    Am I crazy? My mother has gone to Spain for two weeks, so it's just me (18) and my brother (20). My brother has just told me he's having 'friends' over on Saturday. I hate his friends, I never get any sleep, they always have music loud and it turns into a full blown party.

    I'm thinking of booking into a travelodge for Saturday night. It's £50... I don't want to stay with friends or family either, so I might just book it. I'm working 3pm till 10pm on Saturday and the travelodge is right next to work, so I can walk out of work at 10pm, straight into a nice comfy room.

    Waste of money much?...

    A Level results tomorrow.
    tbf its not a necessity but i reckon for the benefits gained its worth it.

    just make sure that you get him to do the tidying afterwards

    My fourth CapitalOne statement should be out within the next hour (it comes out on the 19th, but usually comes out around 12-12.30am on the 20th).

    Lets see what they up my limit too, It's at £100 now.

    Edit, it's already out.

    Credit Limit £200.00
    Current Balance £50.00

    Yep, you get the £125 limit as we all do, log out and clear history etc then log back in and if the limit has gone then they have changed their minds. If it reappears then cool....

    Its the way they work, every1 gets £125 to start and when they log out it can disappear (i.e. declined)

    My wshing machine has decided to die this evening, was wondering if anybody had ever tried to apply for credit with currys and if they had been successful or should I just stick to the launderette for the next few months.
