    Evening all...hope everyone is ok.

    I've had a productive MSE day today....

    DH wanted something off the internet which got me thinking as I don't like to use a main debit card on sites I've never heard of inase of fraud....more about this later in the post.

    DH also decided he was going to sell a gold chain of his ...he got £250 for it so he gave the £90 to pay for the thing off the internet and kept the rest..lol

    We went to the carvery for lunch and he paid..so very MSE for me.

    Picked up Tess's dog food £41.80
    potatoes...£1.28
    biscuits ...£1.39
    diesel...£61

    DH THEN BOUGHT SOME COMPUTER BITS FROM MAPLINS AND CURRYS

    We then went to pay some money into savings...will update sig for that tomorrow...as it got way laid to another account until tomorrow..lol

    We've decided we'd like an account that will be used for online purchases only ..so we opened a joint reward account so this will give us another free £5 p/m REWARD

    We were also offered the clarity CC whilst there ..this gives another £5 P/M REWARD...we don't use CCS but will be worth using for fuel and paying in full each month I guess.

    Also the ISA rate has just gone up again...so the manager put both ISAs on the higher rate

    all in all quite productive day really

    Sounds pretty good Taxi! :)

    I can understand you not wanting to go near the old CCs (once bitten, and all that), but if you feel confident that you are safe to be set loose (and as a spectator, I can't see you going mad on them ever again ;)), then why not use them for their benefits? It's just like Quidco in a way...you spend something, you get something back.

    Worth thinking about, anyway.

    Sleep tight. x
