If the rate is the same on TopCashBack I prefer them as there is no annual £5 taken from the earnings.financialbliss wrote: »Ha, I got 29p this week off Quidco. Just a small e-bay item, but I was purchasing anyway, so why not use quidco?

thanks stu. Hell no its a nightmare. This member of family can't come on this date, this member of family is going skiing, blah blah blah :-) As long as the mrs turns up i'll be happy but she is getting very stressed at mo.
Currently saving £200 each in a barclays regular saver to pay for wedding, wish sometimes i had the extra £400 a month to overpay mortgage. Think i am clinically obessed (with mortgage freedom anyway ).Mortgage Start jun 2007 £88500 Outstanding Balance £51000
