    Well I did tell her before the day that I wasn't getting it, so it wasn't a suprise really (although I think she was still secretly hoping). She produced the DS with lots of games, and all was fine on the day. A couple of days later I was at my mums and studying, got to my phone to find several messgaes, a missed call and the last text stating that now I had my DS I was ignoring her, at which I promptly got in the car, drove round gave it back and told her to trade it in for the x box and dumped her. A bit harsh but seriously, she knew I was studying, I had an exam today!

    Think I may have saved myself from future trouble come valentines day!

    Student Loan came in today, and I have £780 to go off the first credit card tomorrow! I called the rates departments on both cards and MBNA have offered me a BT rate of 3.9% till July. I am very tempted as I will have finished uni then so can pay the lot off it it still exists. Trouble is 2.5% to BT in the first place plus the rest of the balance already on the card attracts a rate of about 30% or something similarly silly. I am thinking I will probably have the lot paid off by then if I just leave it, however the MBNA is slightly easier to pay in cash (I get paid cash). Hmm, I will have to think.

    Justruth - sounds like you've had fun. I think you've probably had a narrow escape. I hope the exam went ok xx
  • How do you think your exam went? will keep fingers crossed for you

    As for the Ex - she may realise how silly she was being but if not well rid - it was a partner like that, that got me into the state i'm in

    ooh you've closed the gap loads with that £780 well done! the race is back on!

    Indeed I have paid in the £780 today I will now change my signature!!!

    On the NSD's I was going to have today be a NSD but then got up late and had to grab some lunch at uni (doh) I know it's all of £3 but that could have caught me up all the more! Did sneak a free cup of tea out the bank when I went to pay the CC though lol!

    As for the exam yesterday, URGH.... I knew I wouldn't do well as te sheer volume of information I had to learn was too much so I have to do better in June!
