HSBC 0% Interest on purchases

in Credit cards
Hi, i have just been accepted an application for the hsbc credit card with 0% interest on purchases for 12 months.
Im getting married in 7 weeks and want to buy a tomtom and wii for my partner.
Am i right in thinking that i can buy the items and if i pay, say, £25 per month and make sure the balance is clear by the end of the 12 months - i wont have to pay any interest?
I got stung by the balance transfer thing a while ago and just want to make sure im correct in my thinking.
any help would be much appreciated

It's a while since I got married, but I seem to remember we bought each other rings.Im getting married in 7 weeks and want to buy a tomtom and wii for my partner.
You need to pay (at least) the minimum payment of 2.5% of the balance each month, and settle in full before the end of the introductory period to avoid interest.Am i right in thinking that i can buy the items and if i pay, say, £25 per month and make sure the balance is clear by the end of the 12 months - i wont have to pay any interest?0 -
cheers for that, it was what i thought but just wanted to make sure
unfortunately she has had a ring as well but apparently that wasnt enough:rotfl:
weddings are an absolute rip-off - what are the church doing to charge £800?0
