Share my good day....

Options
Well - now I am an addicted DFW to this site I thought I would share my good day with you all. Over the last 3 days I have earnt nearly £20 from selling my stuff on Amazon - an idea I got from you lot. I have also been successful in getting my first 2 R&R from Tesco (thanks to the misprices thread). I have been approved in a survey job which will earn me £15 a month (every little helps!!) and I have just got my new capital one credit card with 0% till sept 07 and they have given me enough credit limit to put all my debts on it - so I now have them all on 0% which is really great as I can then pay it all off earlier. So all in all it has been a great....no brilliant day. Thanks to you all for your encouraging and helpful posts..keep them coming and I hope this one helps others to realise there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Keep smiling

    All sounding good! Can I ask how long it took for your Capital 1 card to come after you sent off the signed credit agreement? I'm still waiting for mine and I can't wait to get my balances transferred to a 0% card.
