    I'm not a professional shopper, viva.

    This is my Quidco since 2005/6

    I've only been using Quidco for the last four years. I save on average £500 a year.

    i just can't be bothered with quidco. i don't really like buying stuff online at all really, mainly because of the issues with getting it delivered. if they'll post it 1st class it's ok as i can get it from the post office on saturday morning, but if they use UK Mail or an equivalent courier service i cannot see the point in saving a few quid but then finding you have to be in on a tuesday between 9 and 5 in order to receive the item.

    I have to go out again. I HATE this weather. I'd consider hibernation if i didn't have kids.

    Might buy wine whilst out. And pasta. Fancy pasta, lots of it.

    Hamish is younger than me! I'd always imagined him as older than me. I wonder why?

    Ah! So it's not viva who's me, it's Doozer who's me.
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    I like rain, a fair bit tbh, but even i am bored of this. I am fed up of being cold and muddy and not being able to get stuff done.
