    Evening everyone.

    Have been loitering a while as i was hoping someone would weigh in before me as i'm not too sure of the form. Anyhows last week i was 11'9 and tonight i am ..... 11'9 :o. So much for being good have stuffed my face with salad all week at work much to the amusement of my colleagues, no chocolate and worst of all no glasses of vino in the evening:mad:. I know i should look on the positive(!) side and think that i haven't gained but i really did expect to lose a pound or two. Good luck to everyone else and i will hopefully do better next week. x

    Hi folks

    Well rejigged my finances today as I had a card whose 0% Apr was coming to an end at the end of the month. So phoned up the card I cleared in Feb and they offered me a LOB of 0.66% APR and doubled my credit limit as I was such a good customer lol I thought they would be cheesed off my PAD but must be missing the interest more lol. So balance transferred two cards one of which was about to hit 24% APR.

    Also had a credit card cheque come through for a LOB at 6.5% so used that one to clear some of my overdraft as its the next highest rate at 15.9%. Now 90% of my debt is on cards with LOB of below 2% or on 0% until the end of Dec 2009. Once Asda la Vista is cleared I will hit my overdraft. Phew a hard half hours work, my head was buzzing with all the figures by the end of it lol :D

    As a result PAD is £188 to Asda la Vista. £183 of that is the money I had saved for my car insurance but as I had paid that on one of the CC I transferred, instead of paying that off at 0.66% I paid it to Asda which is about 22.32%. So now only £138 to pay off that one which I am hoping to clear by the end of this month.

    Phew sorry that was all a bit of a ramble.:o

    Other new is 2lb off for my first weigh in today :j well done Purpleclutterbuck on your 2lb loss. Boysma - could be that you have retained fluid for some reason this week and you will get a loss next week.

    Angelic - congrats on getting money from the child tax credits - definately worth a wee splurge.

    Hope you all had a good Thursday.

    Grrr have just found some cheapo flights to Dublin for bank holiday weekend and got all excited ready to book... forgot that bloody ryanair have that stupid card charge! I don't know anyone with a Visa Electron card either so can't get around it.
    I know the flights were only cheap, but somehow I think I resent paying £20 extra more on something that should be so cheap. The difference between 35 quid and 55quid seems a much bigger difference than say, 135 and 155 quid! I don't think I'd be so bothered on something more expensive!!
