    My niece (rest her soul) couldn't stand her bumbo thing, she cried every time she was put in it, she much preferred being slouched back in her rocker the lazy thing that she was ;)

    I have a plan!!!! :D

    Let's just say we should be able to get rid of citi without increasing the barclaycard debt :D A plan so cunning I could have thought of it myself.... oh... wait.. I did.... :think:

    Anyway, I jest... it really isn't all that cunning or complicated.. was just a case of simple maths (HA! Maths? Simple? That's like saying that pi x 642 / the square root of an oz of moon dust x the weight of a bowling ball on the 3rd moon of jupiter + a packet of cheese and onion crisps is simple....)......

    Anyway.. you know me.. I work much better in random calculations mode so here goes......*drum roll please!*

    Current debt:
    Citi = £850 ish 27.9%
    Barclaycard = £799ish 19.9%
    Egg = £0 0%
    Total- £1649

    Plan
    Transfer £480 to egg (allowing for fees, yadda yadda yadda)

    Citi = £370

    Pay child benefit off citi (£120.80)

    Citi = £249.20

    Pay last of maternity pay off citi (Approx £217)

    Citi = £32.20

    Flog stuff on ebay or save up £32.20 to pay off and close citi :T

    New debt
    egg - £500ish 0%
    Barclaycard - £799ish 19.9%
    Total - £1299

    Egg have got back in touch saying that I can ask for a higher limit once the card is here and activated so touch would it'll work out even better than that!
    Total 'Failed Business' Debt £29,043

    IA,

    You can definitely raise £30 odd to finish citi off - methinks that it's not going to be too long before you're a uni-debter (I think I jsut made that up, but I mean only got 1 debt, not got the debt at uni!)
    Total Debt 13th Sept 2006 (exc student loan): £6240.06 :eek:
    O/D 1 [strike]£1250 [/strike]O/D 2 [strike]£100[/strike] Next a/c [strike]£313.55[/strike]@ 26.49% Mum [strike]£130[/strike] HSBC [strike]£4446.51[/strike]@15.75%[STRIKE]M&S £580.15@ 4.9%[/STRIKE]
    Total Debt 30th April 2008: £0 100% paid off!

    PROUD TO [STRIKE]BE DEALING [/STRIKE] HAVE DEALT WITH MY DEBT ;)

    I like uni-debter. I think that will stick. But speaking of Uni I have always thought that come time IA would be great at OU. She has the determination and she has a sharp brain. OK so you have a lot on your plate at the mo but I think you should think about it one day.
