Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

[Koa]

I'm completely creditcardless and intend on going on like that. I even find it freakish that here in the UK they so often pay in the shops with their bank card... I use good old cash. For buying online (which I usually only do for plane tickets) I have a sort of debit card which I recharge, so I put, say 200 euros on it, by my ticks and then put more money whenever it's empty. And I can use it at a cash machine to get cash anyway, so no money wasted.
But I think my UK bank card would work just the same way online, this one I was talking about is my Italian thing, since my Italian cashcard doesn't let me buy online.

Did this make any sense?

It does. For online I just use paypal though.

I use my c/c card to but things online. Mainly on Amazon because they stock things that i cant get over here in Ireland- Like Most Haunted/live dvds. So i was always puting money off the card everyweek to pay these. My problem started when i started using them i shops as well. I could pay €400 of it a month but end up spending €500 so thats where it all built up.... evil pieces of plastic! *takes scissors from Kiz and attacks card* Only problem now is i can still use amazon as it holds your account details.

Thats because your italian card is a cash card and the Uk one is a debit... I need to use my card becaus eif I have cash I end up buying choclate

[Niamh]

C'est bien! Good to see you, have you been reading about all our woes in the land of the plastic card? Evil I says. Evil.

Isn't it totally neat that the word chocolate can crop up at any given time, in any given thread, and by any given person? Hee-hee! Gotta love this main staple, eh?

I remember when I was little, and my brother and I got chocolate bunnies for Easter, he'd not eat the ears (I had to do the dirty task, tsk-tsk), it was very strange, but hey, someone had to do it ....

I had paypal for a short period cos I needed it be paid for a job I did for an Australian company But I closed my account, it freaks me out to think that my money is on the internet

Yeah exactly. I had never heard the word 'debit card' before coming here though, at first I wasn't sure what it was all about...

I use cash most of the time, I find it weird to pay small amounts with a card, in italy we don't do it that much yet...here you see people at the supermarket paying less than one pound with a card, I find it funny.

On another topic, yesterday I had a very girly night with my friends.

Hmm chocolate....

[dramasnot6]

What did you do on your girly night koa?

[kathycf]

I'm tired, who has any coffee?

[kiz_paws]

Before Kathy can say licketty-split, the aroma of fresh Guatamalan Especiale floats through the air.

Is it good?

I'll say! Can't wait for a mug of that stuff.

And since Kathy is member of the week, I have some wonderful chocolate to share with everyone... it is huge slabs of Toblerone, behold my dear friends:



Note that it is a magic chunk of chocolate, whenever someone breaks off a slab, more is produced! And you cannot gain weight with this wonderful stuff, so dig in everyone!
