Fit for anything Friday 13th August Daily Chat

Right on with the positive things..

5) Arranged to have lunch with my mentor at work (not really work related as we just end up talking about gardening and hillwalking and stuff)

---
I need some opinions. I've decided I want to do an online course to get me back into studying Philosophy so I can at some point finish my degree in it. It's £180 which I'm not entirely sure if I have spare this month or not. I want to get signed up as soon as possible to get a place. Sooo I'm thinking about borrowing the £180 from the account where I've been paying off the overdraft to get the course sorted, and then paying that back in as soon as I can - shouldn't be too long doing that, but it feels a bit wrong when I've been working towards paying it off Any thoughts?

It could very well be a partay Spud, altough its a bit embarrasing throwing a party for graduating at my age:o

I will be 40 the following year though:)

My Mum graduated at 38 (or there abouts) and we had a huge party. It was fab. I htink it means more because it takes much more effort to fit it around being a grown up;)

Trying to sort out a new mobile contract but T Mobile are driving me mad.

I would NEVER go back to T-Mobile. Orange are my new best friend:D

Personally I think its worth doing. You really want to do it. You're not frittering the money on 'stuff'. Its not going to set you too far of the DFW track. So long as its what your really want and you're not doing it because you think you 'ought' to...

Definitely - my dad was about the same age and we had a great celebration. If things go to plan I'll probably be round about the same age too :eek:

You see, I was sticking with T-Mobile because I'm not sure if I'd get a contract with someone different due to nasty credit rating things. I might just try though and then I can tell T-Mobile to go away in the politest way possible :A

I really want to do it. I'm thinking about trying to make the whole thing money-neutral if I can, so I would have to earn back the £180 somehow but I think I can do that.

YOU could make Hammy a costume, drink some red bull and do kids parties with an 'over the hedge' theme....

6) Helped a friend out with a techy problem and was told I was a "hero"

Quick opinion

If I could do you think it would be worth borrowing the money from a CC to pay off my loan? (0% CC obviously)

Loan settlement figure is 6564. current loan is 6773.

How long would you get the 0% for? Can you realistically pay it off before than runs out? If so then sounds like a good plan to me.

Buffythedebtslayer

I think 9 months.

I might ring the P.O cc people and see
