    hmm personally i'd pay off the high interest card just to get be able to have one less debt to deal with, and as you say it could give your OH the jolt he needs. or you could pay off half of it this month, see how things are and then the other half the next month that way you would have some extra should you need it.

  • Hi CAFCgirl :) I'd pay off the high interest card and save the rest. The card is there in case of emergencies but you're not paying all that interest. Win-win?

    Thanks All

    After deciding that we would pay it off.... I thought I knew the PIN number but obviously not LOL. So going to write a cheque for it instead and take that in and get it cleared that way...

    Some days everything just seems like such an effort.
    I'm not in work today either as my supervisor needed to change a day so she's doing today for me, so that helps as I'm still not feeling 100%.....

    Other than that not much else to report. OH had his interview for jobseekers today which is now going through for a decision, although they are now telling him he is unlikely to get it because he voluntarily left his previous job. Ignoring the fact that he was practically being bullied!
    He's done 2 applications so far today as well so thats a good start.

    OK now I've told the 3 second most important set of people in my life, figured now was the time to tell the third most imp' lot...

    As some of you might remember my crazy post a couple of pages back, i thought I should come clean.
    Just before we went on holiday OH and I found out that I'm pregnant!!!!

    Its taken quite a while for it to sink in (and thankyou to you know who for their advice) and we're gladly continuing with the pregnancy... so this time next year (well 29th March to be exact!) there will be a little CAFC :)

    So yeah...... thats my latest :)
