Hi all,
Am in a really good mood today. I got an offer of a 0% transfer from one of my empty credit cards. This means I can transfer a lot of my money from Virgin card over there. It is only 0% until Nov 2009 but if OH gets a job quickly after uni we can clear it by then.
Will still have some money on the Virgin credit card but OH has agreed that any tax back he gets should be used to pay off that card. He nearly lost his life when I told him about the 34.9%.
So am feeling motivated and will try and make some money on AQA later on today. I want that Virgin card at 0 asap!Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

DH is working through his application to re-join the police, may take 3-6 months to process but if he did, the re-increase in his wage will make things so much easier for us...
I feel like I cant push him too much though
im off to get ready to go to work shortly....Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
