I was spending money like water and drinking like a fish....I ended up like a fish out of water (sob..)!

Luckily, I managed to bag 12 free bottles of Smile plonk and £100 from Barclays for opening/closing their account, so now I'm more of a happy bunny than a dried up old miserable fish!

All hail Martin Lewis! :beer:
