Happy Birthday dizzyMy first question is "who actually reads these?" Talk about wasted resource! Now it's wasting mine...
Gah.
Good question
I asked out finance officer what she does with a spreadsheet today which I have to create, she updates with payments, I transfer onto the system I created the list from in the first place. Her reply 'nothing, I do it for you' my reply was 'ok stop doing it then as I can enter the details from the bank statement directly and save us both the work of the spreadsheet' :TThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
