    Another one for today please CB. 

    My vinted total is now £101.50 (can't forget the £1.50  :D ). I have also set my kids up with Monzo cards, they have Go Henry cards already but they are costing me £6 a month plus 50p per top up, and Monzo is free..that money might as well go to them for something else. I will wait until their Monzo cards are here and completely set up before I cancel anything.
