Help!

I am a newbie to quidco - ordered Mamma Mia (Thanks AnWsMum) got 30p.
Last week I clicked through quidco to order Friends DVD box set (it was reduced to £49.99 10 DVDs) so expected £3.50. It didn't track so I put in a 'claim' for it and it has been declined.

Obviously I need to get a fiver earned to pay my fees so I would have been close after this...
I have put in a query...what do I need to do?

(or should this be on a diff thread? Trouble is I know you lot use it... you're why I joined...)

Sorted! Apparently tracking may take several weeks...much like delivery then cos it hasn't shown up. Gryphon can you nip round to the warehouse and give 'em a kick please? Ta!

Nicki- I'm convinced ours are speeding up the service by putting the postcards of sorry you were out through the door without knocking and waiting. I bet they even tiptoe upto the door so as not to be heard.

I think my Avon lady does that :rolleyes: I was in all day the other day, but when I went to go and fetch DS I found a card posted through the door saying she had come to collect the book. Well try ringing the bell then! I thought it was supposed to be "ding dong, Avon calling" :rotfl:

I got really into Wicca and its peripharies(sp) when I was in high school and college, still have a load of my books actually, though my current sort of religious philosophy is a mixture...kinda went Roman and borrowed a bit from every thing, figure if it feels right then I can believe it. But there is alot to wicca/paganism which speaks to me. I've ever relly met any other wiccan/pagans but I found at college when the 'popular' kids found out about it, I got kinda curiousity poked fun at, they wanted to know more, but didn't want to be seen as liking something 'weird'...

Don't know if any of that makes sense actually, coz my words don't seem my own today....

Right off to find lists so I can make a start

Actually makes a heck of a lot of sense, and exactly what I think too! With a lot of religions the "rules" seem to be more important than what's actually believed, and I think everybody should be entitled to their own belief - even if that means 6 billion people (or however many there are on the planet) each believing their own thing or variation thereof without being criticised by others because they aren't doing it "correctly".

I believe in fairies, because if I didn't we have a ghost who moves things and steals socks, in singles not pairs!

Definitely something which steals things. A few years ago we lived in a (haunted) property. I was getting ready to go to the shops and was in the very narrow, with no furniture or anything hallway, and took some stuff out of my purse, but couldn't find my bank card when I put everything back. I had to cancel it and get a new one. A few months later I found it lying on the floor in the hallway (cue Twilight Zone music . . .)

Off on school run (as I imagine most of you are due to the deafening silence on this thread) I'm late again.

Argh DD1 ended up in 12.30 group again because of reading! Teacher said her reading record wasn't signed, I'm sure I did sign it so I'm not impressed. However DD1 hasn't brought her reading record home so I can't look to check. Thinking about sending a letter in asking exactly how much she has to read and how I'm supposed to sign her reading record! Not sure if I'm supposed to date each signature or not. Just a bit miffed about it all, especially after last week.
