If I have 2 weeks of nospends I could justify this for the long awaited hols!!
What is very odd is that I work I manage a budget of £800K (and \ do it very well) yet at home I can't manage £100 per week!!
I am personally trying to cancel a cc at the moment, but whilst they will take money from me at any time, 24 hours a day - it seems you have to catch them at exactly the right time during working hours for them to pay me back and close the a/c.0 -
