OK...this is gonna sound really pedantic..(and it is). 2 years ago I devised a spreadsheet (with formulae) that keeps me updated every 2 minutes re the state of the Pound against the Euro. It tells me what this months income will be. This is displayed on the screen at all times. It then calculates our income for the next month and 12 months.
It takes into account all bills and expenditure, including the most mundane, ie; birthdays Christmas etc, road tax/servicing etc.
The bottom line is that it gives me an annual report..(available at any time) as to what the next year is going to be like BASED ON TODAYS RATE OF EXCHANGE.
Monthly reports are available at all times..as are percentage increases/decreases? on all utility bills etc.
I have worked on this project for a few years now and am quite proud of it. It has never let me down and I refer to it daily.
Bragging over !

Would you believe I've done something similar to this

I used it to forecast our finances when we did the big move ........ it said if Mrs Doggy didn't stop buying furniture we'd be broke by Christmas......... it's been bang on so far
