Yep - the ever present balance point between security and convenience
(and cost!) :)

About 6 months ago I bought a shredder from CPC for £8.95.
I got it when I realised that I'd just thrown some blank cheques in the
bin!!
They were the ones sent to me by a credit card company so I could
'transfer my balance'.

Everyone has to be more aware of the new identity theft style risks we
face today.

I now shred all stuff that has account numbers and personal details -
it's actually quite therapeutic :)
