    :j :j :j Well done on sorting out the 0% deal, that will save you lots in interest even on the low LOB cards, it all helps.:j :j

    Thanks guys, I'm still chuffed with the 0% deal, it's almost as if I'm stoozing, which is what financially savvy people do :D
    'cept that it's cost loads in interest to get this far, and on the way home from my sisters there's a little voice saying to me.

    "why don't you ease off the pressure a bit and go shopping.....a CD or two won't hurt" :o

    "you could get a man in to do the garden, you're saving that in interest alone" :o

    I could spend the saving seven times over, justifying it each time. How do you think we got into this mess?????;) Not sure how to stop myself, except keep posting here. :D So feel free to nag me.

    And I got entirely lost on the way to my MS, wasted an hour looking for the place and had to abandon it after loads of driving (all that fuel _pale_ ). The irony was that I was pretending to buy a GPS system (TomTom?) :rotfl:
