    Yes it feels quite good ... it would feel better if I hadn't had to borrow the savings, but nevertheless, it feels better than paying all that interest!

    I did it!!!!!! I have phoned Capital One and closed my credit card account :j :j :j :j I am so pleased with myself for being strong this time and closing it :A

    The guy said "Oh I'm sorry to hear that, is there any reason why?" and I felt so good saying that we were in the process of paying everything off.

    So, the cards are snipped and in the bin, and the cancellation is being processed.

    I actually smiled while cutting the cards ... now I am going to do TopShop :D
