have a large triangular side plot with two trees which is always a bit of an effort for the first cut, as the trees drop loads of bits of twig etc. I've filled my wheelie bin with the debris - we don't have bins for green waste here so I now have no room for my normal rubbish! Never mind most things can go in the recycling bags so that will help a lot.

    I am now swigging back orange juice like it's going out of fashion LOL!!:rotfl:

    Earlier I watched a youtube video on how to kondo a tee shirt and got a surprise because it's almost how I already fold my tee shirts!!! Except, I was leaving it a stage earlier and making the mistake of leaving the neckline showing. Giving it that extra fold and hiding the neckline is so neat!!! Can't wait to do them all now:T:T:T:T I know - exciting lives we are leading eh???!!! :D

    I'm refusing on principle to even google kondoing things. :D

    Mostly because my lazy streak wont allow me to repack my wardrobe and drawers less than a year after I moved in to this place (and if I'm honest there are still things in a suitcase as I ran out of coathangers).

    Glad you got the grass done, used to hate having to do it in one of my old houses, happily ever since I've had communal gardens so it's done for me.

    Humming as you'll see from my thread it is more or less capable of taking over your life:rotfl: but its deffo worth the time! It's good if you already used the basic method anyway! But sadly yes it is also quite exciting :rotfl: I did loaads of our stuff today, I felt like a crack addict, finished a batch of stuff then wanted to do more more MORE. .. . but in doing so I got a fair bit of space back and can actually see a lot more now.. was at the point where LL & I were wearing the stuff that would come out of the wash straight away again cos it was just there on the top.. round and round.. so maybe now some of our other stuff can get a look in :D LL had a batch of 39 items from eBay too and they all came freshly washed, kondo'd them right up and put them away! :T
    anyway hope you enjoyed your day and have a restful evening! lotsa love ! :heart2: x

    I feel tired tonight but in a nice way...had lots of fresh air today, which is great. I've also got quite a nice lot done on the cleaning/gardening front over the last couple of days. :j

    I've decided that my March spreadsheet was just a practice run:o
    I got so far behind after I went away. Never mind, fresh start for April, and I've learned the lesson of keeping everything recorded if I go away so I can transfer it later on.

    I hope everyone has been having a good week so far - is it really Wednesday tomorrow already?!!!!
