Am I strange?

I get really frustrated at this time of the month :o .

All our statements are in and spreadsheets up to date :D.

I keep looking at them and check internet banking 2-3 times a day but nothing changes :rolleyes: . I can't wait for the 1st when the wages are in, Payplan get paid and I can start updating my spreadsheet to show our new totals. I even look forward to the postman coming with our statements now :D .

This is a complete change to a year ago when I hated checking the bank balance, cried over our statements and had know idea how much debt we had :o .

Am I going mad :eek: ? Please tell me I'm not alone :o .

Sam,

    Hi Sam,

    We have debts similar to your level and I hope that we can pay off as much in the time that you have already. No wonder you look forward to your statements now!

    Well done x

    You're definitely not alone. This seems to be a side effect of regaining control of your finances!

    Thanks Debtweary, I'm sure you'll manage to work away at your debt too :D.

    DDD, thanks, I am in danger of becoming obsessive though :rolleyes: . OH came home last night and gave me the receipt for his diesel so I could take it off my budget (he's well trained now). I'd already taken it off because I saw it on internet banking :rotfl: .
