I always like to see branding at work. £30 RRP for a cap, I get really nice caps for under £3 each. Have 4 for about £11 now. Shame an embroidering machine sets back pretty serious wedge but still you can do 100 an hour like that.

Black and white speckled space grey is on trend though. I want to get a hoodie like that. Got a polo in fat face the other day for just a little more than trade cost would be.

Luckily we get handbags to pile our crap into. strawberry float my back

There are a few for Android.

Stocard
Cards
Google Pay.

There are others as well but these are the ones that actually work well.

I presume you can get similar for iOS.

I know the feeling Bunni, my purse is full of loyalty cards that I hardly use... I've got about 20 in my purse that I carry all the time when I occasionally go out.

I don't think some of them are apps you can get at the minute, if they did I don't think my phone would have enough memory for them all!

If it helps, I have no loyalty cards and somehow manage to drag myself through each day and come out at the other end.

Raiders New Era cap from Amazon. Dunno why but it was only £9 brand new when they're usually about £30.



Slim wallet from eBay. £12 brand new when they're £25 everywhere else. Has a money clip on the back and a pocket on the side.

Did you deliberately match your hat to your wallet?

I cut the barcodes out of all my loyalty cards and superglued them to a business card, so I've managed to get six loyalty cards into one slot of my wallet.

I quite like the idea of a money clip for when I go out, although it probably works better in America where their coins are worth buttons and all their even slightly useful currency is in paper form. A better idea is probably a separate super slim wallet and just transferring my bank cards into it.

the lighting makes them both look the same colour but the hat is as it looks there and the wallet is more dark blue denim.

I made nearly £100 in nectar/clubcard points this year. I save my cafe Nero/Greggs stamp cards and give them to homeless people when they’re full. They’re worth keeping if you use them often enough. (Also have £120 in my top cashback account from booking my holiday/wedding last year but that’s a separate gloat)

Most of the apps only combine a few of the cards, so half of my purse space.

I must have the shitest cashback credit card in history, it's the nationwide one and only gives you cashback at the weirdest niche stores I'm never going to shop at.

That's a good idea on what to do with stamp cards though. My only issue with doing that is that there are no homeless people where I live. Or no obvious ones at least. I've only seen one guy in the last 5 years and I rang Crisis to let them know where he was, never saw him again though.

Where do you live without any homeless people? even my nearby town has a couple of them.

Surrey; specifically Reigate. I presume it's easier for the local authority to re-home people than put up with the rich people moaning about having to actually acknowledge the existence of people without homes.

There's a guy that I talk to that was homeless when I was younger but they managed to get him permanent accomodation 10 years ago or so.

I'm sure it's all for the greater good.

The greater good.

Judge Judy and executioner

Probably tucked that guy away with all the crusty jugglers.

Space Grey Magic Trackpad and Magic Keyboard with numberpad



Logitech speakers, MacBook metal stand and new powerline adapters with Wi-Fi.



Samsunch 24inch 1440p monitor with USB Type-C for easy connection to my MacBook.

Did you deliberately match your hat to your trackpad?

I don't know how (or even why) anyone uses those magic trackpads, in a desktop environment surely a mouse is far, far more useful.
