    Thanks Kerri, I can't pay the whole cc off in full but I was hoping to pay off the weekend away and my usual payment of about £70 so that my debt wouldn't actually increase. I think I have something like 54 days to pay off new purchases before interest kicks in. I suppose I could pay £340 + £70 usual payment and put a bit of shopping on and pay that off next month.

    Oh tried to join Swagbucks under your referral but I can't get my postcode accepted in the zip code box :(

    Hi all,

    Paid £25 off my First Direct credit card today so my new total is:

    #152 £25/£12,000

    (Hope I've done that right!)

    To the person who is looking for cheap champers (sorry, can't remember the username) I would go for Prosecco over cheap champers any day of the week. I even had Prosecco at my wedding instead of champagne!

    Oh no :( did you remember to put a space in?

    I guess as long as they aren't adding extra interest on, then that's got to be something as you're not paying them extra money :)

    Hi his missus,

    Does your postcode contain the number zero (0) as opposed to the uppercase letter 'O', or vice-versa?
