    I thought about it, but I hate to link anything to my bank for security reasons.
    I looked at it and promptly discarded it  when I realised it connected to my bank account. I don't need the points that much.

    I think you can just do a credit card, so it only sees what you spend? It wasn't very clear on how you earn the points though - just that it gives you better offers based on where you spend, I think?

    I saw it and couldn't be bothered really - I haven't used the points I've collected so far so not sure what good any extra would do 😆

    Right, I had a glass of rosé last night and no whirring mind 👍 (although maybe I've just generally got less on my mind 🤔?) Will continue with the experiment!

    I linked Quidco to my card. Never had a problem with it, it just collects data about what I spend.

    Whirring mind in the early hours and waking for no reason is one of the things that made me give up drinking sc, sorry to say but since being teetotal it’s completely gone now, sorry if that’s not what you want to hear 😂

    Well I did think that would probably be the case 🤣!

    Ah, yes, but I have the whirring mind etc. and I don't need alcohol for it to start! So it's not a given, you'll be pleased to know!

    I'm loving reading everyone's reviews of 2021 and plans for next year 😀 I'm itching to get mine posted (is it sad to admit I've already got it drafted 🤔🤣???), but holding off until the launch of my new diary after Christmas....

    Will have to continue to live vicariously through everyone else in the meantime, with the risk that I might appear to have pinched all my ideas by the time I post them 🤣! Keep them coming, I'm enjoying them 😀!
