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...

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.HTHOfficial Debt Free Wannabe Nerd Club member 095! Debt Now:

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!**Official Debt Free Wannabe Nerd Club member 095! Debt Now:

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?Official Debt Free Wannabe Nerd Club member 095! Debt Now:

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 xDebt at highest May 2006: £27,472.24
