I have always paid by credit card as it gives you 30 days+ before the money goes out.
Makes no difference now but it did when interest rates were over 10%.......better in my account than theirs.

Another sausageFish and chips in the Hare & Hounds at Cattistock. Open fire, good beer and a historic building - what more could you want?

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I use my debit card for everything. However I do keep about £400 in cash in the house just in case.

Getting old but not past it
Had a quick 16 miles ride but the chain was skipping every so often. Chain and cassette are both new so must be the cable. Anyway, I came across those two beasts on the Llandudno promenade.

I never keep any money in the house. No need really.

I live in the middle of nowhere. You never know when it might be needed. I might get a visit from the local farmer who sells me firewood. A couple of loads would cost me £200. And if any emergency cones up then I have some. The nearest cash point is 9 miles away so not exactly close by. And people here don't take cards for stuff

Has anyone watched the lakes with Simon Reeve.I found it something of an eye opener.It looks at life of the people who live and work in the Lake District.I used to be a regular visitor to the Lake District As a visitor I saw it through the eyes of a visitor This program looks at life as it is for the people who live in the district The farmers the young people who find it difficult to find work and buy homes Well worth a watch
Sorry, I can't agree. SR seemed to be on a mission to unearth misery imo. Can't stand him at all tbh as he likes to ram his politics down everyone's throat at any opportunity.
I was hoping for better but won't be watching the rest of it.
The Supercar sequence and attendant comments were utterly crass imo.
NB: not a rant at you.

Puzzle game procrastinator!
I have to order my warfarin online every 4 weeks. I tried to do it in the early hours but was told that the GP practice had been 'disconnected' from my account! I have never encountered that before.
Oh, FFS... Thanks for the complete lack of advance warning, Todmorden Group Practice!
If I had known then I would have filled in my request last week, when it was due. I delayed by a week or so to use up some of the stock of spare pills that I had built up.
I will probably be ok, but I was in the health centre yesterday having a blood test and could have handed over a paper request while I was there.

That would have been too easy especially for the patients and we can't have that now can we.
