    I packed my son off to France for a few weeks' skiing, yesterday, so having paid for that, there is nothing left for OPs right now.....but hopefully after Febs payday I can re-budget and throw a bit at it!

    Hope everyone is staying warm!

    I too have found Quidco to be great (I know it has its critics) and have made around £650 since October 2008, mainly from shopping, especially now they do the 1% ASDA groceries cashback.

    I was going to book an Asda delivery earlier, (although they seem to have cancelled them because of the snow), but hadn't even thought about getting cashback.

    I have looked at quidco and can't see anything about the 1%, only £5 for first order...

    Mmm - they must have stopped doing it, but they had been doing it when I ordered my last ASDA grocery shop about 4 weeks ago.

    Just a quick update for me as it is the end of the first month I have paid off £1334.98 which I am really happy about although that is behind target percentage wise I am in fact ahead of target according to my plan - with only being paid every 6 months I intend to make large payments at the beginning of May and the beginning of November and in the meantime just find as much as I can for the months in between - the aim is £500 per month so I have already smashed that this month :j it won't happen every month but so far so good:D

    Just opened a statement and I have miscalculated and I have paid an extra £10 so have altered sig - they all help
