    OP Disregard this just be responsible- our elders don't understand not all of us young ones want to waste our time and money when we are young.

    For me work hard whilst young chill out when we are older!!

    I was going to link to this thread from earlier today.

    Just run your current account very well (keep it in the positive), pay a monthly phone contract on time, get a credit card and pay it off each month but no need to have a mad spending frenzy on it, use it for petrol or somethng else.

    No need to get a loan just for the sake of it.

    No need to rush it, just let itimprove over time.
