I was at melanie's blog and she was talking about getting a credit card. This made me post about my devil of a credit card. Its been maxed out about a month after I received it. I always pay on it, but then I spend what I put on it like the next day. You guys have already figured out that I have a spending problem.
My mom read in a magazine you can put your credit card in a bucket of water and freeze it in the freezer so you can't touch it. And if you really need it you have to take it out and unthaw it.So it will make you think twice about using it.
My mom thinking this would cure my bad habit took it out of my wallet and immersed it in an old butter container and stuck it in the deep freeze. A day later I of course panicked when I couldn't find my credit card. My mom calmly pointed to the deep freeze and said "Its in there". I looked in and marked on the butter container said "Amanda's credit card" And to my surprise it was actually in there frozen in a block of ice.
It did work for as long as I had it frozen I put money on my card and couldn't touch it. But the second I unthawed it, I spent it all. I guess it time to chuck it back in the freezer.
It was quite a story to tell.I had to book a hotel room and they needed my credit card number to hold the room. She asked what the expirary date was. And I had to tell her I didn't know because my credit card was in the freezer. The women was quite puzzled, but I told her the story and she thought it was a smart idea.LOl..
All my friends still laugh at me. They tell to be careful not to stick it in the microwave if I wanna quickly unthaw it lol.
