We use Spotify (pay for family membership- 5 of us use it). You can often get a code for a free 3 or 6 month trial of the paid version, but you could also try out the freebie version (with annoying ads)I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £204

I can cope with ads in podcasts, but I definitely do not want them blaring out when I'm mid one-woman rave while creating my Friday night pizza 😳! Free trial sounds good 👍Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

So, I know I'm a total saddo, but there's something much s*xier about paying money off a credit card than there is in just putting money in the bank to pay it in the future. £5 from Shoppix just paid off - now just £21,136.45 of micro-payments to find 😅😀!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

We will be weeks yet @South_coast - the curse/blessing of having young kids. Grandparents gift so much sweet nonsense that I only got them one small selection box and a bag of chocolate coins each this year, it made no difference to our groaning kitchen worktops 😅6
