    One day to go crew...

    So - for a signature:

    On your main menu you can left click (if you use a mouse) 'Quick Links' and go to 'Edit Signature'. This opens up a box where you type.

    You can have then play around with font size, text, colour and spacing if you want to. Pressing 'preview signature' will show you what it will look like. Scroll back down and you can adjust the text until you are happy. Then click 'Save Signature'. You can insert emojis off the side bar too... Either click them - or if that doesn't work, right-click, then copy and paste in the text box.

    Holler if you run into trouble!

    Right. Budgeting done for February - it's a bit difficult on day 1 as I get paid mid-month and if my pension supplier gets themselves organised they'll be deducting 2 months contributions. Also, rental income can't be relied upon until it arrives from the management company.

    So February bills, CC payments and some 'budgetted' items covered with cash already in the bank. The rest has to be a bit flexible.I like to cover the following month with my salary, and the rest goes into savings. A bit convoluted but it works. I use YNAB.

    15 NSD's planned.

    Down 9 lbs so another stone to go. I need to enter my races this month. Entry fees budgetted for.

    £250 Grocery budget. Indulgences £50. Unexpected 'household' expenses £250. Unprepared/Fat budget £0
    Goals - Weight loss 6/26lb at 22nd Jan 18
    Mmmm. 26lb at 1/7/18. Oops:o
