    morning taxi
    good spot on the cc charges
    50p a day is not so bad,,,
    just shows how handy the floating cash can come in.

    can i ask was the original idea,to put the boiler on the 0% card and pay of each month???
    can you not transfer that payment back to the floating fund,,,or do you need the 1000 each month

    Wow, £2 is a lot better than £40.... lovely to have a nice new boiler for the winter.

    I agree that BB seems to be a lot more reliable than KJ - I'm still eligible for the free games, so I must remember to enter, but I'll be interested to see how they deal with hypno's win of yesterday or the day before.

    Thanks all..the thing with the baby is they live in Scotland and also I very rarely see him.He didn't even phone me to tell me.I heard 3rd hand!!!..he phoned somebody who phoned my other son who phoned me..how sad is that!!!
    Glad the baby is ok though....that son only phones when he's after money and no other time...it's upsetting but what can I do?
    Shaun...the original plan was to put it on DHs Halifax 0% CC and then tranfer the £1400 tax rebate to it and pay the other £600 off ASAP...I cannot use it to tranfer cash into my account so that wouldn't have worked...MBNA cards are good for that.
    The £1k I just use to fund the Halifax rewards accounts each month by just transferring it in and out but then usually leave it sat in mine unless I need it...so that I'm not looking for it each month....so now need to find £500 for halifax reg saver before 1st december and £1k any time during december to get jans 2x£5 rewards...already earnt decembers ones as it has already been through both accounts this month.
    Hypno sorry to hear that your payment has been reversed..it's all very strange!!!.....think I'll be giving it a miss on there as it's getting complicated.

    That's a shame you don't see your son, but perhaps in time his attitude will change. Lovely news about the baby anyway, long life and health to her!
