Sounds like you all had excellent
weekends! Mine wasn't too bad either, went to Vinopolis on Saturday morning to get some wine for my Dad before meeting him at Smiths of Smithfield.

The steak I had was stunning, best in a long, long while. Had my first sip of wine for 65 days too, which was pleasant, but heady. Then I took the long, long route home on my bike (17 miles) and settled down to an evening of xbox.

Sunday I cleaned and did all my paperwork, plus I've been approved for my first credit card. Hurrah!

I'm planning to leave it at home
and buy one pack of smokes a month just to raise my credit rating. I would snap it in half, but apparently I need to spend money on it for my credit rating to rise :(

Noy only spend money,
Pay it back every month.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Mon 14 Mar 2011, 9:29, Reply)

Yeah, should have added that
direct debit is set to cover the amount each month.

I applied for another one ages ago to use when going away with work
Barclaycard gave me a £340 limit. I asked WTF could I do with that and they said they would monitor usage for 6 months and then up it accordingly. If I go to London with work I will spend more than that in petrol/train/hotel/food/parking in two days.

Barclaycard were then told to fuck off

Intriguing
I might have to get one of those Tesco cards. If I did my shopping on them and then instantly transferred the amount when I was home, would that work?
(Himjim died a little more inside on, Mon 14 Mar 2011, 9:56, Reply)

Yep!
If you also have a clubcard you'll end up with double points

Why do you want to increase your credit rating?
Unless you're planning on getting more credit.

Don't do it.
