    That means you're no longer a virgin. No wonder you're jumping for joy.

    Well done... ;)

    Well done Sammi

    Is it possible to transfer the 5.7% Egg to the 0% Virgin?
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    The 0% runs out end of feb and as the egg is so low anyway and the amount is relatively low I have worked out it is better where it is. I am currently paying £13 a month in interest on that so its not so bad :)
