Am I strange?

I get really frustrated at this time of the month
.
All our statements are in and spreadsheets up to date
.
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
.
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
.
Am I going mad :eek: ? Please tell me I'm not alone

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 x0 -
You're definitely not alone. This seems to be a side effect of regaining control of your finances!Donedoingdebt Lightbulb moment January 2000. Debt at highest approx £102,000. Debt now (October 2009 - absolutely fork all!!!):beer:

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

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: .
