    This thread goes so fast - I am subscribed but how do I get to the last post I read? I can only ever find my way to the last page or last post and then I have no idea of how far back to go and so prob end up missing loads :confused:


    Thanking folks means you can see where you have read up to each time but I don't know how much it helps.

    Has anyone else got into a habit with their pot yet? I just walk in an put all my change in (without counting) its become a habit in just a month!!!

    I've got into the habit of apologising because I never get any change from my CC. However, now that I have joined the grocery challenge, I'm going to try to use cash so I'm not forvced into spending more than a fiver, which you need to do to use a card. Phil likes this idea, he knows he may get fed some coins now :D

    NYK HINTS & TIPS: Interest free is great on a credit or debit card but you always have to make up your small spend to a minimum £5 spend - is it really worth it? Think about it, before you write off cash :o
