crayola, good point about an extra charge for replacement of lost receipts. i wondered about implementing that, and think i will. my chronic receipt losing family is finished at the end of this month, but it might deter others becoming the same. i hate paperwork, and having to dig up old receipts and issue duplicates due to sheer negligence of adults is a total pet peeve of mine!

a&b, looks like i should make another daily spreadsheet for each month to record the daily info. thanks for the tip!
