    Becky - just had a quick look and I would borrow the smallest amount (£80), repay £100, so £20 loss, but with £65 cashback from Quidco, you will have £45 profit?

    Has anyone else done it that can confirm?


    yep, i think i made £40 full profit, borrowed £80, repaid £100 ... it was good...!

    Becky even if you got it to work, quidco isnt going to pay out to you before the weekend hun. Bank of mum and dad sounds like the best alternative

    No but she would have £80 to get her through the weekend....

    thats pants Becky - I would tot up how much it has cost you and ask them for reimubursement. Its not just about living close to the edge you are going away to New York and need to get your dollars......

    and the 25th is tomorrow so as they say you are getting paid tomorrow? No Monday which is not tomorrow.

    Sammy is cross for you.....

    Thanks guys I thought it might just be me - I think its because loads of the upper staff are really rich and dont understand what its like to live month to month and plan things very carefully - so their attitude is ah well, you'll get paid on Monday!

    [STRIKE]Go to boots - fallen in love with their tinted moisturiser so getting one on my points.[/STRIKE]done and resisted temptation to buy anything else...v v proud
    Would love to go for a run but not sure if childcare, timing and time allows am going for swim instead.
    Then attack office and getting things done list.

    don't be too sure Becky, I bet some of them a) have no idea whats coming out of their bank or b) or too proud to admit they are skint....

    My OH is both of the above.....
