  • Thanks for that Jen, will check it out. I'm looking for a matched bet with very high odds as the offer I'm doing at the minute is SNR, so I want to make the most of it :S

    Stacy you could always end the auction early and relist it on BIN?

    I've done 42 Qype reviews now and am slowly losing the will to live... don't think I can face doing another 8 tonight :(

  • Yeah, it's probably the best idea (though I just did another one). I was pacing myself at first... I did 10 on Friday, 15 yesterday and then today I went a bit crazy as I just want them done! I wonder how many people have qualified for the vouchers now? Hmmm, don't want to miss out.

    oh mm do you live near a beach i am so jealous!!

    i have looked into morages and the repayments are likel to be at least £550 a month!! So i need to make sure i put more away out my wages £550 a month would be £137.50 a week but i wouldn't pay rent so less £74 i need to put away £63.50 i might start with £60 a week first.! i already save £25 a week so i am going to up the direct debit to £60 !! eek this might go badly wrong!

    I need to know if i buy that i can afford the morgage without any extra cash!

    Hi Jen , yeah we are about 15 mins away from Saunton Sands and about 20 mins from Croyde (yummy surfers lol)

    Ouch!! but that is a really good idea to see if you can manage the payments and you will also have a lot put away for your deposit-cool!

    Take a break are doing that no lose bingo tonight and supposedly you do get the cash back as cash not as bonus so i have bought some tickets in advance with the scratchard money i have in there.

    can anyone tell me if on quidco you go to sign up to coral if it has a promotional code, it didnt show up on mine and there was a space that seemed like there should have been one there?

    let me know how you get one with the no lose bingo. When is it?

    Yeah £60 a week is a bit scary from my wages and family tax credits!! But if i shave £10 a week off the food shop and bits it shouls be ok. also going to look at possible increasing my hours in Arpil

    ok i might give that a go.

    I have been thinking of saving the money a morgage would cost for a few weeks but was not sure if i could do it!

    Although i have just switched pet insurance saving £5.80 a month and my child benifit is going up £3 a week and i changed my electric and gas from meter to direct debit so i shouls have at least £15 extra every week so save!
