Because I’d imagine if he took out £20 to spend on a dancing quartet of penguins, that transaction would be categorised as entertainment. That’s how I do it anyway.
That’s nearly 4 a day!

Probably all that entertainment you’ve been having at the cash machine

Ironically for me McDonalds is where i eat the most even though I never eat there as I have Coeliac Disease, guess i should stop buying Happy Meals for the kids
It was cash for the Chinese, they don’t take cards

I know! At least in the Before Times, I could attribute at least 3 a day to… Tube / Coffee / Lunch.
Don’t know how I managed that over 9 months.
Though I wonder if all transactions - pot movements etc too - are included in that.

Nothing else open so have to go there to press the buttons for my entertainment
I think it was for the cinema. Back in the olde days when cinema was a thing

I wonder why cinemas haven’t adapted to do online screenings yet

I reckon because they haven’t worked out how to charge you £8 for you to eat a tiny bowl of popcorn yet.

If cinemas did this I’d start an ice-cream van style business that drove round areas in the evening and sold reasonably priced fresh popcorn, nachos and snacks. For those staying in to watch a film.

Do you not get ill from the cross contamination in the fryers?
Are other Plus/Premium users seeing their pie chart as being disproportionately weighted to general? Just gone through my monthly summaries and not once did I spend more in the general category than the shopping category, yet the summary claims more then half of my purchases were in general…
My initial assumption was that it just ignored custom categories, but four have appeared there (the gradient ones at the top)
I ate out 34 times, more than I realised to be honest.
Entertainment was from zoom apparently, zoom is expensive it’s not that I don’t watch Netflix/Prime

Withdraw from ATM, tap the transaction, set category to ‘eating out’.
Then (if you’re me) forget you did that and two years later, withdraw £10 from an ATM in November for a leaving kitty, and wonder today where on earth you ate out.
Time to go back in to Monzo and adjust the category on that withdrawal. Wonder if it’ll also update my year in Monzo (if pulling live data), or if it’ll stay the same (if static once generated).

Plenty of film festivals adapted to online ‘screenings’ last year. Some let you watch the films for free (so I saw a bunch of Taiwanese films, and a few Chinese films), others you had to pay to rent the films, and some were a mixture of the two (annoying when you realise all the interesting ones had to be paid for and it was mostly just shorts that were free).
Curious to see if the same thing happens this year.

Pretty pointless. A film maker is better off going to the likes of Amazon or Netflix who already have this up and running for an easy pay out.
I believe its static
