White goods do things like that too - I've had 4 or 5 pays (my pension is paid fortnightly) when I've not had enough to live on in my everyday account without digging into & sometimes clearing out #2. Savings account, which is meant for times when I need big stuff, & what is worse, #3. Don't Touch account - meant to live up to it's name.

So this pay I had no bills, so thought I could do the usual - divide pay into the 3 accounts, buy the usual groceries & necessary stuff using no. 1. account, & start saving again, when me bloody freezer died!

So it's back to digging some money out of the tiny little Savings Account (which only had 1 fortnight of savings in it!) & maybe into the Don't Touch Account.

At least I have a 3rd account - some folks don't have savings.

Maybe you can go busking, Brett when you're not studying!
