    Hi all I am on income support, as well as carer's allowance, and i have several credit cards, tho i do use them wisely and pay them off in full at the end of the month. i really like my tesco credit card as i can earn points on every item i buy no matter where they are from
    enjoy life, we only get one chance at it:)
