    Wow SS...almost £6K gone already! I'm likely to shave £6.5K off but that's for 12 months...not as good as your 8/9 months.

    Are you going to be able to do any cheap/free fishing if you need a "tight" month?

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Well I'm a member of a lake which is all paid for upfront and am going there Sunday to fish overnight so only have to pay for bait and petrol. All in all that should only cost me £10!

    Going to do 24 hours in Berkshire next week aswell which will cost me nearer £50! :doh: But thats my treat for the month! :rolleyes:

    That's not so bad, especially if you've got the extra money coming in from eBay and Quidco.

    Though I'm annoyed with Quidco at the mo - they've received all the payments and it's been scheduled for ages for May to pay out..they've only gone and moved it to June payment now and no idea when in June! This is from early April stuff too! :mad:

    Have you had cashback from Quidco before?

    No this is the first time I've used them! When does it tell you that everything has gone according to plan? :confused:

    My feeling is they keep the money longer so they earn interest on it! :think:

    I think your feeling is right.

    Go to Earnings - it'll say "tracking" next to it (in terms of time, think how long is a piece of string!), then it'll move to being Validated (by the supplier) or something similar, then it'll move into the Received column (that's received by Quidco) - you'll get a month in the Scheduled column then (when it's scheduled to pay you)...and I'm now at the stage of just waiting for them to pay me...all £27.71 of it!

    Don't forget your first £5 they keep for their fee.

    Hope you cleared cookies, down-graded security before you did your purchase...my A&L £50 didn't track! Should have read their newbies bit first and done a small cashback one to start with :mad:
