Dear Bank

 Good morning. It was a lovely sunrise early this morning, red sky behind the trees, and within the time it took me to visit the bathroom it had deteriorated to grey and drizzly, now it's raining. Such crazy weather, makes me think someone is messing around up there in the sky. 

My bank has thoughtfully sent me a text. 

HI ILONA, You can now enable contactless payments on your new debit card. Select your card in the app, then 'card limits and controls', to amend these settings. 

My current card runs out at the end of November. 

Dear Bank. I cannot select your app. I do not want a contactless card, so don't send one. I will continue to withdraw cash at the Post Office, and use that cash for all of my purchases. What I spend my money on is none of your business. You don't need to track what I buy, how much I spend, and when I buy it. 

All this is to reel me in to change my banking arrangements into digital online banking. No thanks. Continue to send me a paper monthly statement in the post. I am the customer. If my banking arrangements are not acceptable to you, I will move my account elsewhere. 

Yours stubbornly, 

Off to Coffee Morning now. Catch ya later, more photo's of my Skipton walk coming up.
