    I've never used quidco...I wouldn't know what to do :o
    £2.85 please Euro.

    Sign up to Quidco via https://www.Quidco.com - there is a box in the top-right saying "Join Quidco".

    Search for Boots Kitchen Appliances.

    Click on the link to there (Clear any cookies from your browser first)

    You will earn cashback and they will pay it to you when the merchant pays them. Sometimes it takes a while to come through, but I've never had any be declined. I joined it two years ago and am £400 better off through received cashback for things like mobile contracts, insurance and general shopping.

    I'm not normally wasteful, I really hate throwing things out if I think they are fixable but I'm in the middle of a nearly -mid life crisis and feel like I need some new stuff :o Anyway...Daddy phoned me from ASDA in Perth...he found me a Bissell hoover for only £24.00 and it'll be with me soon :D

    The £490.00 cooker is *only* £338 in Boots so that will cost a total of £357.99 (inc p&p) but I'll get £13.52 back in advantage card points...does that sound fairly reasonable? :p

    Whoever said 'support local business' is off their head :cool: :D:p

    If you buy from boots kitchen appliances, you can go through topcashback for 3-4%... topcashback is similar to quidco but doesn't charge an annual fee

    My PaD today is £1 to the wedding fund. I'm seriously losing bridal enthusiasm!

    Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember


    Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. 'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks.

    'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?'

    'Sure.'

    'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.

    'No, I can remember it.'

    'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so's not to forget it?'

    He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries. '

    'I'd also like whipped cream.. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?' she asks..

    Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!'

    Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes,

    The old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment.

    'Where's my toast ?'

    Morning all

    Where's the sun gone!?!? :cool: hmm must be coming up for the weekend :(

    Angelic - I use Quidco all the time and I've saved £337 on car/house insurance and other stuff since I've been with them.


    Sorry Paul but men really are that bad :p my OH doesn't even bother looking for a present for me, he just tells me to buy something and he'll give me the money! And he never remembers anyones birthday - apart from his own!!!


    I had an argument with my ex about his lack of paying child maintenance from last month, he reckoned that he didn't have the money, he was skint, bearing in mind this is the guy that went on a 4 week holiday to Oz, Dubai, Singapore and New Zealand and just this weekend went away for 3 days! But he's skint apparently. He only pays £50 for DS4 now anyway, not a great deal, he told me I'd have to wait until he had the money, did I think he had a money tree in his garden - I won't tell you what I said to that :p but basically lost my temper and told him to stick his money where the sun don't shine and put the phone down on him, I really can't be ar5ed with the hassle anymore, even tho it means he gets off scott free again!!! It wouldn't be so bad if he even gave ds pocket money or bought him new clothes now and again but he doesn't. Just to add that he manages to go away about 3 times a year and at least once a month goes away for the weekend! Do I sound bitter???

    Pad today is £5 ISA, £3 OH and £5 cap1


    £13
