    I used to have about 30-40 pound in my purse ...but used my card for most things (debit) ....that all changed when my daughter became 13 ...almost overnight her monetary needs have bled me dry:D
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)

  • I said £10-£30. I normally have around £20 on me, which covers my daily travel to work and any little extras that might crop up - usually things like bread, milk or loo roll on the way home!

    I don't spend money at work, and work at home half the week anyhow. My OH does the main household shopping (in cash!) also, so I really don't need that much!

    We're also saving (FTBs), so trying not to spend money unless really necessary :)

    Remember the MoneySaving mantras!

    IF YOU'RE SKINT......
    Do I need it? Can I afford it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    IF YOU'RE NOT SKINT......
    Will I use it? Is it worth it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    Usually have about £20 in my wallet for the emergency meetings at work (a.k.a. A pint at lunchtime :beer: )
    However, £20 could be in my wallet for weeks without being touched.

    Everything else goes on my 0% card or the 3% cashback GE card.
