    How long does it take for your quidco payments to be tracked, the daily searches I do update really quickly but I have just bought stuff from the hut and pushposters and received confirmation that items have been shipped but still no sign in quidco... :confused:

    Am I just being impatient :o

    you can check on the quidco merchants page - look up your merchant, and it should say how long tracking takes on average. Maybe remove your cookies if you've visited a site before, to ensure that it goes through quidco.HTH

    I keep asking my OH for cheques instead of presents for my Birthday/ xmas, but he wont be said. He has the misguided notion that I should be given something frivolous for myself

    My OH is like that too - I got all my cheques from parents/aunts/uncles etc!

    Didn't have many presents to open, but I regularly do the competitions listed on this site and a couple of weeks ago I found out I'd won a iPod Nano! It arrived the day before my birthday, so I feel like I've had a nice treat for myself and don't need to spend all my birthday money on clothes and shoes!!!

    Bit of a slow progress week this week. As I was off sick last week, it means that I don't get my weekly paycheque from job 2 (job 1 pays monthly)as it's a temp job and I don't get sick pay. Thus I don't have much to pay off debts, and as I am short of cash, haven't really got the funds I need to start matched betting - so it's holding me up somewhat! :mad: I'm also frustrated, because my amazon sales have really slowed down - from the £300 pcm I was making when I started, I'm now down to about £140, even though I have more books listed!! Nonetheless, about £70 from amazon is currently winging its way towards my bank, which is better than nothing. I've got four items listed on amazon, and two are green - they're all clarins items though, ending Sunday, and I find that these things tend to get lots of bids in the last few hours, so fingers crossed! Hmmm. what else? I think that's about it thus far... what were my goals again? **toddles off to check!**

    Just paid another £100 from tutoring off my egg loan - it means I'll be VERY short until next Friday, but I really needed a 'hit'! Plus if I have no money in my purse, then I can't fritter it can I?

  • Hi all, just want to say a big WELL DONE for your excellent efforts. I was too late to join your challenge but am keeping my own debt diary which is along the same lines- and I have £18K and more to get rid of!

    I'll be watching this thread with interest and I too WILL get my head around matched betting and WILL do it in October once September's pay date has come around.

    Keep it up guys, you're doing brilliantly x
