    I havent cut it up yet :o

    I dont know what to do with it, feels like I should do something creative with it, like make some shackles out of it for when I have to go to merc court ( if it happens!)

    This is a cool thread :)

    I'm still buzzing off passing that interview on Friday. I start a business management and startup course on 5th October, with a grant at the end of it that should really help us fly :)

    Why don't you cut it into the shape of a little Barclaycard man - anatomically correct. Then, once the court thing is settled, you can cut his bits off. :eek:

    Discovered yesterday that OH has been paying card protection insurance on his Mint card - works out about £60 per month!!! - got him to phone and cancel today. Couldn't work out why the min payments were so high! Can't believe they charge so much for payment protection.

    Also got all the stuff that was stolen in our break in last week so don't have to pay insurance excess!
