It looks like they are getting rid of them altogether.

Stopped carrying one. Have my debit card and credit cards saved on Google Pay for daily use.
Will very occasionally pick up my actual wallet if I know I am going to need coins to pay for parking or something or think I am going to a stone age store which doesn't take contactless.
I loathe cash0 -
I'm the opposite, I love cash, and is what i'll use from choice for any purchase under £100.
So in my purse is the following:
£100 in cash.
2 bank cards - A Lloyds debit card and a Nationwide credit card.
My own personal business cards x 4.
A garden centre rewards card.
A Tesco rewards card.
My driving license...… and that's it !0 -
No wallet

I called the bank this morning and they have recalled a direct debit for me. They said this will be in my account by 8.30am tomorrow. They couldn’t advise me if it would be any sooner. Does anyone know if this could be back in my account today or is it the next working day. Sorry if I am posting on the wrong post but new here and unsure where to post0
