Excel projects
Add up numbers, keep lists tidy, and turn columns of figures into something you can actually read. Pick a project and build it alongside the page — you will end up with something you actually keep.
A monthly budget you actually keep using
Build a one-page tracker that adds up what you spend each month and shows what is left over.
- Seeing where the month actually goes
- Checking whether a new bill fits before you agree to it
- Sitting down once a month with a coffee and 10 minutes
A sortable contact and address list
Keep names, phone numbers and addresses in one sheet you can sort, filter and print.
- A family or club contact sheet
- Christmas card and invitation lists
- Any list you currently keep on scraps of paper
A trip cost planner with a running total
Work out what a holiday or big purchase will really cost, and try different options side by side.
- Deciding between two holidays without guessing
- Splitting a group trip fairly
- Any 'can we afford this?' conversation
