    Well another NSD yesterday, so that was 3 in a row. I am on a roll.

    As I mentioned the other day I have managed to shift £6300 of my debt onto a 0% card for 14 months. I worked out the interest I will save. It comes to £1323 :eek::eek:

  • Hi folks,

    Just sitting with a nice glass of red wine and looking over my travelling photos, they still make me grin like a stupid cheshire cat. Two years to the day, I was in Zermatt, the land of the gods, and by god it was beautiful. I think my favourite place was venice and I have just been re-reading my blog and thought I would share a bit with you all, if you don't mind.

    "I then walked to the edge of the square and sat down on the steps were the water was lapping at my feet, and sipped my red wine from a plastic glass and admired the scenery. Other cities around the world have one or two stunning buildings and sites, Venice had an infinite number. Everything was magical, even the so called normal buildings, were the waves lapped at the front doors made me smile. At every turn there was a canal, with a gondola gliding past, or some other amazing site.

    This place was built to endure and will be still standing long after we have gone. They don't make places like this anymore. They don't make structures like this anymore, it's not efficient or practical and takes too much space for the compact world in which we live in now. But who cares, because it is a majestic, timeless place full of wonders and joy.

    As I sat on them steps drinking my wine, you could feel the history in the air. If you blotted out the tourist stalls and billboards it was as close as you could get to looking back in time, glimpsing an era of creativity and stunning beauty that we will never see the like of again."

    I'm convinced that's where i belong, in a time gone by. But here we are, in the now, and all in the name of progress?

    MF - what brilliant news with the 0% credit card. It has been over a year since I applied for a CC and I think I might try my luck and see if I can get a 0% - even if I shift a little bit of debt onto it it will all help.

  • Hi Folks,

    Thanks MrsP.

    The even better news is because I shift that £6300 debt, it allowed me to juggle my other debt around. So now all my debt is 0% free, apart from the £2500 overdraft.

    So really pleased with that.

    On another positive note, I have managed a NSD yesterday so that is 1 for the month.

  • Hi Folks,

    I went to see Oliver last night at the theatre. me and my gf won tickets in a raffle. It was fantastic and Brian Connelly played Fagan.

    I love going to the theatre, the production the singing, everything is so much better than watching a film.
