Two or three times a week. Money keeps track in between times and everything important is on DD so it doesn't need it every day.No longer using this account for new posts from 20130

It used to be once a month, when the statement arrived, and even then, it was only a glance
Nowadays, I check every day, and do an update of my spreadsheet so I know exactly where I'm up toIs it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

Between 2 and 4 times a day lol. Usually because I'm at my computer and I'm bored, so I see the link that says Internet Banking and click on it lol.
But I do like to know what's going in and out of it. I hate not knowing.
ps. I'm off to check it now!0
