Hi I dont actualy own a shreader so for the last few years every letter i recieve with my name/address or bank/NI Number on ,I simply cut out these details and put them in a Bucket with some soapy water and once i get about an inch deep i drain it out and squash it all together into a ball and let dry,If you can make out my details after that you must be Psychic.Stay safe with so much Fraud About.

Surely a shredder would be a worthwhile investment, and whole lot less messy?"You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

used to rent a house with an open fire and used to burn all the letters with personal details we didn't need to keep. since buing a house i dont have this facility.. someone gave me a manual shreader that was hard work and i used this, but have since bought an electric shreader 1 pound from a jumble sale - much easier and very cheap!!Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness.

Hi, I also soak my private details in water. It is quick and easy. I do it with small pieces of paper.December Grocery challenge 300 euros for me and half a person (OH only here at the weekend)
so far 20/300. And a little extra (not calculated yet) for some nice things at Christmas.0 -
