    Good evening ladies & jellyspoons :cool:

    I have pages & pages to read to catch up but had to share this now. Have got a new credit card (I know, sounds not like a good act for a DFW but bear with me); Abbey, my bank, offered me a guaranteed card when I went into the branch the other week. As my only card is a Capital One repairing credit type card I said yes as the % rate etc is a whole load better even though I don't plan on regular usage.

    Well the letter confirming it turned up today & they've given me a credit limit of £6500!!! :eek:

    I only have £100 on Capital One! Have had to pour a glass of wine as I'm stunned but also so so amused :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hope all is well

    ps.I was AF yesterday & an NSD too :)
