Received an email from my bank with the subject line "Important Information about your Account" this evening. Normally, I'd ignore these but tonight, I decided open it and read it. Boy, am I glad I did! I write a lot of checks (mostly for my child's daycare fees) and enjoy the free checks I get from my bank.
The email states that any check reorders after a certain date are not free anymore, we'd just get a few dollars off.
It's actually great timing because I'm down to my last booklet so I'm about to ask for a reorder in a few weeks anyway.
So I quickly call my bank's hotline and requested new checks. The agent asks, do you want 100 or 400 ? We can actually give you up to 400 new checks for free.
I want the free 400 checks, of course!
and now, I am going around the house with a wide smile plastered across my face. It's nice when life hands out freebies every now and then.
It almost makes me forget the shame I felt when I stalled the car on my way home today. I was so smug when I drove hubby's manual transmission car to the office (my regular car is off for a service) this morning and things went smoothly. I felt that driving stick-shift again after more than decade was just like getting back on a bike - easy, instinctive and uncomplicated so long as you don't think about it.
Bawal mayabang. Lesson learned =)

I have never learned to drive back in PI so I would not touch a manual transmission car with a 10 foot pole.
Earlier this year, I got free checks too. I wanted a particular design, but that design was not free (of course, the nice ones are not free). So I stuck with the free check design. Now I like it.
