Today is my last day with Monzo, the bank account that lives on your smartphone.

There are several reasons why I’m opting to leave Monzo but one key reason is that I have more Current Accounts than I need. In the process of consolidating them and weighing up the pros and cons of each, Monzo didn’t fare too well. I initiated a Current Account Switch earlier in the month and my account is in its final day of being absorbed into an account with a so-called ‘legacy bank’...

Sometime between the hours of 6pm on September 10th and 7:30am on September 11th, my iMac was stolen from my place of work. It was an unimpressive but effective break-in: a brick through the window, the computer under their arm, and out into the London air.
