    Thank you - I am enjoying keeping an eye on my finances now ;) I want an improved credit file so I can get a loan for a car in a year or so's time and a mortgage in a few years :) I should be getting lots of green 0's from my accounts by that time :j

    hi people
    youre not going to believe this.
    last night i was mooching about on the internet,like you do.i was on the fylbe page.
    anyway i had to go for a bathroom break.when i got back,my cat had walked across my key board and hit the apply button.if that wasnt bad enough my google t bar auto filled the app.the the bloody cat confirmed it.
    it just dont believe it.it wasnt me,honest.i dont think that counts as me falling of the wagon,does it innocent?
    i wonder if i explain to sygma ,will they remove my search.?
