Yes it does, thanks - its the old switcheroo!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Well step 1 of the switcheroo has started I have made the first payment to MBNA have to do it in two parts because of the transfer limits.

As an aside I rang M&S the last card on my BT option list just in case they would give me longer than 9 months at 0% the faster payment I sent on Saturday finally credited today . No offers on my account but it is reviewed every 6 months. I quite firmly but quietly said that I thought that as I had had a M&S card ever since they started and always operated my account properly that I thought it was strange that I had never received an offer and perhaps they were taking my custom for granted he repeated the 6 month review and I repeated my case and then he said he would put a note on my account and I should wait and see what came in the post. We will see I don't really want to close the account as this is my normal monthly spend card and I get vouchers which I use for Christmas presents but they don't have to know that:rolleyes:. Good job MBNA came through thoughI wouldn't have time to wait and see with regard to M&S I would have to be applying for new cards.

As I have another card finishing 0% in Jan I am going to add that on to the MBNA cheque keep the cash in my savings account until Jan and then pay that one off. I can't face looking for more cards again in Jan the last few days have been stressful.

The next card to finish is Mint which I think finishes in May but I am locked out of my online account at the moment so I will have to check that. So that will be the target card for any extra money - they were very kind to me 0% for 12 months no fee nearly fell off my chair doubt if they will offer that again

Otherwise on the debt front won £5 on BB this morning and £5 on KJ missed the latter win because I was still on the phone to M&S at the time glad I managed to buy the cards though. Nothing exciting on the sratchcards.

PS I hate rollercoasters and this getting a 0% card feels like the one I went on once just to please the children and I was terrified even though it was only a tame one and because it was quiet in the park they let us go round three times instead of once I couldn't believe it I wanted to beg them to let me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PPS Forgot to say boiler broke again last night different problem this time so my very nice man is coming this afternoon but it is bloomin cold here

Karmacat

You poor thing! Sorry its so stressful - I did it for a little while, endedd up with about half a dozen cards, but that was only for £2.5k. Shame its so cold up by you as well - I confess, I've got all the windows open to air the house, and as I'm only sitting at the computer fiddling about with receipts, it must be pretty warm round here

Thanks DT, I will keep looking out for free games, not having much luck spotting them tonight :rolleyes:

Brrr! Hope you get the boiler fixed soon DT - we need to get ours serviced, thanks for the reminder

Ooops sorry just saw this, came back to let you know that I have had a lovely email from C1ndy to say they will allow me to cashin my sub-£20 balance if I send an email to another address. So I have sent that request off and will report back!

Thanks for the advice, I will still be down about a tenner on KJP but I will borrow your logic and think actually, the money I put in came from BB so not really mine and I am still in profit from BB so still ok in the big scheme of things

I hope your boiler is sorted, its really starting to get nippy now.

Been busy over the last few days with our foster child and meetings etc.

Won £7.50 on BB this morning and won £5 a couple of days ago so I think that makes me just over £30 up not as much as some but not to be sniffed at.

KJ is over no more free games unless you wager £250 in a week :eek: good whilst it lasted I suspect my last withdrawal will probably be reversed as well but all in all I can't complain.

Need to sort out final payment to MBNA but I have an assignment to finish which needs to be done by tomorrow and I have a meeting tonight.

Just done and submitted a mystery shop I haven't done one for a while but as this was for my bank branch and I needed to go there anyway it would have been silly not to. Also picked up a telephone mystery shop for the beginning of Dec. Have given MS a bit of a rest recently fed up with burgers but if free bingo is drying up might have to do a bit more but no more burgers there is a limit:rolleyes:

Right as soon as OH gets back need to go in office and put this assignment to rest. Just heard I have another all day course on Monday and I have one tomorrow as well, that one will result in another assignment to do - I must be mad - no don't answer that :rotfl:

I've just had an email from KJP to say that my last withdrawal is going through ok, so you may be lucky yet. I did the cashin on Friday evening....fingers crossed for you.

I too am going to have to find another way of getting the money - mystery shopping has more or less dried up anyway......so back to dooyoo for me!
