    Well done for all the hard work guys:T

    I have transferred £200 again. My sig has been updated and i am pleased with how well it is all going so far.

    I wonder how much i would have managed to pay off had i not found MSE and all of these challenges.

    Fantastic motivation :j

    Grrrrrr.... my payment to capital one is going in a day late because of the Easter Holiday - forgot it was on when I set it up. DAmmit. Have just had longand tortuous conversation with someone in India about it, they will refund half the charge. Grrrrrrr. Luckily it doesn't affect my 0% deal...

    Which reminds me, now the Barclaycard is paid off (in the nick of time, before the 0% ended) I'm now going hell for leather on Capital one, which finishes on August 27. That gives me four months to pay off £2581, which means 645 a month... eeek. That's some serious extra work needed...

    They are very torturous in the Capital One India call centre - I called up to report a fraudulant transaction and they refused to accept it as fraudulant - marked it as disputed :mad: - glad they'll refund part of the charge.

    I'm working on the cashback sites and match betting - so hopefully will have so physical cash to show for it soon (almost £100 already). :j

    Match betting... hmmm. I'd love to do it but I've read the thing twice and I still don't feel confident enough to see how it works long term. So would love to know how you get on!
  • :wave::wave:Hiya one & all, haven't been on for AGES, £100.71 off another cc today. Cards have taken an absolute hammering recently, due to moving business premises, still all going on at the mo'. Upshot is that next few months will see a sharp rise in debt :sad: :sad: BUT...... should mean a big increase in takings, so, hopefully the tots will be able to come down sharply. That is what I tell OH anyway, he just gives me a look........the kind of look that says, "tell it to the fairies". Still I have to have faith in myself. Everyone we have told has said it's a brill move, so we shall see. Please keep everything crossed for me for the next couple of months!!

    Love Suzi xxxxxx:cheesy: :cheesy:
