    Hey Everyone,

    Starting to get really bored of people touting their referral links now, lol. Can we all please listen to Aesop!!! She is the boss, after all! :p

    Great day for me today :) I had a loan from my Credit Union to help pay for xmas last year (:o), I just paid it off by standing order each week, never actually going in, or checking the account. Gave them a ring last week as I've been checking all of my old accounts, and I'd apparently overpaid my loan so had £98.10 sat in the account :j:j:j Collected today and cashed at the post office. Never had any joy with things like this before so I'm very happy at the moment :)

    Also £1 from using my Advantage card points to buy some cough medicine. Couldn't believe the price of some of them - most were almost a fiver! :eek: Thank goodness for Boots own brand, lol.

    £70 cashback from Quidco. We bought car insurance from Aviva with the offer back in September. Despite Aviva's questionable reputation for dealing with claims it was a calculated risk but we have 10 years no claims discount so a measured one, and that incentive persuaded us.

    You may want to re-think this while you are still in the cooling off period. We were with Aviva for a couple of years - we went over to them with over 10 years no claims.

    A couple of years ago, we swapped over to the AA who were cheaper but Aviva would only confirm 5 years NCB, because that is their maximum discount. AA's maximum discount is 9 years - one of the highest, so although the insurance was cheaper, we still ended up paying £100 more than it should have cost due to losing the additional NCB.
