    Doelani, have you told hubby yet about your new credit cards?? :D


    Well told hubby last night and he can see why i did it and he was ok with it as long as I am sensible , I will be I promise.

    he agrees with me though I am cancelling the Vanquis card when it arrives and just keeping the Aqua. He applids for Aqua this morning and it was approved online for £800 :eek: I did not realise they did intant approvals.

    this means we can both get rid of our prepaid cashplus cards, although they ahve been handy may as well use a proper CC if we have them , our spending on them is less than £100 a month each so can just use it for CC instead.
