            Hit by £30 interest on credit card today so the totals have changed…
 
 Credit Card - £1,199.61 (after refund should be £247.61)
 Old Overdraft - £212.50
 Mum & Dad - £1,250.00
 TOTAL DEBT - £2,662.11 (after refund should be £1,710.11)
 
 EAMD has suggested I call my Credit Card company and ask them to lower my rate which I think I’m going to do this afternoon.
 
 Still no refund from the flights… but then they did say that it could take up to 6 weeks to come back. Oh well!
 Hope you’re all happy and smiley today lovelies!

            As i said Hon, def worth trying, i got 5% drop in my apr just by asking.
 Who is your card with? Just phone them up, tell them they are your most expensive card and is there anything they can do about the rate, if not you'll be transferring your business to another card as they are going to give you a better deal. You'll probably be put through to a different department but worth a 5 min phone call!Debt Now~Total-£14,366.72~CC-£1,600.00~Sofa-£1,349.01~Loan-£11,417.71

            The only trouble with getting a voucher on PB is that your balance goes back to zero and that's demoralising!
