Sorry mate but that is well funny! You couldn't find any headphones so you bought a McDonalds! You should have bought a happy meal. At least you would have got a toy to play with! :rotfl:

Phoned MBNA today to see if they could extend my promotional rate which was 1.9% for 6 months, the best the person on the phone said she could do for me is 12.9%
Tried for other cards today but got turned down for Halifax 0% and Capital one 0% as wellnot having a good day today

I would hold back from applying for any more.
Could Egg do a balance transfer for you?
When I was at the start of my debt journey, I couldnt get a 0% card so had to pay off each debt one by one, and the interest was crippling on my store card, barclaycard & lloyds tsb card.
Sorry hun!! (((((((hugs))))))

Think im going to have to divert my attention away from overpaying my loan and start smashing huge chunks off me credit cards now i think thats really the only way forward becuase i think the minimum payment for the MBNA card is going to be around £60-80 a month.
Hopefully once i get my money off my mum and my brother i will be able to get my Egg card down to a reasonable amount as well. But im not holding my breathe over that at the moment......Savings Total so far for 2023: £8,062.580 -
