    I'm going to keep it until after the MOT just in case there's any nasty suprises.... once we're over that hurdle it'll be cut up into millions of pieces and burnt! lol!
    I keep doing that OH's credit card - he has one for emergencies, but try telling him that Dominoes Pizza isn't an emergency:mad:
    After cutting the last one up, I managed to intercept the new card and destroy that..... Unfortunately he noticed and ordered another one:mad:
    He's not quite with the whole MSE/DFW yet, he's a work in progress!

    Why don't you take one of those "fake" credit cards they try to tempt you with in junk mail and swap it with his real one - see if he notices... ;)

    Oh b*gger I've just realised that the MOT,service and car tax being due is SUCH bad timing. It's our first wedding anniversary on the 5th and we were planning on having a party on the day the car's having it's Mot!!!!!!

    BUM! What are we going to go? We'll need to buy food and were planning on buying an m+s wedding cake.. we had the 3 tier m+s cake for our wedding but our caterer took it away and cut it up before we got chance to so we planned to do that for our anniversary... but they're £17 a pop as it is! ARGH!

    According to ur calcs, u have a £113 buffer.... how much were u looking to spend on food etc? If u set urself a mini budget, and maybe tried to get a few bits in the next couple of weeks, u can always keep Citi for the car stuff if u need too... It is ur first wedding anni after all, u defo deserve a party :D
    Hope that makes sense?

    The £113 buffer if for the whole month... by the 4th we'll have £178.17. The MOT will be minimum £33.74 that's if it doesn't need anything doing to it.
    It all depends on how much the car is! If it passes we'll be fine and if not we'll be screwed! lol!
