Mummy is very very very sad…..over a corrupted Excel


Mummy had a simple excel to manage our family expense. Mummy had several worksheets by months. Besides that, there were some worksheets to record all the debts (Interest Free Installments).

All was saved in a small external HDD.

Guess what happen?

The whole excel got corrupted when Mummy tried to open this morning to update the expense. Mummy’s heart cried and it was very very sad.

Mummy tried to check on a big external HDD which Mummy used as back-up for the company documents (because Mummy’s company did not provide us any space to back-up our documents). The expense excel last updated was in May09 and now already Sept09. Besides that during such a short period, Mummy made a few changes on the Excel. Sob sob sob…..

Mummy was and still in the lost on how to restructure back all ….sooo sad…………..

Wah, you even key in everything you spend in Excel? That's a lot of work but I guess it's a matter of getting used to it eh? Don't you burn the copy into a CD or thumb drive? This happened to me when I was still working and since then, everything that I do (esp important files and big files), I make a backup copy.

oh dear... I hope you are feeling better... and we were just talking about this over lunch not too long ago.
Better back-up all photos and other documents. Don't worry, can always redo it bit by bit...
