    Focus group was brillant. Hour and 20 mins of talking and scoffing gourmet sandwiches they provided! 70 in brown envelope when I left......:j

    I totally recommend it, although they seem to be concentrated in the London area but I did notice they offer online ones. :D

    Well I have just purchased home insurance which needed renewing - did it through quidco and it has tracked £60cashback instead of the £45 it says on the website!! I'm happy, will hopefully hit my account at the end of the summer, tho it may be too late... not sure if to count it in my total.... I'll decide near the end of the summer!! :)

    Yay at last I've had some luck on the mystery shop front :j :j I logged onto one of the sites earlier and managed to bag 7 jobs that had just gone on there :D 6 of them are on the same day and are all within about 3 miles of each other, so it will be a busy day but will help with the challenge :D The jobs will earn me 40.00 payment, 5.00 products from a computer shop, 5.00 products from a stamp shop, 5.00 products from a supermarket and 15.00 of free bets at bookies :beer:

    Well done! :D I've noticed they appear at random times, like now for instance. I used to think they would just appear during office hours. I have one this evening at a new restaurant. I can spend 25.00 and I get 9.00 for going. Normally its just the food you get free, not a fee as well! :beer:

    I have also been thinking about how I hope to find this 1K and this is a rough guide as to what I'm aiming towards ....
    • AQA £308 (£7 a day)
    • Surveys/Pigsback etc £15
    • Mystery Shopping £80
    • Ebay £100
    • Car Boots £55
    • Matched Betting £250
    • Wii £130
    • Quidco / Other £62
    So far I'm more than a little nervous :o:o I think it sounds completely unachievable tbh, but I will give it my bast shot and see how it goes, although I don't want to focus on this totally at the expense of having a nice rest with ds ;)

    Slightly confused by it though. Says maximum spend 25.00. I would assume I can spend more but they will reimburse only for the 25.00. I wish they would make clearer, always worried I muck up and invalidate it myself!!
