For many of us, credit cards are to easy to use and much too difficult to pay off.  They have massive rates of interest, penalties, fines, you name it they seem to squeeze every penny out of you.  If this is you, then you may be interested to see out list of 7 alternative uses for your credit cards (feel free to add more!) :-

• Opening your door when you have forgotten your keys.  We have all see this in the movies, does it work? Who knows, but it’s a nice idea - James Bond eat your heart out.
• Scraping the ice / snow from your car windows in the winter time - what better use could you have, using that red hot card to cut through the snow!
• Is you garden in need of a good weeding? Can’t quite get into the cracks between the paving stones?  Never fear, use your credit card to get in between and force up those pesky weeds.
• Is your car tyre a little worn, does the tread need renewing? Check to see if you are legal with your credit card - use it to get between the cracks and see if the depth is ok.
• You now have yourself a wallet of new miniature rulers - cheap, although rather small, they do allow you to draw right angles as well!
• Painting! Whether you are looking at painting a wacky picture, or just stir that old tin of paint, that credit card will come in handy.
• The ultimate use for your credit card - balancing that wobbly chair.  That way it is useful and out of sight, so you cant use it any more.

If you have any more ideas, please feel free to add them.
