Do you check your bank accounts regularly?

I am surprised that so many people of my acquaintance fail to check their bank accounts until there is a problem.

Maybe I am a bit OTT, but I check all our accounts daily to ensure there is no illicit activity.

I am fed up that the amount one can have safely in each account is being reduced to only £75,000, which is a bit of a bummer!

I check my bank statement every month it always tells me that money out exceeds money in.

Oh goodness I couldn't live with that. I would panic if I didn't have a good few thousand in each account.

Oh well only another two years and 8 months before I get my state pension-until then I live on what I have saved.

I have the full amount in premium bonds, and have given the full amount to each of my three daughters who keep the money in trust for me, but keep the prize money.

I remember premium bonds--every two years I get £25. The odds are as silly as the new lottery.
