    Great guns on the book front!
    I've noticed my online banking now shows the bank details for everything if you click on the transaction.
    I wonder if yours is the same?
    If it's not adding up, compound it!

    Thanks 4 Seasons, Grogged and others who PM'd me.
    I hit 32 downloads for yesterday and today I am on 23 so far. Very, very excited. 
    Grogged - the thought of my transactions telling DH everything I spend doesn't sound like good news to me LOL....
