No I meant do you have 0% on money transfers from MBNA.
if so transfer whatever into your current account & then use it to pay off card & you would only pay the handling fee.I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Hi Butti
I have been lurking with interest! Its hard to resist temptation isnt it!!
Re getting new card - just checking that you know there is a card application 'trial run' on the main site which allows you to try getting a card but doesnt show on any credit check and then it tells you if you are likely/very likely to get the card?

Thanks Lyn. Have checked on that.
In my case it's more which cards I haven't had recently. ..so offers from M & S and the Halifax are ruled out because I paid them off and closed them within the last year.

Rowing :eek: :eek: :eek:
You know when something used to be good in your life so you return to it. Then you struggle to remember how to do it.......go out with a load of people who know exactly how to do it.........and you are the weakest link. At the end of each outing you get back and get told what you were doing wrong. ..followed by what else you were doing wrong......followed by "should I stop there?" "NO......its all constructive criticism "........and other things I was doing wrong.
Someone doesn't understand the definition of constructive.
I do ....so I shall be knocking the rowing on the head while we still have a possibility of finding my self esteem. Life is too damn short!Debt LBM (08/09) £11,641. DEBT FREE APRIL 2021.
