in Credit cards
Even tho I am a carer on benefits, Capital One accepted me. I can't believe it. I will be really really careful with it.

    I can get second hand copies of books on the net really cheaply and save a good bit of money. Every year I have borrowed from Provident with a huge rate of interest. The interest on the credit card is much smaller and if I pay them what I was paying Provident, I could get them paid off a lot quicker and be able to put the rest away in the bank, at least that is my intention, don't know if I will manage what I hope to do.

    why do you want to make yourself poorer by paying interest to provident or to a credit card...
    only use the CC for things you can afford to pay off each month so you wont pay interest
