The end of my relationship

with my credit card!!

card-1.jpg

It was all take take take with him. So it's time [STRIKE](he)[/STRIKE] we broke up :D

A pretty big thing for me... had it since December 2008 and it expires in 2012 so plan to pay it off by then... feel a little bit odd like my safety net has gone but it's maxed out and there's no point in paying off the minimum just to spend it again.. hope you'll understand :D

    hehe thanks guys - still can't believe I've done it.

    I got a new blackberry as my contract ended (now saving myself up to £30 a month) and I have a case which says 'life is too short not to love what you do' and right now this is my mantra. I have had enough of scrubbing toilets after work to earn extra funds to put in my pocket. It's time to get money saving and debt busting for good so I can 'love what I do'!! xxx

    Breakups are always hard but there's nothing like posting compromising photos of your ex- on the internet to resolve yourself of the hurt!!

    Good job! :D

    haha yeah Matt you're right - there is nothing better than that!!

    Nothing like a shocking headline aye Perni!! That's my media side kicking in lol!!! However the BF has just screamed like a girl for fear of having no coffee left (we work at the same place lol!) so it might be the end :rotfl:

    Trying to do a spending diary and I haven't got a clue where to start!! xxx
