32 today and not one of my friends reached out to wish me a happy birthday. These are old school friends I’ve known for 10+ years, Is this normal +30 behaviour?

I saw someone claim that 1.5million people turned up to the Arsenal trophy parade yesterday but this seems incredibly inflated to me given that that's like filling Wembley Stadium 19 times!? Granted Arsenal have a solid fan base worldwide but realistically how many would be able to turn up to London on a Sunday?

For context the parade route was 5 miles long and presumably people were allowed to stand both sides. Some sections would have been much more densly packed than others but any idea if this 1.5million number is even feasable?

Here's the situation...

Aqua CC - £4,700 Balance at 27.3% interest
Natwest CC - £5,200 Balance at at 26.4% interest

Currently paying £~300 per month on both of these cards combined as the contractual minimum.

I racked these up around a year ago and would say my financial discpline and salary has improved significantly since then so pretty confident if they get paid down I won't be using them again. Also plan on walking down the credit limit until they're gone to avoid temptation.

Have looked into getting some balance transfer credit cards to ease the burden but only currently being offered 12 month 0% balance transfer for around £1,000, so won't cover the full amount unfortunately.

I looked at getting a 5 year loan to consolidate but this was at a 25% interest rate.

Moderate Credit Scores
Experian - 723
Clear Score - 657

Don't have any savings tied up anywhere I can rely on but have moved back into parents for a bit so should have £1,000/month as totally spare income from next week onwards.

Feel like I'm treading water here pretty significantly but wanted some guidance on how to get myself out this mess and start moving forward with my life in the right direction financially...

Just nabbed a set of P700s in the 8th anniversary bundle and added some HPT haptic modules for the brake and throttle. In my excitement I screwed the haptics on and jumped in to try them out. The stock springs were super soft for me so I tried to swap out the red for the gold spring.

Damn it needed some serious force to press down and get below the haptic module for swapping out.

Also the gold spring still feels quiet, any recommendations on how a good solid stiffer setup?
