    I need to amend my Tesco shop before it comes tomorrow, I am going to deduct some stuff and add what I'm missing and hope the amount doesn't alter too much!

    Good Evening!

    It's the big weigh in in the morning (cue scary music!).......sadpacer.gif I really hope I'm not too porky! If I'm under 12 stone I will be happy - doubt I will be though sad5.gif

    Here is the menu from today eda.gif

    Brekkie = bowl of sugarpuffs (no milk - I know I am a weirdo!) + coffee
    Lunch = Bowl of chicken noodle soup + small glass of coke (my life source, cannot live without it but I have REALLY cut down!)
    Dinner = HM Lasagne, 2 slices of garlic bread, spoonful of salad + small glass of coke
    Snacks = NONE!!

    On the money front - I am due to receive a mahoosive 33p from quidco at the end of the month ! It was supposed to be £5.33 but the b*ggers nicked a fiver for my membership for the year eviltongue.gif


    BIG CHANGE OF TACTICS for the DFWness - I have decided to put all my spare cash into a separate account until I go back to work - I am a poo bag basically and am scared that emergencies may crop up! I will pay minimum payments to both cards - then hammer BoS with whatever is in there on my return eekgrey.gif

    This will become the "Scared fund!" scared3.gif

    AM I A WUSS OR WHAT!

    You set it up with your bank details and it pays out any owed at the end of the month Woo.

    I think I set it to pay out, it said after a certain amount, so I put £5 as I wasn't sure if the amount I had earned included the £5 membership or if they had already taken this? Should I have set this at anything above £0?

    It said I had to wait ten days and I did this last week sometime, so will it just pay out at the end of the month via paypal?

    Stuff like this confuses me!

    That should be fine I used to have mine set at anything over £5 but recently changed it and any changes like you say take 10days if you do it to near the month end you will miss the payout until the next time.

    I just changed it to anything over £0, hopefully it will scrape through before the end of month payment, is it done on the last working day? I had also entered my bank details, which I had forgotten about!

    I'm owed £12.68, unless they haven't had their fiver, I don't know how you can tell?
