    Hi Keiss - I only count Quidco money when it eventually hits my account. Some companies are faster than others at giving the commission to Quidco, I have some outstanding on there that I've been waiting for ages...well, have kind of given up hope on it now!

    well this is day 1 for me ,going to log back into mfp today as i find the calorie tracker works .
    dh is putting away the tree and ds ps3 goes upstairs today(think dh is reluctant to do this lol yes put away the tree but more so lose the ps3) so i can get my new wii fit plus set up for my daily work out .
    money wise i am going to use this as my grocery save normally £150-£200 a week on food,drink and takeaways for 2 adults 2 kids and dog and lots gets chucked and if i'm hoest its usually nearer the £200:eek:.aiming for £50 which i dont think i will manage but i'm going to try .
    so saving £150 x 16 is £2400 which also gives me a bit of leeway £400 to be exact scary when you think about how much that is .
    i'm also going to try and do the £1 a day challenge however i often dip into this for dinner an other school stuff :p
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x

    Just a query folks, when do people their Quidco cashback as savings? When you have it tracking, or when you get it into your account? Only started using Quidco late last year, so not had any oney through yet.

    Ordered a new phone last night from O2, with £100 cashback due...not showing up as tracking yet, but looking forward to getting it eventually!

    Need to track down and change our dog's insurance supplier. After going through our spending yesterday, discovered that we are paying nearly £40 a month on her insurance!! :eek::eek: Found other insurance @ £14 a month...much better :D
    She is nearly 13 now and only ever been to the vets for her annual jabs, so really a healthy mutt!

    Take care all of you venturing out into this foul day x

    It is best to only count it when it comes in. It is worth writing to them to challenge sometimes. I have just had a £36 cash back paid from last June. Pia Jewellery if anyone wants to who took that long. Also I find the 'instore' stuff sometimes does not register.
    Have had some shops go into liquidation before they pay:(


    Can someone briefly explain this thread to me.
    I have ????????weight to lose and April sounds such a lovely month to feel lighter in body and heavier in purse. Thank you

    Quite pleased with my start on the finance front. £56.88 to savings :D
    Not so pleased with my start on the weight front. Christmas & New Year have taken their toll and had a detrimental effect on the scales :eek:

    Must get focused on the wieght loss bit...
    I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions...

    Well just back from Kings Lynn where I weighted my self and wish I hadn't XX.09 is what I will admit to. If I don't shift 2 stone then I may not get my baratric sturgery. But at least I have a start now even if it was more than I expected.

    On the savings front a little better £50 from house keeping purse as I just spent £11 today cause we still have plenty in fridge and freezer. £5 pizza card and gift voucher which I estimate its value at £16.50 not sure whether I should include these I'm open to opinions, I also received £4 of lunch vouchers which will be included as I can use them at the big supermarkets. So a minimum of £54 saved so far
