Another one bites the dust

Just fed my last interest charging card to Mr Shredder after sending the cancellation letter off by special delivery this morning. :D

Now I can concentrate on making sure I channel enough into interest paying savings to pay off my 0% card when the introductory period ends.

  • The shredder thing has become a bit of a ritual since the first time I did it. It only works on the slowest setting so it takes just over a minute to go through .

    Very therapeutic. :o

    I haven't got a shredder so had to do the scissors/tiny pieces route.

    BTW, off-topic I come from Sunderland :-)

    Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
