As I see it, OF is great to remind you to pay bills and hence save you from debt and the related extra charges. It was not designed to keep track of two flat mates who individually pay bills to you on different dates each 3-3 months (that's what, 5 bills a month?). A simple spreadsheet would give you a one-glance oversight of what you paid and what your flat mates owe you.

It is also a safer way to do it. Imagine accidentally checking off one of the bill reminders for your flat mates. Can easily happen in a rush. That will cost you.
Yep - I think you're right. A spreadsheet using my gail account - I could even share it online

I had a nice system set up to remind me when to remind clients that they're overdue on an invoice - I was hoping to replicate that on some level

Thanks
