            Whoops sorry for being responsible for you buying jeans...😏 Glad you managed to sort the refunds out though!
 Catching up on the spreadsheet talk, I love a good spreadsheet 😆 Use them all the time at work so why not use them at home. Have one for all the finances that I update with the outgoings once a week and just leave it to magically remove that from the budgeted amounts and then predict if I'm going to go over in certain categories or not. Also have a sheet in there to track the mortgage and predict the new end date as the overpayments start to take effect. I know they aren't for everyone, so as long as what you're doing works for you, then that's all that matters 👍
 P.S. Dr Mark Sloane was a pretty good TV detective...for a Dr 😂Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20175

            I like Frost as well - looks very dated now though 😳 And I've never even heard of Dr Mark Sloane 🤔 There can't be a TV detective I have missed, surely!!!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

            SC Dr Mark is brilliant …. he was in diagnosis murder abit like murder she wrote but with a medical twist. Dr Sloan was played by !!!!!! Van Dyke! Though of course Specy Mozzer is the true king of TV detectives. CM3

            Can't believe you're all forgetting about Kojak! I know he's not British 😂 but he should still be Britain's favourite detective in my opinion 😍😍😁4

            What about Vera???On another subject - I do believe some food groups should be banned. Or at least not on the shelves of any supermarket I go in.3

            I don’t believe it MSE censored me - the short form of Richard🤣 is too rude5

            Ahhh, now I have seen Diagnosis Murder, but it was a long time ago and I don't think I ever knew the character's name 🤣! Specy Mozzer is drawing another blank, and I've only ever heard of Kojak, not seen it! Vera definitely rates highly though - she made me go on holiday to Northumberland 🤣!
 If we're going random 80's, how about Knight Rider? Or the dog version (surprisingly with less humping) The Littlest Hobo?
 Currently watching an episode of Inspector Morse with an all-star cast of Sean Bean, Richard Wilson, Jim Broadbent, Phil Davis, Sue Johnston and Robert Pugh! Possibly all less famous when it was made in 1992 🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
