Today I Am Grateful For.....

I don't use contact less payments either for
That very reason, I realise it's popular but for me it's too risky.

 

Today I'm really grateful for the roof over my head. To be homeless in this must be truly nightmarish and NOBODY in our country should be in that position in 2015.

 

Yes! Along with constantly being grateful to still be alive, this is another thing I am daily grateful for. I was street homeless in my teens for 6 months. Luckily I was always with 2 male friends/"brothers" who looked out as to where we could sleep that night but we were always cold, tired and hungry. So I have enormous compassion for those in this situation today....which seems far more Dickensian than when it occurred to me.

Oh my goodness I didn't know that Shiney , not just my pin that I need to cover, thanks for telling me that I shall be even more careful in future!
I'm a bit ocd when I use cash machines too, I only use the machines inside the bank where possible, I feel that way I'm a bit safer. I know of too many horror stories where people have been distracted & had their card/cash/pin stolen! Terrible that we live in a society where you are always looking over your shoulder!

 

OMG! Thats dreadful Shiney, I'm pleased that you spoke to the manager & head office, well done you. Honestly everything's getting a bit too efficient for my liking, I don't want to get stuck in a time warp but there has to be a limit on all this stuff.
I did a grocery shop a few weeks ago, whist standing in the que I was talking to a middle aged chap, he seemed genuine enough & friendly so why not, anyway to cut a long story short he went to pay for his goods & I noticed he'd passed his smartphone over to the checkout lady, I had to ask what he was doing (stupid me didnt know) he explained that he had an app on his smart phone which contained all his reward cards/bank cards/credit cards etc so he was paying for his groceries using his phone! My mind boggles, for me that's too risky & too clever!

 

So that we don't derail this thread .... I've begun a different one: Are we too trusting of IT?

 

'M' great idea!

 

Today I am grateful for a nice rain,the first we have had for 2/3 weeks.

 

Today I am very grateful that at 54 I am in good health. Very grateful for that.
