Adrien I am not sure quite what is your problem, is it that your Mum put in your pin number for you? If you have the dexterity to put it in yourself, then surely the shops where you make purchases can bring the machine to your level, also there are sides on it to prevent people from looking at your number. I would have hoped that these helper strangers would not be out to take your money. Failing that, wherever you are going on holiday, maybe you can have traveller's cheques or take money out from the post office as and when, though that could be very awkward as one often makes a spontaneous purchase.

Hi I am going on holiday next fortnight, I will be with carers, I will obviously need money and will have to pay for things in shops, I am in a wheelchair and normally get help from mum who goes with me but I will be with strangers, what is the best way to use the chip and pin in shops and banks? MY BANKS cards used to be chip and sign.
