excel obsessed newbie

Hello ladies

im a newbie to the forum; i have been lurking for a while. it's 9 months today until we tie the knot in buckinghamshire.

i am a bit of a finance nut so have a 17 work sheet spreadsheet, each sheet has a specific subject (wedding attire, venue, church, flowers, entertainment, transport etc) and then a summary page to total it all up, so we stay on budget!

was hoping to get to know you and help out where i can with any knowledge; i have basically planned the entire thing already! also good to have a nose if i haven't thought of some things!

lots of love

holly x

    I love excel. I had a pivot table in my wedding spreadsheet which my fiancé made me remove as it added nothing. I hate to admit that he was right but any excuse to pivot.

    WELCOME, by the way! ?

    Hahahah you sound like me! i just love it; i can spend hours staring at it, adding things up, moving them around. my latest addiction is Pinterest though; I have lost HOURS on that site! now i have discovered the iPhone app and the secret way to Pin from Safari using a bookmark process i am unstoppable!!

    gosh 3 months to go! how exciting!! 9 months feels like forever away but everyone keeps telling me it will fly by Smiley winking the fact that we got engaged 14 months from the date and now it's 9 months has flown!

    Wow, your Pinterest board is amazing! I've lost hours on that site lately too... can't be good for my health, but so many amazing ideas and photos of all things wedding-y! Loving the Excel spreadsheets too. As soon as we've worked out anything resembling a budget I'll be exactly the same, lol.

    Welcome by the way ?

    Wow, you ARE organised!! I would have to say, I think you'd also get on well with Nutella, she's a spreadsheet nerd ?

    Then again, she claims my wedding spreadsheet is worse than hers, but tbh I actually stole it from someone else on here. I think the term for it was 'epic' Smiley smile
