    Yep saw the changes as well on Quidco, and have to say its more confusing than the old demo.. The only good thing is that on the main page it displays what you can expect on your next payment..
    Well done on raising £300 already, am sure you will be glad to see that coming in to your bank account...

    I did the same things as you with MM, and sent 5 packages.. Don't forget to ask your Post office to give you proof of postage (free of charge :p)...

    Froggy :j

    They would have been better having kept the old design with a new total next to it stating the next payment run.

    £220 of it was from one order of packaing bits, so it will hopefully be a regular amount.

    hadn't thought of that, although the past few items I just stick with our franked mail.

    Do MM collect if you have orders over X amount ? When I sold mine last year they did, they sent crates to send them in too which was better than finding boxes and even making boxes up made from cereal boxes!

    You've sold loads now LP - you sure your not a DJ in RL?:D
    I can't be bothered updating this anymore

    haha no not a DJ although I am sure I could do cheesey wedding DJing.
    In fact I haven't bought a cd or dvd in about 3 years but before than I was always buying them. Must have had 200+ cd's and even more dvds at the peak.... such a waste.

    Lucikly I have plenty of boxes at work to pick from but I imagine it would be a pain otherwise.

    We were the same and most cds were scratched so much they weren't playable. We were buying 2 dvds every weekend. Now we only buy what we want to keep.

    Scratched was never a problem, I was always a bit OCD with my cd's and dvds, with how i stored them and in what order :o

    But the OH is the complete opposite, she doesn't know what a case is for and I have found several missing entirely. Heavens knows where she has put them.

    At the time I thought "oh only a tenner" but selling them back now for £0.30 is such a slap in the face

  • Here is what I will attempt to do
    - Decorate the lounge
    - Clear the roofs gutters
    - trim our hedges (that in itself is a full days job)
    - Pull the remaining Ivy off the house
    - Create a spreadsheet to monitor our heating oil usage (not sure if we have a leak as the drains smelt of diesel when I cleaned them last weekend)

    So in the end i managed to
    - decorate the lounge
    - created the spreadsheet (need to print it off at work)
    - Swept the front drive (took me two hours and filled a bin and a half. Not sure if binmen will take it away its that heavy.
    - Done some more Music magpie, a couple of more dvds and games - £30ish

    haha, well the drive is quite long but the main problem is that its an old tarmac and has never been cleaned so each time it rains the drives gets very muddy and the kids bring it all into the house. So I got a stiff yard brush and collected up all the loose tarmac and got most (i hope) of the muck and cr*p too. The wheelie bins are so heavy now, I think I might have to empty some or i've be stuck if the binmen didn't take it.

    Oh and Morning Froggy :)
