Coming up on Digit.

0:01.1

I've always been a hopeless romantic, to be honest with you, because I read so much, freaking Jane Austen. I'm like, oh, life's so romantic. Actually, life can be shit. The best romantic gestures Steve can do these days is put the bins out. When he does that, I am sold. The next day in assembly, they were like, we've had somebody doing some damage to some school property. Who was it that wrote this? And I had to put my hand up and go, it was me. Oh, for God's sake. For some reason, I keep thinking of Olivia Newton-John and physical. Obviously, that was not, didn't wake up any sexual urges in me. It's all right. Olivia and Newton-John kind of awaken your sexual ur. On one of inspection, I realised that they were cooked trout's eyes.

Oh my God.

We talk a lot on this show about how a great garden starts with a bit of a plan and the right environment.

1:05.9

Well, money is the same. It's not just about what you have. It's about being intentional with it.

1:12.1

How we choose to spend, save and plan. That's not just about what you have. It's about being intentional with it. How we choose to spend,

1:17.9

save and plan. That's what really shapes the way we live. That is so true. Being good with money isn't about being perfect. It's about building a relationship with your finances that actually

1:22.5

works for you and your life. And that's what Starling is all about. They believe that with the right

1:26.8

tools, anyone can grow those healthy habits. One habit's what Starling is all about. They believe that with the right tools,

1:32.6

anyone can grow those healthy habits. One habit I found so helpful is separating your spending.

1:38.0

It's that peace of mind of knowing exactly what's for the bills, what's for the fun stuff,

1:41.8

and what's actually left over. And that's the tool that Starling offers in their app. They call it spaces. It's basically a a pot of money sitting within your Starling current accounts kept separate from your main balance,

1:47.9

so you're never dipping into the wrong pot by accident. I desperately need one for the garden.

1:52.1

Anyone who knows me knows my plant budget can get, well, a little out of hand.

1:56.7

Exactly. And you can even create free virtual debit cards linked to each space. So you can only ever spend what you've planned to making life that little bit easier.

2:13.9

Hello, Joe. How are you, darling? I'm good. Have you recovered from your very busy weekend?

2:20.3

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not hurting. The pain is subsiding, thank God. The worst, when you do those runs, the funniest thing. And I think you see it after any kind of run, part run, half marathons, marathons. People trying to go downstairs because you're, like, the bit behind

2:34.8

Jeannie, I think it's the IT band. It's so painful. So that, that's easing up. I can get out of chairs more easily now. So, yeah, it's all good. It's all fine. I've got birthday. Birthdays galore going on at the moment. So India. I know. And Cass. April is a really busy time for birthdays.
