    Yay for quidco :)

    Sadly I'm not due any payouts for a while. Even more sadly, I'm actually looking forward to car insurance renewal time just so I can ferret out the best bargain in cashback terms.

    I hope that's not what you meant by more 'fun and adventure' :rotfl::rotfl:

    :j Great news on the Quidco, Sarah. :j Mine says I have £55 received, so I am also excited. :j And my I Want One Of Those voucher has arrived from the Qype challenge, so that's a birthday present sorted. :j

    In fact it's been a pretty :j day all round today. It's my mum's birthday, so we have taken her out for lunch. I know this is going to sound really daft, but the highlight of my day was seeing her walking round Waitrose doing some shopping; it's been so long since I've seen her walk without using her stick. :D One of her presents was a rather groovy shopping trolley, so she spent part of the journey home dismissing most trolleys as lacking a certain funky je ne sais quoi when compared to hers. :p

    Hi Lula - sorry we're late home! :rotfl:Are you allowed back out to play now? :p

    makeup - Sending you lots of chilled out thoughts for tomorrow. I've only had a tooth out under anaesthetic once (aged 17) and it culminated in me telling the dentist what lovely eyes he had. :rolleyes: ;) Hope your flatmates take good care of you.

    Shoe Gal - mmmmm...cake! That's always a good day. Hope you're doing ok.

    Bowski - Your DD must be so excited!

    eco - You really are eco...must think about getting one of those meters - sounds as though it would be really useful.

    Buffy, Pink Twirl, Gwen, TDQO - hope you're all doing well - and anyone else I've missed... :A

    Am most annoyed to discover that my own insurance company is the cheapest of the decent ones and that if I do go for a slightly higher quote, even with cashback I won't save much, probably only around £20-£30, so it's probably not worth it in terms of hassle icon8.gif

    Hey Everyone

    Thanks for your good wishes.

    I'm hoping it'll be a quick in and out (literally)

    I'm off to see a friends new baby on Saturday and then up to Birmingham for a family Fathers day lunch on Sunday.

    Sarah - most impressed at your amazing payout from Quidco - and I was excited about my £25 that I'm due!!!

    Well done Lula on your bargainous wine!!

    Hurrah for Fridays! (even if they do involve dentists!!)
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    I told my insurance company how much my cheapest quote was, and they promptly knocked £50 off their renewal figure for me. Even in the extremes of bare-faced cheek, I wasn't expecting that, but it might be worth a try...;)
