    God my OH makes me so mad sometimes, he had the doctors at 9.30 a.m. this morning to discuss the results of his hospital visit and he still hasn't called me back to let me know what was said - he must have at least 8 missed calls from me now!

    I remember BF not calling me back ALL DAY after a really important doc appt - I was convinced it was either really bad news and he could face talking about it or he'd jumped off a flaming cliff. Of course it was neither, it was all fine, he'd gone to work and forgotten about it!

    Hope he rings soon though, the edge of the seat is not a comfy place to sit...

    I suspect he has left his phone in the car, I know it's not at home as I went back there at lunchtime!

    Of course when he does finally ring back he's gonna get a right earful!

    Woo, just catching up on Jules' diary and saw your post about transferring the balance to the Barclaycard but not all of it cause of the credit limit.

    I know you got turned down for the other card so a new card's not an option but have you thought about ringing Barclaycard and asking them to up your limit. If you reduce your Lloyds one as far as it will go first so you look like you have less credit available it might work.

    Just thought you may be more likely to get a limit increase than an entirely new card.

    Then you could transfer loads more to 6.9%! :)

    Hi Bec's

    I did try to up the limit at the time but it said no :(

    I have actually closed my Lloyds c/c so there is no available balance there to spend.

    Think I will try again in the New Year, as don't want to keep applying at the moment.

    Thanks anyway though x

    That's a shame.

    By new year with the fact that it's been a while since you applied and the fact that the debt is less, hopefully you'll get a new card then x
