    thanks hun thats what I thought, just wanted to make sure before I overpay :)

    I got one because I have no credit history so if and when I need a loan in the future I will have that history behind me. :p

    Is that ok with you?? :rotfl:
    Work like you don't need money,

    Loans are horrible evil things and credit cards are even worse! Think of them as debt cards! ;)

    Oh now THAT was harsh SS! I thought you had great news as usual, and as I care about you, I wanted to feel happy and warm inside that someone I care about has done well. That in itself is enough to cheer me up a bit and lighten my mood :o
