I'll almost be glad to go back to drinking for the sole reason that I will have something to blame these strange dreams on. I am seriously weirded out 🤷♀️!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

I am giving serious consideration to changing my bank account once the Edge saver bonus ends in May. After 11(?) years together, it feels like Santander and I have reached the end of the road....
Monzo is looking favourite at the moment, does anyone here use it? I can't quite work out from their website how the pots work - are they separate accounts that you give a name to (this is what I do now), or is it all in your current account and you just earmark certain amounts of money for certain purposes? If the latter, what happens when you spend money, do you go into the app and tell it which pot to take it from? And if you pay a credit card via their own app, does it ask you which pot you want to take it from?Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

OK, interesting. I've not heard of them for current accounts before. In my head, I thought they were a peer-to-peer lender 🤔? Will do some research!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
