    Well......pay it off in full, then treat yourself to something nice.....then pay it in full again? :D

    BTW, I have been trying to buy a V Tech discovery tree on ebay for ages, but they have all been going for quite a lot of money (up to £15 or so) and they're only £20 brand new in Woolworths. So I'm going to wait till after Xmas, see if I can get a cheap one, and if not I will bite the bullet and buy her one. They had one in the waiting room at one of the appointments we went to the other week and she LOVED it! Great suggestion, thanks. :T

  • We have been using the barclaycard like that since we cleared it. I did my online xmas shopping on it, cleared it, and have now used it for the car service & new battery, and will clear it again when the bill comes. It is a nice feeling. You'll clear it in no time IA.

    Aww I'm glad she liked it! Thought she would.. K loves it and Ash STILL loves it even though she's had it for 2 yrs now! Definately worth the investment!

    found this through google.. any use?

    Bless you for looking! I think it would probably be almost as much as a new one after I've paid for postage on it to be honest (and it's a bit too far away to collect), but that was really thoughtful, thanks!

    Yes, I'm already watching that one :) I'm hoping the higher postage on it might put people off and I'll be able to sneak in with a low bid. I'll have to remember to go through Quidco, I always forget! Although I think it's 7% of what ebay make from the sale, not 7% of the price you pay, if I understand it right?

    How's the new laptop? Have you DFW'd in bed yet? :D:D

    Haven't done anything in bed except sleep for a looong time. :rotfl:
    Good luck.. hope you win it... :D I think that's right about the cashback.. it's too confusing for me..

    Also another recommendation of a toy that Ash got for her first xmas... they both love it and K's really getting into playing with it now... :D
