    It's an HSBC OD so I think I just get charged a % of interest. Last month I got charged something like 32p so I'm thinking just to go for it. The CCs 0% interest BUT I've got a £3.5k Virgin on the ridiculous card balance I need to BT somewhere and Barclaycard are doing a low LOTB on transfers - tempted! I'm being chargd 34.9% interest in my Virgin CC so is it worth doing (any ANY of that makes sense!)? :rotfl::rotfl:




    Cant find the original post so not sure if this will help. When i did BT i used OD facility to clear credit card balance that you are transferring to so it is at 0. Otherwise if you BT to a card with a balance already on it you will be stung. Then used the balance transfer to pay back the OD and whatever other balance i was wanting to transfer....Hope that makes some sort of sense. Reminds me to sort out my BT but i want to know ive got absolute 0 before i do...no sneaky last months interest being added on.
    Thanks Paul! :D I don't think I can do much until pay day at least and I shouldn't be too bad but I'm tempted to do it and then I'll save on the big 34.9% APR from Virgin on the ridiculous. Just seems to make sense but that may well be the beer consumption from the weekend talking! :rotfl:

    Hope the car boot sale went well for you? :D

    I would post this up on the CC forum and see what they say. Just ignore the trolls or call rent-a-mob over if they pop up. :cool:

    Sounds like a good plan to me - any you can move off the Virgin elsewhere has to be a bonus as that interest rate is Huuuuge isn't it? Crikey - at least !!!!!! Turpin wore a flipping mask :rotfl::rotfl:Maybe have a crunch around with your spreadsheets. I'm too new to pretend to understand all these APRs!
    Ta for the heads up Andy! I know, crazy interests rates with Virgin on the ridiculous but no matter how many times I call and ask, they will not reduce hence why I want the BT somewhere to cut that. Going to go for it pay day time methinks as I ain't going to spend crazy money on hair colour this month so may be OK! :D

    Did you have a nice weekend in the park? I'm looking forward to heading down to S(L)utton again in two weeks and then travel into London for a giiiiig and to check out Greenwich Park again and that lovely pub I got drunk in... Do you know the Trafalgar on the banks of the Thames? A pub I couldn't stop talking and laughing about was the Gypsy Moth - it had hundreds of pirates hanging about outside!?? It wans't just the beer honest! :rotfl:

    Hiya

    Normal £10 to my holiday fund for me.

    Andy - hope stopping the ciggies goes well tomorrow. Two girls in our office gave up in January and have been great in stopping. I think a spending spree at the end of June would be a fantastic incentive to get you thorugh those first few weeks.

    Angelic - the pics of your kiddies are lovely, they are both so adorable.

    Terri - well done on losing 8lbs that is fantastic :T

    Hugs to anyone who needs them and congrats to everyone who has paid of a debt.

    Sounds like lots of people have been enjoying this beautiful weather. Speak soon.

    Maisie x

    thanks for the pics, and just wanted to say your children are gorgeous.they look soooooo cute. yes i'm broody. i have to say i'm one of those that loves babies, at the baby stage. i know toddlers are entertaining, but theres something about holding a baby and cooing away.

    My friend has a 4 month old and 17 month old, so cute. hard work but adorable.
