Good Morning

The sun is trying very hard to shine through the clouds we have this morning, and it is cold, only plus 2*C when I got up.

What's  on my agenda today?  

I have a errand to do...going to the bank to see if I can get some bills paid that are outstanding since my Mother's passing.   When bills such as this need to be paid I realize and understand the financial institutions have policies and procedures that must be followed.  However, wish they would keep you informed as to the status of the situation.  I know, they are busy.....but is it not business etiquette to keep customers informed.   In this day and age I assume not.

The bank,  ($$$$)  where my Mother's account is, is over an hours drive from where I live, so I was informed I could go to a local ($$$$) bank with all the pertinent information and they could fax everything to my Mother's bank, where they can be paid.   OK sounds good to me.    There are two ($$$$)  banks close to me that I could go to, however, one does not have any tellers,  machines have taken over the jobs the staff use to do.   I am old school, going to avoid this one, and going to the one where I can speak to a person and get this taken care of. 

Don't get me wrong, I do use the bank machines to get cash and also pay my Visa bill, only because my bank does not give me a stamped receipt when I pay at the counter. 

Do you use your phone or machines to take care of your financial tasks?

Have a wonderful day.
