Good morning GC!
Morning All!
Not much to report. Still waiting for my Disney Chase card....
Two weeks from now I have to take my daughter back to college for the fall. 
Good morning boys and girls. CFNA (Firestone) new site is up and running, now CLI is an online option. Not for me, but DW got an $800 increase this morning. Woot!

No, it wouldn't be wrong, but she wouldn't appreciate it, I'm sure. Here's another thought, reserve two seats next to eachother, sit next to her and hold her hand. If she won't stop nagging you, hold YOUR hand over her mouth.... 
Good Morning Gardeners!!
How is everyone?
I am soooooooo happy to announce that I woke up this morning to an email from Barclay letting me know that my fico score had changed.
I checked to see what it was and screamed when I saw 700!!!!
My gardening has finally paid off and I have reached my goal score of 700 with Transunion.
I will be checking myfico soon to see where I am with Experian and Equifax.
Thank you soooooo much to everyone here for encouraging me and keeping me on my best gardening behavior. LOL!!
Starting Score: 639 (Walmart TU)As for this years goals and scores, I'll confess that I don't have one really. I'm kind of stuck in neutral waiting for January to get here. Over the last eight months or so, our debt and utilization have skyrocked, but we knew that was going to happen. I'll go back to two jobs in about 30 days and hopefully at least slow the bleeding until 01 January when DW can refinance our castle.
Over 60 days app free, and will have my silver spade by the end of the month...might be going for gold, haven't decided yet. (I'll confess that whether I make it or not has a LOT to do with pre approval websites... )
