    OK, I have just spent my amazon voucher on a gym ball and some weights - need to do some strength work to help with my running, and the guy at the gym last night (mystery shop) gave me some really good exercises to do. So I have ordered the kit, so that I can do them at home......

    And of course, if they don't get used, they can go back on amazon, and I've not spent any "real" money in the mean time, but would get "real" money back if I sell them on!

    Evening.

    Surfbabe *ouch* Does this mean you will be teaching by holding up sub-titles. Hope they come up with a better solution for you and that voucher turns up.

    Karma, thank goodness you found your voucher. :eek:

    Shaun, good luck in the move and remember, anything that is still in boxes 10 years later should be thrown away :whistle: :rolleyes:

    Walshy, I would like to adopt you as my brother, as an only one, I've obviously missed out in life :kiss: :kisses3:

    Hypno, hope the skis are repairable, maybe you could barter the Egg wine. My basket on Amazon is filling up, although do I really need Nigella's Piglets :confused: The Moleskine diary has to stay though ;)

    Hugs to Pania.

    Oh no, the wine is all mine!!! (well, it might get used for Christmas presents yet......!)

    I hope the skis are repairable too - even if it is only a "temporary" repair......if it can get him through the next few weeks until the new year, that will help!

    I've had an email from Quidco today, telling me that they've paid out my Nov payment....I'm sure I don't usually get an email off them.
    And...I had a £1 win on one of my scratch cards this morning. :j creeping me ever closer to a payout.

    I'm getting £5 from quidco this month, and have chased up again the £230 that we have in enquiries :mad:

    Good news on the scratch-cards - it is amazing how quickly they seem to approach payout :T

    I need to do a quidco trawl too - I think I am going to have one day a month that I trawl that site and the other cashback sites to try and up my income - it has been a bit hit and miss recently, but only because I have not put in the same amount of effort!

    Good idea Hypno maybe we could use your diary to write down any offers we all find so we can share them amongst us.

    lol!! I will let you know when I am having a "quidco day".......!

    benben, yes, it is not as good as it used to be, but I suppose we just have to be grateful for the free money we HAVE had, and thank our lucky stars we found it when we did, so that we could take advantage fairly early on!
