    Morning morning!

    I can see my CC has received the payment just waiting for the balance to show 0 so I can go ahead and close it.

    Just had breakfast which was a simple cheese omelette with a coffee, I have to leave for work in half hour 😴 its also very toasty downstairs as OH has turned the heating on for me in the mornings.

    Payday is next Tuesday but I need to budget very very hard as were going away next month for two weeks and ill have to assign some spending money etc.

    Ive had a decent night sleep although I still feel sleepy, I cant wait for Saturday to come around as its not my weekend to work, im looking forward to a nice sleep in!

    Afternoon all!

    I applied for another credit card back when I was looking for 0% and Capital have finally come back to me with a random email today saying they've accepted me and my card is on the way.. NOW I know I only applied for this for the 0% offer but I cant remember what the offer was or how long 🤦‍♀️😂 so now we wait and see! 

    Im hoping its a decent amount of credit and a decent time frame for the balance transfer.

    Afternoon all,

    Not updated in a while 

    Old CC is closed and transfered onto Barclaycard CC. 0% until March.. waiting on capital one CC to see what the 0% frame and credit limit is! 

    Over the weekend we did boot sales and charity shops. Ive been picking up a few jeans from there so far at 50p! Not much else happening just counting down the days until Scotland trip!

    Morning all!

    So I received and email about the new CC where it shows my credit limit, it's £400.. so now I need to work out how to go around paying £1k off my old CC.. just popping in quick. Also visited the dentist yesterday as I needed a check up ans joined a new dentist and last month I cracked a tooth which has now led to the quotation of a root canal and crown!
