    Yes, el, the kids will be with me, and if it all ties up with half term then we could certainly stay on a bit. I could do a day or two of the WHW quite happily, and the children will certainly be willing.

    How do you all make so mych on Quidco - I really struggle - e.g today was looking at car insurance and going via quidco made it more expensive, ie. it was cheaper thru comparison websites.
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    CG - sometimes I walk - as fast as I can, and generally on an incline to get my legs working hard! Today I did 30 mins jogging, with 10 mins walking to warm up and down. I do find it harder than being outside on the roads, for running, but if the weather is foul or it is late, then I am more likely to exercise on the treadmill, which does at least mean I am doing something!

    RMC, I have £50 from carphone warehouse from when I took out a new phone contract for DD, and £50 from virgin from when I redid my life insurance after OH left. The other stuff I get is literally a few £ here and there for booking things like travelodges, trains, and if there is a body shop offer on here etc. I have made about £1500 from it since I joined MSE, but I can go several months without getting anything because sometimes it just doesn't work out cheaper.

    Madredcurls - I check using the comparison website then check to see which are on cashback sites using the MSE cashback checker and if it costs a fiver more but I get £30 back it's worth it.
