:rotfl: Oh Green that joke is awesome :rotfl: thanks trueIt made me laugh
Hope your finger isn't too painful Piggin and you enjoy your 2 weeks off.
Oh flower am jealous of you with your OH lol wish mine were like thathope you enjoyed it, wherever you went.
Saying that my OH has offered me a loan to pay off my egg and cap1 cards and to pay him what I can afford every month, he thinks the interest they charge is disgusting especially cap1 who charged £80 last month!!! But I'm not sure whether to take it or not, I don't want it to cause problems between us, if say for example I decide to buy new clothes or something, I'm worried he might think I shouldn't have bought that til I'd paid him back. What do you guys think? I know it'd save me about £133 a month in interest.
Pad today is 8p jar, £2.40 tin and £5 cap1 cc

I would bite his hand off!!!! I understand your worries though, so why not talk to him about that sort of thing before you agree? Also, agree a minimum amount you can definitely afford and then if you can pay extra at any point, then all the better. Your OH half obviously wants to help you out or he wouldn't have offered. I'm sure you've said before that he's quite tight, so this is obviously a big thing for him. I would go for it Green as it's a big monthly saving.One step at a time0 -
I agree with Hopeful, sort out some of the smaller details like that, then go for it! With a minimum agreed amount, he'll probably appreciate it if you do manage to pay off more

Take the loan!
What I would do though is this...
1. Arrange a fixed monthly payment for you to give him
2. Make up a written agreement about how much you will pay him and keep a note of the payments
3. Remember the cardinal rule of clothes shopping - if they ask it cost you 50% less than you spent :A0
