Sunday already *sigh*

OH and his friend must have been pished as farts last night as the kitchen was in a right state when I got up, an all the lights downstairs were left on:mad:

They obviously decided to have a couple of pies with gravy and I think they must have had a gravy fight or something:rolleyes:

I am in a right grump too as I feel like washing my head out in soapy water as I am all sore throat and blocked up with a throbbing headache.

On a positive note I finally managed to place my £50 free bet netting myself around £39:D

Checked quidco and I have put an enquiry in for a bookie that still hasnt tracked for £20.

I have also decided to do something a bit risky...............

When I booked my hols for next year via Thomas Cook I took out one of their credit cards to pay the deposit as I will gain points against any TC holiday or currency. You get 1point for every £100 spend at TC or 0.5 point for every £100 spent in other stores.

I have decided to use this card for all my spending and pay it off in full the following month, I have paid for the fridge and the house insurance and have the money put away to pay it straight off.

Now I am doing the same for groceries, petrol and also Christmas. My plan is that all of these points will build up to around £50 once I pay the balance of the holiday on it and that will go towards our holiday money.??

Thoughts anyone

Check to see how much the points are worth. It may be that some other "reward card" offers better benefits.

The points are worth £1 Zed so for every £100 in TC I get £1 in points and for every £100 spend with other providors its 50p:D

This one is probably better then - and it's real money so you can spend it anywhere not only at Thomas Cook.

Lou I did a similar thing with my tesco's card, used it for all my spending to get the points to use at Christmas I have about 42 pounds so far. I think its a plan

Thanks for that Zed, I shall certainly look into that one:beer: I think I will time it for when my holiday balance is due then I will get the full £100 cash back on the £2000

Just make sure you attend to the T&C's in terms of minimum spend (£3000) and using it regularly.

You can always use it for your holiday, buy your weekly shop on it for a while, then close it.
