I never use a traditional bank card anymore, since getting mine cloned 3 years ago. All spending is via a pre-pay card, it has much better security (like location based) and means at worst I can only lose what is on it already.

Just had another faster 3 mile walk to get my eggs. It's like a summers day here , so making the most of it. Another short walk in a minute with hubby in his lunch break. Tried to get son to walk through Worcester Woods with me this afternoon but he's knackered after work and I daren't go on my own. :( I need a dog.....

It's blazing Sun where I am and a flat calm, so it's very pleasant in the sunken back garden. Rather better than I expected after fighting me way the three miles back from the pub last night through a slight blizzard.

I have the key to the other acceptable pub for tonight, as he won't be there until late. I am tasked with opening up, starting the fire and servicing any patrons who may appear.

Lovely walk over the Chase with the current Mrs p and the pups this morning. Bit chilly in the shade but the sun had some real warmth to it. Felt quite spring like.

"Quite spring like" is because it's the seventh day of spring.
Only to be expected at this time of year !

Google pay is basically using your phone. I never take anything other than my phone nowadays.

Careful. In Tesco the other day the contactless refused to accept my GP transaction. Had to use contactless on a card instead...

A customer in front of me in the old Stafford Pounstretcher couldn't pay once as it wouldn't accept her phone. She had to fork around d in her bag snd luckily found her visa card.

Have just dragged my backside out of the house, went Wilkos for a few bits n bobs, as you do. Got to the only till working - self service was closed. And the girl serving was having a conversation with one of the other assistants on the shop floor. No problem, I would if I worked in retail. Not once did she say hello to me, just kept on about when she went on her holibobs to Benidorm. Her mate then walked over, got her phone out and they started to look at photos! Ignorant cow on the till quickly told me how much my shopping was. I paid and walked out. She didn't even have the manners to say thak you or goodbye.
Then I went over to Sainsburys. All those I saw either said hello or smiled (assistants, not customers) Got to the self serve and the very lovely Vicki asked me how I was, how Great unwashed was etc. All while having a conversation with everyone else on self serve. Totally different.
I love Sainsburys.
