    the way cards and banks have been treating people of late you would think that they are all in a worse state that we all hope they are. Just reading about people's flexi loans with Cahoot, boy am i glad that i changed mine to a fixed loan a few years ago, i'd possibly be up the creak now if i hadn't done so.

    They don't do themselves any favours(the banks).I don't know anything about the flexi loans but I'd guess that they've put the interest rates up.

    Wow, Taxi! And again, well done! Now that you've cleared THREE cards, maybe it is time to focus on the healthy you bit for a little while, get that regular and ongoing....

    Spring is sprung for you, and really opening up the possibilities very soon!
