I spent most of mine in Greggs this morning! A sandwich, a packet of crisps, a festive bake and two slices of Christmas cake, cost over £8 so I've got almost £2 to spare!HillStreetBlues said:Nor me,
Mine will be put to good use, 1 lemon drizzle cake, 10 mini choc rolls, 1 iced fruit cake & 5 jam doughnuts. The bit of change left over I'll properly waste.

Got mine today. As my wife said, for two people ten quid would *easily* put a Christmas dinner together. So we will make a point that that tenner makes us a good dinner! 👍0

cba to chase over £10Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

My daughter had hers on the 12th and it said DWP PIP next to it. Those that claim Carers Allowance should receive it in with that, as that's how i usually receive mine so it's easier to miss.
