    If Barclays come through with this credit card and everything turns out ok, I'm going to pay off the £200 on my Vanquis card and cancel it.

    I don't have need for 3 sub-prime credit cards, and Vanquis offers the least features, no online access etc. I think I'll just stick with Aqua and BarclayCard and eventually get round to closing the AquaCard one I feel I don't need it anymore.

    I've only had Aqua and Vanquis for 3 months, but they both seem to have helped dramatically in that time.

    Hi Fairmon.

    I take it you haven't heard anything from Welcome because you have been away working.

    How is the baby?

    Don't close your Vanquis yet, leave it open for 12 months!

    You have definitely got a Barclaycard then? Did you ring them back again?

    Looks like it. They said they're sending out a credit agreement. :)

    Nope. They told me it will be decided once I return the Credit Agreement...
    I'm off to bed anyway. Night.
