    Evening all

    Blimey you lot have been busy planning the meet :):) How exciting and weymouth if its a nice day will also be heaving but its fab for the kids...and they have donkey rides, candyfloss and dogynuts!

    Maz think its £4 ish return from here to weymouth but if there are all of us + pap in the car it would probably be cheaper and easier to drive and park.

    Or we could be true DFW and get the bus, only half an hour and about £2. Details nearer the time but I am Sooooooooooooo excited :)

    Dont worry about me Sally I will get the train and meet you there its only £3 :j

    it's mad isn't it Bun. When I had a CCJ, I was only able to get a Vanquis and a Capital One with humungous APR's and small limits, but they still gave me one. The minute the CCJ dropped off, just about everyone said yes (I did all the quidco ones) and I now have a pile of cards in the drawer with about 20k I could rack up. They were all falling over themselves to chuck anything between 1k-4k limits at me.

    It's mad really.

    Which card is it?
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    blimey - this a frighteningly easy way to get money for anyone who is desparate _pale_

    I was on greasypalm reading through the cashbacks and read the reviews on this out of curiosity because they say they don't believe in people being in long term debt and I thought it was a clever marketing tool for a high APR loan - the money is in your account in less than an hour - even in the middle of the night!! Look at the APR _pale_ although at least the charges are clear with the scale thing on the page (small mercies I suppose :rolleyes: )
