Sice joining here (from August) my life has changed so much. I am now able to feed 5 of us for less than £200 per month, bonus we eat better and I've refound my love of cooking. We eat far more vegetables and fruits and ours meals using my new slow cooker are much more filling, healthier and varied.
I've saved £420 cash thanks to Noggins head to head. I have now realised that I can go PT self employed and give up my FT stressful job that I hate and enjoy some of the hobbies I used to enjoy.
I have nearly £300 in my quidco account. I've earned £150+ in betting and I've got xmas all sorted, £120 worth of gifts for £24 from amazon, Dahl CD colection £18.99 instead of £120, books from book club deals, free make up, £130 trainers for £5 for daughter, PS2 games for a fraction of the price for the boys and I'm making my own gift sets for family members, invested in a soap making set and a bath ball set, £20 in total but will make at least 15 gift sets, also collecting beauty freebees to put in the sets. I have money in the bank, money in the purse, still wittling my debt away, a fridge full of home made delights, new found hobbies, more time for the kids...ah can life get any better.... Thanks so much martin for changing my life.:T
