Summary
This habit is inspired by comments in the Facebook Group for the show and it's all about how feasible it is to do a spending freeze. Unless it's essential - food, water, rent etc - then the money stays in the account or in the pocket.
According to one report all these cashless transactions we're used to means we're spending way more than we actually intend to, sometimes up to three times more, and those are expenses that can really build up.
So what I'm going to do for two weeks is keep my purse closed and see what I realise I do need to spend money on and what I absolutely don't. It also means I'll have to prepare lunches, coffees and the like because grabbing one when I'm out and about is completely off-limits. Yikes, I'm nervous...

| 0:04.4 | You may have heard in the podcast last week that I took part in a chill test with dentist Anita Sandu. |
| 0:10.6 | This is her area of expertise and she guided me through drinking ice cold water, |
| 0:15.0 | eating a slice of fresh apple and taking a bite out of a trock ice, |
| 0:20.0 | all with the purpose of learning about my teeth sensitivity. Now I knew I had some sensitivity but it was really helpful |
| 0:26.1 | learning from Anita the reasons why, the foods that can cause that sharp feeling of sensitivity, |
| 0:31.1 | and the changes I can make to minimize any discomfort moving forward. |
| 0:35.0 | Since the chill test I've been using Senser Dine Repair and Protect Toothpaste, |
| 0:39.0 | it's clinically proven to provide long lasting protection for sensitive teeth with twice daily brushing, |
| 0:44.2 | and is expertly formulated to generate a protective layer over exposed areas of your teeth |
| 0:48.8 | to help protect you from the pain of sensitive teeth. |

| 1:25.0 | podcast and it's about spending or more precisely I should say not spending. |
| 1:31.0 | So there's been quite a lot of discussion in the Facebook group |
| 1:33.6 | recently about the various habits and I was saying you know is there anything you |
