    Well Sarah...the most expensive (I think) is the Debenhams one but that's almost gone:D Then I have 2 (both less than £1600) so as one stops being int. free I will chuck money at the dearest first...I have been very good and pay the money when I get paid as opposed to when due (about 2 weeks earlier) so that helps reduce it. Having said that I am VERY good at getting credit...excellent score!
    Trouble is the bathroom refit IS desperate...broken things inc NO SHOWER...

    Hmmmm.... I know what you mean, life does have a nasty habit of getting in the way doesn't it! And it's all well and good knowing the most 'cost effective' way of dealing with things, but.... that's not always the most 'life effective' way of dealing with things is it! :rolleyes:

    What about getting the virgin 0% for 16 months card, cutting it up so you don't actually use the thing, but balance transferring.... that way you'd defer debt repayment while you saved for your bathroom? Or something??? ;)

    i have done nothing all week. in the house not even dailies....... even forgotton to buy my dad a birthday present for tomorrow :( He understands and said aslong as he sees me and sarah thats all that matters but i feel really bad....i havent even made his cards yet :( Oh i just feel pooh..... *shuffles off to mope some more*

    P.S. NO-ONE is allowed to send me hugs etc.... im just wallowing and dont deserve any sympathy... infact feel free to ignore me completely as im sick of coming and boring you all with my moans when you all have much harder lives than me.


    Erm.... since when did we all do as we were told Mrs :D


    Not only am I sending you squishy,breathe catching hugs, I am smiling at you and nudging you and saying, 'come on my friend, it's all ok, you ARE ALLOWED to moan whenever you want to because here, hun, you are amongst friends and if we weren't too far away we'd be round to yours, cooing over Pumpkin (congrats on first tooth btw), passing you cake and putting the kettle on whilst we had a natter.

    So there's nothing that can't be fixed with some support and attention, is there?:kisses3:there's a little kiss, :grouphug: there's a dodgy hug and here's a huge smile for you Johanne :D xxx

    Sssh. My Mum has offered to loan me the bathroom money but I am focussing on the 'setting a good example' as DS is a spendthrift.
    Am thinking about consolidating and transferring though - bad case of CBA at the moment :rotfl:
