  • Eurgh Monday - it is way too early. 

    Coffee is very much needed. 

    Hoping my Halifax code comes today so I can get online and start the fund plans.

  • Hey Dolly, fingers crossed your bank code comes today, the banks are getting much better at sending these out within a few days.

    Monday for me just got better as I've had a 3 hour meeting cancelled so I can crack on with some admin and project work!

    I'm also on the coffee today - 3rd and counting!

  • Well the code didn't come so hopefully tomorrow. 

    Will check to see if my other statements have been produced so I can at least start the plan a bit. 

    Just know I will feel better with a list on the go. 

    I'm all coffee'd out for the day, any more and I'll start shaking. 

    Yay to the meeting getting cancelled!

  • I feel the same when it comes to planning. Making a start where you can will definitely make you feel better :)

  • Okay so I've made a plan and I can't believe it but it's all gonna work out before all the 0% offers expire!

    I'm just waiting on the ability to edit my posts so that I can update the posts for each credit card.

    Anyone any idea how long before my little edit button appears? 

    Kinda annoying that it doesn't let you edit straight away but I know the site has reasons for it. 

    I am not patient enough though ;-)

  • That’s great news Dolly! Always a good feeling when you realise you’ll not be paying any interest :) 

    Not sure on the edit button, but I imagine it won’t be long x

  • I just had to make on balance transfer from Virgin to MBNA to make it work but the fee was only £12.36 so well worth it.

    Hopefully today!?
