I try not to look at my emails while on holiday - it’s rude, and unnecessary, and what you don’t know you can’t do anything about so why bother.
But today I had cause to turn on my phone and cheque that my pension had been deposited - it had.
But I also noticed an email from the main financial institution with which I bank. It told me that it is giving me (and all others who qualify) £100!!
This they do when they say they can afford it after having made substantial profits. Last year we all got £50 so things are looking up.
Okay, it’s not that much but as I read the email in the park under all the sultriness of a hot day in Rennes church bells rang out!
What’ll I do with an unexpected £100? I’ll follow the advice @porwest would give me and invest it so that it’ll make me more money.

£100 is better than nothing.
I wonder if our Bank does this.
Congratulations on your windfall

Always great to get some extra cash.
