    Thank you for the thread, will look over that after I've made dinner from the storecupboard. Me thinks that a veg curry sounds nice.
    Not an expert, but I try and contribute and I'll always listen. Middle child of middle child parents. I drink way too much coffee.

    Ta SM - I know looking frantically to see if i can sort something - but if I can't at the moment - maybe I can later?

    - already taken an interest free loan from a pal when my egg card offered about 1k off the balance.

    BUT as the interest is frozen on this one right now am I better to pay off my higher interest loan quicker then concentrate on the 0% stuff??

    Sorry so many questions - this stuff hurts my head more than willow.

    If you have no way of shuffling then yes concentrate on the higher interest rates first. No benefit in paying the frozen interest ones first other than clearing the debt - better to clear the ones that are costing you more money:D
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.






  • Thank you - you are like a fairy godmother - RBS loan it is then - i kinda thought that - but its nice to hear someone say it outloud.
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:

  • Nothing for me today - it was an expensive one. Was nearly £6 to park at the hospital while getting a minor procedure done;
    Bought a HobNob flapjack in their shop because I felt I deserved it (and I never EVER eat biscuits - the word 'flapjack' convinced me it was healthy!);
    Have looked at some Comps, but not really anything I fancy winning from the most recent list;
    Nothing on Pigsback in the way of rewards......................................slim pickings all round today.

    But, my Nokia N95 8GB got damaged and is beyond repair and I've got insurance!!! Woo hoooooo!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
