  • No idea Tia... I know alcohol clears through your milk at about an hour per unit... But no clue on tastes... I suppose you could try having another smoothy at a time when you haven't eaten an entire raw onion and see if that makes a difference...

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    i'd need it for at least 9 months and theres a couple im just comparing the best ones ... the interest is killing me as im barely knocking off anything (well it feels like it) off what i owe due to it x

    My capital one card was like that as well. Because i have a rubbish credit rating the interest was thru the roof on it, i've not got it any more though! Its maybe a good idea then if its going to enable you to pay more off your debt instead of just paying off interest every month. You do right to compare though. Hopefully you can find one thats going to work better for you x

    sorry searching I'm no good for advice on credit cards. I'm a bit afraid of them! We kinda manage to use a cashback one and pay off in full every month, but that's only cos of Martin :money:.

    It does sound good logic to get a lower interest rate tho, and then you'll shift it, but as Luce says, it's maybe as long as you can shift it before it goes up to a scary rate.

    My mate's been offered one at 0% to replace her 8.9% one with a £5000 balance, but in a year it goes up to 17.9%:eek:

    Edit: DH is just bathing fergie, we realised another fortnight had gone past :) oops

    Mel x

    And to you hun :) Well done again on getting your place at uni - you're doing an awesome thing (and I'm in awe of you that you can juggle so much!). Lots of love and luck to you and yours.. Come back with piccies of your lovely boys when you can! xxx


    Caz, well done on your total! Is that everything, or have you got more to do another sale? Does it feel good to have more space or doesn't it feel like it now that you've bought those new clothes? ;)


    Someone tell me to go to bed at a decent hour tonight please.. I feel shattered and I've got a long day ahead of me tomorrow - OH is out the house at 7am and is staying at work for a late dept meeting so probably won't be home until gone 9pm :( Got comms nurse and physio coming over early afternoon, then a friend coming over for a cuppa after they'd gone :)
