Well, we've decided we're going to buy a 2nd hand Humax :)
If we can get one for £100 ish then this will pay for itself in 3 months once we cancel Sky so :T

:T :TYay!

This will then put all our debts on 0% for another 13 months at least
Aim to pay off these 2 cards by end of 0% leaving just the third and final card to go which is still on long term 0%

All sounding good!:)

Dh was accepted for a 0% card (13months) with Natwest so we can transfer the balance from the card ending in Feb :beer:
Weight off my mind as we'll have this cleared within the 13 months hopefully

Oh and bought a humax freesat for £145 Bye Sky, bye subscription

Hi Sista,

Great news on the card, bet you are so pleased. And bet you can't wait to get rid of Sky, I know how much I enjoyed telling them I was cancelling :rotfl:

mmmmm think I may have to have another go & see if I can get a reduction - I managed to get 6 months 1/2 price the last time I threatened to cancel. Not sure how many times they offer that!

Now before anyone says anything "I know" but I did without it for 7+ years while I cleared my debt and promised myself I'd get it back when the debts went (which I did) - and I do only have the basic package (downstairs only - have FreeSat upstairs).

It's my only entertainment allowance .... honestly / seriously - I never go out (one meal out this year which was a birthday treat) and I don't do pubs /clubs now .... and the cinemas to far to justify fuel costs (50 mile round trip) so ... that's kind of how I justify it but hate paying for it:rotfl:

:wave:

Rising, we wouldn't begrudge you Sky
Fae, i am :T and i can't wait to make that call....


Going to pay an additional £80 off the debt this fri as we had some christmas ££ given to us, and seeing as the £ spent on the freesat was taken out of savings we'll be paying it back every month with £ from the cancelled Sky subscription :cool: we thought we'd just pay it off the 16 odd grand :rotfl:
