    Brrr, I feel even colder at the thought of being in Scotland right now!

    Do you think you'll be able to start on the Santander card before the 0% runs out?

  • I'm really hoping so WooWoo - I have till June to pay as much off before I transfer whatever is left over to the BoS card.

    You never know I may have them both paid off in full before then..........well I can dream can't I ;)

    Morning!

    OH let me have a bit of a lie in this morning so life is gooooooooood! Not planning much as weather is poop :(. On a positive though - only 2 weeks till payday!

    Withdrew £3 into my paypal from Lightspeed last night. Need to get cracking again with Toluna - I'm about halfway to another voucher but was aiming for 2 vouchers this month (we will see :p)

    Gas and Leccy switching on Monday - hopefully a refund due from Mr Scottish Power (I have no idea as I havn't seen a gas bill in a year, shows how MSE I was pre- LBM eh!)

    Forgot to mention that Vanquis sent me an invitation for one of their delightful CC's yesterday. Only 39.9% interest (!!!!!!!) "Get em while they're hot!"

    Cancelled my Virgin card about a month or 2 ago - but this morning Mr Postman brought me a letter from them offering me a 6.9% LOB offer on it. I'm assuming my card is still cancelled (says so when I log in to online bank) and it was just an oversight on their part.

    Off to clock in my meter readings for E:ON!

    No No Ms Woo - no more for you! :rotfl:

    I'm going to have to take money out of the grocery budget and go to the cash & carry for Washing powder and softener. I like to buy in bulk as you save mega in the long run - but it will make a good £20 - £30 dent in the funds. Hopefully it will last a good 3-4 months though :)

    8 items ending on ebay tonight :T - 3 without bids :(.

    No never again BR, I think those disgusting rates should be banned as well!

    Good luck with eBay x

  • £28.41 for enough washing powder and fabric softener for the army!

    I hate spending money now :(
  • I hate spending money as well, feel like i'm turning into scrooge.
  • Me too Pennywise!

    5 items sold on Ebay for £12.37 = not too shabby. Someone even payed 99p for 7 pairs of DD's old socks - bobbles and all :rotfl:

    Love ebay!
