How do you remember what to record in your checkbook?

The only time I carry my checkbook is when I'm going to be making a deposit or withdrawal at the bank. I pay for everything with a card or cash.

Almost all of my financial transactions are done automatically. I haven't carried a chequebook for years. In Canada, almost no-one accepts cheques anymore with the advent of debit cards. My purse has the usual things, phone, sunglasses, mini makeup case, wallet, change purse (they got rid of pennies; nickels and dimes probably wont be far behind, and one dollar and two dollar bills have been replaced by coin) always carry a mini tape measure because you never know when you'll find the perfect bedside table. Car keys, key chain, dog leash (never know when you'll see a stray running on the road) and the odd stone I've seen that I like and old seeds I've taken from plants I like but never got around to planting.

I carry a small tape measure too...and a dog lead and collar for the very same reason, dog treats to lure that loose dog. Occasionally a rock/stone. Are we sisters? lol

Oh wow! Spiders are very interesting (and very necessary) but I'm afraid of the bigger ones, except Daddy Long Legs. lol

Oh she's lovely! Tarantulas, especially new world species, aren't really all that dangerous. About the same 'bite' as a bee sting, but they don't usually sting. They flick urticating hairs, itchy but harmless. And even that's hard to get calmer ones to do. Spiders are my favorite c:

I am more looking for a really slim checkbook wallet than other options. I have no idea why I feel like I have to have the complete checkbook and register with me. I know I can record checks later or look it up online, but I like to do it the old fashioned way.

With kids in sports, I feel like I need checks all the time. Dance fees, team sweatshirts, coach gifts etc. It never ends. Someone is always asking for money.

I'm with ya, I still have the need for checks and am still old school enough to prefer them most of the time. I'm also a firm believer that cash is king. I will allow no business to have access to my checking account as in direct withdrawals for bills. I made that mistake once, lesson learned.......

We're not dinosaurs yet, there's still a lot of us like that in the world, old,young and in between.

It was a H. carolinensis, or a Carolina wolf spider that had died and I guess the wind pushed it from it's burrow, so it was in very nice condition. Nobody had stepped on it, no ants or birds either! She was quite a large specimen, so I went into a near by restaurant and asked for a solo cup container to put her in and bring her home with me. I still have her in, now in a glass vial on my mantle. I love insects, I would like to study entomology, but more specifically, arachnology.

I'm a spider and snake person myself. I had a tarantula some years ago and even have a tarantula tattoo. And this is adorning wall space in my Coach room.
I don't remember what kind of spider it is, my daughter gave it to me years ago.

My fellow tpf members...you all can keep all those spiders wherever you live. I do not like spiders.at.all. I mean not at all. I live in the desert southwest and put up with all kinds of critters in the yard and occasionally in the house. Nope, nope...not my thing. lol

I agree. I am afraid to open this thread now for fear of seeing another spider!

I'm getting ready to travel & want to bring a bag for sightseeing that's durable & not too big. I've been back & forth deciding. This is what I'm considering & currently carrying to see if it's manageable.

In my vintage Coach (made in NYC) leather bag (11x10x4):

•DSLR camera in a drawstring bag (for a tiny bit of protection)
•Coach patent leather embossed agenda
•Coach slim leather cosmetic bag (for tin with mints & mirror, lip gloss, hotel-size lotion, cover-up stick, eyeliner)
•Coach slim signature card/coin wallet
•phone (not pictured)

Is that a shoulder sac? One of my favorites! I would be a little worried about carrying so much weight. When I got mine, one of the rivets holding on the buckles broke. Some of the designs only have one rivet on each side. The later versions have two rivets; we think because they figured out that the one rivet was a bad idea, especially because the rivets hit right in the middle of the seam. I love your skinny makeup kit.

Where are you going? I've traveled with a fabric glam and a saffiano tote. I try to find something that can handle any kind of weather and isn't too heavy.
