    woohooo thanks guys :D

    I have started on CS's (so many it was a challenge I just had to start on at least!) Foundthe best kept pregnancy secrets thread, remember that from yonks ago. Found it not lon after DH died and feel about nodding and laughing to so many posts. It was the first time I had laughed and laughed out loud since DH died, so thanks to CS for making me find it again! :D

    JillD - can you wear those swimming socks that're like latex gloves for feet? Maybe using cream/lotion/honey? at the same time, doubling the benefit?
    LikkleGibbon - got 3 of yours, can't find others?

    Must get off bum and go do the washing up, someone want to come over and kick me into action?

    Reya, I set up mine as DD as I got sick of payments being stated as late, I know improvements were being made to the time it takes for payments to go out **edit AnW'sMum resident expert explained that better!

    OMG clever AND expert in one night, this is too much!!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    But you have prompted me to add a recommendation to all. Set up a DD for minimum payment on any CC or store card. That way all you have to do is make sure you have finds to meet min payment each month to avoid any late charges. Then if you want to pay more (would always suggest this as well ;) ) then you can set up additional payments over and above the minimum.
