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

Nowadays, I check every day, and do an update of my spreadsheet so I know exactly where I'm up to

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
