I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

I have doubled the total number of credit cards I hold since trying to become debt free! From 2, to 4 - to take advantage of 0% deals
I've never had a store card, thankfully. I'm just waiting for my most recent payments to clear on 2 of them now, and then I'll close them, bringing me back down to 2 :j
Even with just the 2 original cards though, my potential credit was unbelievable - they just kept upping the limits. Thankfully, I never maxed them out totally, and (when I remembered) got them to reduce the limit as soon as they put it up. Things could have been a LOT worse than they ended up being *shudders at the thought*Highest Debt (Sept 04) -> £41,300Debt Free - August 2006!!

I've never had a credit card in my life
Mind you, the only debt I had ever run up in my own name was on my 0% overdraft.
My DH on the other hand... had three, I think. But whilst it was his responsibility, I know I benefited from the money he borrowed on them. So I'm not blame-less.I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair

I am one of those that has more CC now i am trying to get debt free because i am transfering some of the balances over to 0% ones. So i have four.
However the balance on one of them is now cleared and it is getting the chop.
So i have three which are still active (though not used)
And one about to pass over to the other side, may it rest in pieces:cool:Success means having to worry about every thing in the world......EXCEPT MONEY. Johnny Cash

i knew a guy who had 35 creditors (credit cards and loans) totalling over £155k !!!!- pretty much every card you could think of (both visa and mastercard with many of the bigger card companies)
Beat that!0 -
