Wombled 42p around school whilst out on duty today.
Also discovered that my emergency credit card is £11 in credit. Turns out it's a cashback card and I didn't even know. Not sure what to do about that really...

That happened to me on a card I was done with but didn't want to close. I just used the money till it was gone. Why not just take it to the supermarket and use £11 to the penny?

I see Sugarbaby has now answered. The other thing I might mention is the daily cap on fares so after a point it's free to travel too.
