    Sorry missed you two there...I always know when the 0% run out....I'd just forgotten that I'd only transferred part of the balance away from Virgin at the end...then I got offered another 0% deal straight away from them.I was moving a few balances at the time.But it's def a good idea for people to write them down.It was only a couple of thousand attracting interest so if the A+L plan doesn't work I'll work on that card first..but won't know for a week or so I guess.


    Shaun are you giving them a blasting now?

    Oh sorry Taxi I wasn't referring to what happened with the Virgin card (easily done and a mistake we don't make tiwce) I was referring to you wondering which debt to tackle first, I thought popping the dates next to each balance on your first post might focus you on what you want to pay first? Should have made myself more clear.

    Think what I need to do is wait for A+L s deciscion..then make my mind up....unless I have a brain wave first.(that's not very likely...lol)
