    Hi everyone

    I realise this was mentioned a couple of days ago now so the idea may well have been ditched anyway, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to be a party pooper and remind you that for your own safety and privacy we ask site users not to exchange personal details via MSE so the lottery syndicate idea is a no-no.

    Sorry guys!

    aww flip!!!:(

    Flybe card plopped on the mat this morning! I didn't chase them in the end and had almost forgotten about it.

    They've given me an apr of 19.9% - that's not too bad at the moment is it?

    And a credit limit of 7.5k

    Yikes

    Good job I'm 31 and not 21 - I was most irresponsible back then!
    Well done!!!:T

    Probably nothing left that you haven't already applied for anyway, darcy.

    Thanks!

    My credit rating was rubbish after i left uni in 1999 as I ran up credit card debt using it to pay rent and living expenses. As I did not have the income to pay it off they cancelled the cards. In the end my mum bailed me out, paid them and then I paid her off gradually.

    I never really bothered applying for credit after that apart from the occasional bank loan as I knew it would be refused and also I didn't have the spare cash to make payments.

    Now I earn good money and have grown up and feel i can be sensible.

    Although a little voice sometimes says *ooh, think of what you could buy*...

    lol

    I will be good though. Used some for Christmas and will book a holiday on one of them for my boyfriend's 40th bday.

    That's ok isn't it?!!!

    And some day to day spending that I will pay off in full at the end of each month.

    Blimmin' hell! Don't these little bits of plastic make you feel guilty?! :o

    yes they do i think everyone in this thread know what mistakes they have made and now when the second chance comes around its magical and they never want to lose it for a second time if that all makes sense
