    I have been on Quidco to get some quotes for my contents insurance which is up for renewal next year. I can go with Lloyds TSB or Barclays for a bit less than I currently pay but earn £120-125 cashback :)

  • I've bought some more Stardrops and microfibre cloths (see the Old Style board).

    not exactly today but went to the local market at the weekend for cheapo meat and fruit.

    Oh and not so good - I have a stomach infection but saving money by not being able to drive to work and not wanting to eat :(

    PS our council asked if we wanted to pay over 12 months, which we are going to do as our council tax has gone up again FOR WHAT??

    But the OH has just taken the first steps towards investigating our council tax banding..

    Debt-free and Proud!
    I'm having a very positive day (often can't think of anything to post on this thread!) but I have:

    * Done my piggy clicks
    * Finally applied for the &More card with low LoB
    * Persuaded my work to pay me extra for work I'm already doing (v.v. pleased with this one!)
    * Eaten loads of biscuits at work instead of buying a sandwich cos I forgot my lunch (not very healthy, but hey!)
