Default Oh dear

Just doubled checked and realised that I have spent about £930 on computer bits since May I'd say I'd need to hide my cards, but I know my debit card details off by heart, not sure if that is a good thing or not Didn't actually realise that it was that much

Hope I get that pay rise now *gulp*

Yeah I know my debit card details, it took me less than a week to remember the new number etc when my old card expired. Unfortunately I can't even say what I've spent my money on over the last six months as it goes on so many different things!

My bank account is the healthiest it has been in years!

Until I pay off my credit card which I am going to do in a moment

Meh... well at least I can cut up some plastic! (But can't help thinking of all the other things I could have done with the money - like bought a car?! booo!)

Same as me then, apart from the handbag thing anyway I tend to forget to open bank statements as I check my balance online and track it that way.

I'd be bricking myself if I were afraid to open my bank statements.

I normally know to the nearest £100 how much is in my current account plus I get a text message from the bank when large amounts go in or out of the account.

Yeah me too... think I will sign up to online statements anyway... although the paper statements have come in useful when I had to argue about a payment that I HAD made to my managing agents last year

I don't tend to look at bank statements either but that's because I obsessively check my online banking at least twice a day Pretty much at all times, I know exactly what my balance is.
I also have my debit card number memorised within a week of getting it.

I only use online banking so I gave up paper statements years ago I generally have a rough idea of what is in there though and I think I know my DC number by heart, but I still like to check everytime I use it online
