    I am meant to be going to a neighbours Ann Summers Party tonight, I really really don't want to go, am so tired and Im not a huge fan of those sorts of parties. Don't want the neighbours to all moan about my lack of attendance though!

    Why don't you go but have an excuse ready when you get there as to why you need to leave early?

    Or get OH to call at an agreed time with a fake emergency?!

    I've never done this before by the way ;)

    I would find that incredibly stressful Lemon Tree, it must be hard to feel settled. I've been in my job for around 7.5 years now, can't see me ever leaving as it's only 10 minutes from home and I have some good friends here.

    I left my job of 10 years that was about 2/3 minutes away from my house, depending on the traffic LOL (I'm lazy). Kind of wish I wasn't so far away now :(

    Woo hoo a big hug and a sloppy kiss to Jules for pointing out the 6.9% life of the balance on my Barclay Card!

    I have just transferred £841.77 (max I was allowed) of my Lloyds Card onto my Barclay Card - the balance of my Barclay Card was already on 6.9% life of the balance.

    I am so happy right now :j

    Fantastic Woowoo!

    I just got accepted for a Barclaycard - are they any good? I've got a 0% deal for 16 months, cant believe with all the many and varied cards I have had before I have never had a Barclays account of any description!

    You have to click on the balance transfer tab, I did this a few weeks ago and there wasn't an offer there then!
