    yummy-mummy-amy .............Target hopefully £200 by November/December All the very best Amy with your OH, your problems and getting your finances sorted out.

    Great news on the Quidco extra, sparky, can't want much better eh!

    Bebs, it's not the kind of addiction that needs treatment for, so stick with it and suffer!!!! All the best with the gold, but do take note of sparky's advice and his words about your mobiles.

    You reckon HC?? Holds promise with a brolly over me if tis raining!

    Apologies, keza, I'd forgotten all about the wedding! Well done in that case! Good luck with the toiletries challenge, keza, saving as a result too. Always good to see old faces, so to speak.

    I love the joy you're getting from your pot, heretolearn, enjoy your peeping!

    Hi blue_eyed_girl, yes, you do have to register with Quidco, go to their site at quidco.com and have a read through, though sparky may well see your posts and help you more.

    Have a good afternoon and evening all, I'll be back later, keep saving.

    Only a likkle tincy wincy 5p in my pot today :( ....... and that was from a find on the floor ! :o

    Problem is, I'm not actually spending any money (which in itself is a great thing!) but it means my pot is growing very slowly. I tend to use my debit card quite a bit so maybe I ought to draw hard cash out instead, might be a better idea, especially for groceries :D

    What a brilliant idea Az - i might try it here :rotfl:

    No pickings for the pot so far today. Been shopping this morning and wilkinsons seem to have good offers on cleaning stuff if you are into that sort of thing :D

    My car ins is due in a few weeks and I was thinking about using quidco as it seems to have been mentioned quite a bit here. Could anyone advise me on the best way to go about things - do I have to register with quidco and then search for ins quotes via them - I look forward to any advice you can give me.

    Snows falling thick and fast so any roadkill will now be undercover - shame :(

    Byeeee

    Quidco is a brilliant cashback site, you do register with them give them your bank detail and set your minium payout to £10, once this has been earned they pay out towards the end of each month, straight into your nominated account, you can also do upto 3 comparethemarket.com quotes per year at £1.50 each go into your Quidco account, they charge you £5 per year to be a member, but take it out of what you have earned, since I became a member 2 years ago I have earned almost £1200 from them at a cost of £10 to me, it's definitely a winner as far as I'm concerned. The website is www.quidco.com I've told all my friends about it, some just say it's too good to be true and won't use it, others are coining it in. Hope you have success with it, good luck ;) P.S. if you're on benefits it doesn't affect them because it's seen as a further discount by the DFW&P. HTH
