In Scotland I used to write out the 'Cheques' for my monthly bills.
I had a nice 'Check' skirt I wore a lot but I kept my 'Plaid' skirt for special occasions.
Here in the US I write out the 'Checks' to pay my monthly Bills,
and I have a 'plaid' upholstered Sofa that looks remarkably similar to the 'check' skirt I used to wear a lot (that was reason I picked the fabric)
I still however keep my 'Plaid' skirt for special occassions..
Cheques..I never use them here..***BG***
