    Morning all.

    MM on the subject of applying for credit cards affecting your credit rating etc, I think I read somewhere that every time you do the go compare insurance quotes, it will show up on your credit rating too. Apparently too much on your credit rating doesn;t make it look good ( I think it was you who was doing the go compares, sorry if it wasn't)

    What's everyone up to today? I'm planning on staying in and having another nsd and chilling and writing lots. Hoping Prison Break will be delivered today too

    I am not debt free yet, the moneys not gone out my account :cry:

    Hoping it might go out later today though, and Paddy Power hasn't tracked either for me yet! At least i won my money back on that one though.

    I have to go to hell, i mean work today, nearly told my boss to F Off yesterday for 2nd time since i have been working on my own but hes at a meeting today so i might be busier but at least hes not there!
    Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month

    Ohh lilmiss-hope it goes out later-wanted you to be df today :-(
    Yukki-yes it was me doing go compare-not sure about that -why would it be on your credit record when your not applying for credit? well, i dont understand credit ratings anyway so i expect it is..not planning on applying for credit anytime in the next ten years anyway so not bovvered lmao
    Had £20 recieved by quidco and virgin bingo and the creditcard have been tracked on cbk-dont expect the card to be accepted though,but if it is i'll have £60 in there (or £40 if not)
    10p and 20p on scratchcards. might do some daily clicks on cbk later, got to go food shopping ...urghh i hate food shopping

    Re: Insurance quotes etc. I think they are recorded on your report, but you are the only one who can see them. I think the only ones that get recorded so that creditors can see them are things for credit cards, loans etc. So credit, not insurance.

    I hate food shopping too MM, thats why I do it online!

    Oh god my desk is drowning in paperwork today... i hate it. :cry:

    I *think* thats what i remember reading somewhere... dont quote me on it though! :p

    Right, think i have waded through the majority of work... and its only 10.30. I thought it was later.

    I am going to do my online shop today/tomorrow, and get it delivered next Tuesday. Its the day after i come back from Alton Towers so will probably want nice food and I can get it during the day. :D

    In fact I might attempt to do it at lunchtime.
