    Yay for the tax credits people!! :T

    If they ask for it back, don't borrow from the card, just pay it back in the smallest instalments they will allow - it will be interest free - think of your snowballing principles!

    Hi Hypno

    Fantastic news about the tax credits! :T :T :T :T :T :T :T

    What I wouldn't give for a windfall like that - not jealous at all!!!

    By the way, I have done that Vernons deal through Quidco that was mentioned - hope it tracks quickly!

    Vernons tracked within 24 hours I think, and it looks as though they pay out promptly too.

    Thanks - that's useful to know!

    By the way, did you see on my diary about the little (and I mean little, compared to yours!) windfall that I got today?

    not yet - I have only just got in from my meeting.......will head off to look now!

    Edit: that is a good start - hopefully the APR will stay low too! Fingers crossed.
