Came home, post was here. Intelligent Finance have offered me a credit card with 4.95% on balance transfers for life of transfer, which is a hell of a lot better than paying 22.9 to MBNA for my Abbey CC!!!
I know I should really be wanting one with 0% but my credit rating is dreadful and I live in rented accomodation, so I didnt think that was too bad. Or am I wrong? I cant really make sense of the information sometimes!!!!

I think thats a good rate..............my life of balance transfer is 6.9% which I'm happy with as I was finding for some reason I was having trouble balance transferring for 0% all the time. So you have a better rate than me.

Congrats on your shopping trip - sounds like a successful day all round.

60p on New
60p on Diet Coke

(naughty, naughty!!).

I also needed to buy a mascara, carmex (still) and a concealer - but have decided to make do with what I have for now, which will involve cutting open the concealer & trying to scoop out any that's left :0) So potential saving - £20!!!

(although I will need to buy them at some point......)

Managed to save a further £250 this month for my travel fund. Nan kindly "donated" £50, and the rest is car boot/ebay profits & also money from weekly budget that I havent spent...

A bit obsessed me thinks :0(

I hope you all have a good weekend.

Get to leave at 4:30 as I wasnt aloud a lunchbreak (too much work!!).

Ali-OK

Well done CAFCgirl!! I can feel your excitement!! I got some kids books in Woollies sale last weekend - since I have to go to town tomorrow, I might have another nose (armed with full Xmas and birthday list!!)

And 4.95% LOB is very good - go for it!

Having another No Spend day here so far - that's 4 on the trot! Not sure if I have enough milk to get me through to tomorrow, so may do my weekly shop tonight.

ooooooooooooh I do love it when I get a personalised response.
Really makes you feel like someone's listening!

However I am jealous of the 6 day no spend!

CAFCGirl - its only because I am really really skint and have to pay off so much next month and I am dtermined to get my debt paid off. I am literally eating awful cupboard stuff for lunch and tea, and working hugely late so I don't go out.
