Do you mean close the credit card or stick them in a lump of ice in the freezer so you don't use them. Closing them all can be seen as a negative.

I was gonna close them completely.badmemory said:Do you mean close the credit card or stick them in a lump of ice in the freezer so you don't use them. Closing them all can be seen as a negative.
I've got one with Sainsburys that I am going to keep, it has a limit of £8,900 so thought that would be enough temptation.

So the girl came and picked up the bed so I can finally get my dining room all set for Christmas time!
I also gave her a wee dog toy and a 'Crazy Dog Lady' photo frame thing that I've had in the cupboard for ages so I suppose that counts towards reducing my stash - yay!Debt Free - 4th June 20251 -
And just like that the weekend is almost over!
Chilling on the couch with the dogs watching telly - early night so I'll be in bed before 10pm.
FT shift and 2 paid dog walks to do tomorrow so I'll have to work late to make up the time.Debt Free - 4th June 20250 -

Thanks @lilian1977 - honestly didn't do much at all.
Saturday I was so lazy - apart from taking the dogs their 3 walks I just sat and watched telly.
Need that day to recharge because I am out and busy all other days.
How was your weekend?
