    I want Thomas Cook to keep going as its my main way of escaping this dump for half the year.
  • Sorry Fc I meant Mango the independent coffee shop. Went off to buy a rug in the sales the other day with the promise of cappuccino and cake after and it was all boarded up. Cross, I was.
  • Looking at your signature Id say you want to stop shopping full stop.

    NEVER! Ever thought that's why I'm here?
    I shouldn't really explain myself, but most of my (& DH's) debt is actually from surviving as a student with a mortgage - not spending money on crap on the high street! More like a car, petrol, food, rent ETC!

    But thankyou for the wonderful advice.
    Debt @ LBM 29/12/08 - £49044! Now £44684.
    Fat loss 29/85lbs // £100 into £10k £243.07/£10k
    HSBC Loan 9658 // HSBC CC 3484 // HSBC CC 1464 // DP's 779 // Car 0% 4851 // Halifax OD 1348 // HSBC OD 1.5k // HSBC OD 1k // Barclays OD 400 // IOMOM 4400 // S Loan 15k // Cap1 £800

  • nationwide is about as secure as they get surely, maybe if they got a default rate of 50% they'd freeze up alltogether but they dont use external funding half so much as banks afaik

  • I don't want anyone to go bust, but especially any company in the motor/motor racing industry.
    I've heard rumours about
    John Lewis
    Argos
    Screwfix

    Does this mean I should go out and spend lots of money to save the shops?
