  • Why
    Toto?
    What is a Vanquis card anyway? (sorry, thicko I know...)

    Credit card of last resort.

    Typically they give a low limit £250 type amount on really high interest rates in the hope that when you've spent it you'll rack up the charges. As flashed about by people who are really proud to have a credit card - any credit card.

    If Trisha's guests only have one credit card it'll be this one.....

    Could you do dog walking from home, pop in and take ( people at work/too old/sick to walk dog ) dogs out during the day in return for cash. Kids get an occassional dog to help with, you get paid and you don't have to have a mutt around permanently or pay to feed it, vets, or put it in kennels when go on holiday.All the fun of the dog without the costs and get paid.
