Another ostrich with the bank balance. I would check it about twice a month. My card often got declined because I had no idea what was on the account. I'm so embarrassed admitting it, but think it's good to face up to it, keep me from slipping back into my old ways. I didn't even know the passwords, I had to ask dh to do it 
Now I check every day and keep a running list of everything that has to go out, and check it off when it's gone, to make sure there is enough money and not go overdrawn. We get charged €5 for every transaction in overdraft. We were spending a fortune in fees.
lolly huge welcome. Another one here who fritters money on little things, but goes without bigger, more important things. Lots of support here!!
collie I would love to live in your house, it sounds like so much fun! I do an activity advent calender too, but those tiny envelopes and pegs sound terrific!
Checked my bank this morning, and had problems with Dorothy Perkins website last night with order not going through. The money was taken 4 times! So phoned them and should get the refund tomorrow, phew! It was €117 on top of the €23 for the actual order! Was on hold for ages, but was impressed at how quickly they sorted it and how lovely they were on the phone.
Low spend day apart from that, just 74cent on tortilla wraps that didn't come in yesterday's tesco order.
