So I pull the group out for the 15th at that time, put the stamps on the dated area, seal the envelope, and off they go. I'm salery so my checks are always the same, and I know my budget, so it's a matter of doing the work. By doing it as they come in you spread it out. I also have douplicate checks, and when I'm sending them out, I go to the doups and enter all the checks at that time.

That is a very good idea. I need to try this. I am so forgetful, I forget the dates. The Hubster is also salary so I also know how much we are getting but I think we need to work on the budget part....

I am pretty nearsighted then I guess because I put on my glasses when I wake up. I probably could manage without them but I am pretty klutzy so I worry I will break another toe...that hurt!

Thanks!
