Ours arrived today and I think Helen had hers at the weekend.
I believe they said that they would be delivered by the end of September.

I've never used my debit card to withdraw cash outside the UK. It all used to go on credit cards or be taken in cash.
When American Express did their travellers cheque card we used to use that.

Glad it's arrived Skip, mine is gathering dust in my purse at the moment!

If it doesn't come within a couple of weeks I'd give them a call.

I prefer using a debit card when I'm shopping as I find that if I have £20 in my purse I'll spend it, whereas if I pay by card I only spend the actual amount.
I have my co op electron but only use it for fuel. If we are doing a 'friday big shop' we take out the cash we have to spend so we dont get tempted to oversend!

Discharged today the 8th feb 2012. View is much brighter now.
Continuing to rebuild our credit worthiness.
Funnily enough, I had got used to being without a debit card and mostly stuck to the things on the list. However, if there was anything left at the end of the week I didn't take too much persuading to spend it!

I was the other way round, and card spending was too easy to lose track of.
While in my IVA I found it easier to plan everything weeks (and even months) in advance because I knew how much (or little) cash was available.
My bank account and spending file goes up to December 2021, so I know what is available, and I can easily add in new items.
Another problem I have with card payments is that ticket agencies, travel agents all add extra charges for card payments whereas paying cash has no extra fees.
Having said all of this, I used my new Nationwide card this morning to book tickets for a concert next year.
