    Good news about the bread mixes could get some for mum's hamper:j she has a bread maker.

    :eek::eek::eek: to Quidco and topcashback we obviously don't spend much online we don't even get out of double figures. this year total for quidco £7:rotfl: must admit tend to favour Topcashback but even that think highest was £70 something. SO well done you :j :j :j
    Cheers AH - We bought our bread maker from Amazon using cashback from TCB :)
    It's not just spending although I have trained my 2 teenage daughters to use TCB whenever possible ;)
    I got was £120 from Lloyds TSB a few years ago for Home Insurance - ended up only paying about £30 for the year :D
    Swapping utilities has netted £100's and I swap car insurance most years for 2 cars as well.
    I've done most of the betting sites £100's again (I'm not a gambler, don't even do lottery - I followed the instructions on MSE to lay the bets off - couldn't lose!)
    American Express have paid me £100's for taking out various credit cards which I later cancelled except 1.
    I got £50 from a Post Office account glitch.
    £151 from Expedia for booking New York hols with them.
    £130 from Vodaphone
    £88 from National Trust - they kept c0cking it up
    etc.
    etc.

    Just like glitching and comping it just takes a bit of effort and brain work but well worth doing :D
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D

    Doc :D how are you adjusting to A's from T's?

    I am borrowing your list :D:D :p

    Of course you can have my list why do you think I posted them:D

    Now then tekco... its their loss really not mine:p:p:p, I don't gain anything since it gone to JTD system just target shop to get it cheaper & save fuel (not much different). I always like SADA they are friendly bunch (the one I know). Whereby tekco I have to kowtow/wipe their bum!!! to those "friendly" trouts in order to use any sort of mocs inc. their JTD.

    Will refused to go tekco for good now - I still have 3 big supermarkets to go to. Don't need them:D unless....... BP give me fuel petrol:p then I will pay them a visit before BW reported me to them:cool:

    Lol, it's been a long time since my OH has been called DH :rotfl:

    First it was - yes darling
    next it was - oi!!
    then it was - DAD!!!!

    I never call my OH by his name unless we are out with friends/families. Then I will have to call his name because if I shout out Oi! or Dad! can you imagine how many will turn around & look at me:rotfl:

  • Hi AH

    have you used any of the 5 Beans yet. I used my first tin last night for tea, made a casserole, but when going glitching I keep forgetting to get much veg.

    Used potatos, carrots, onion, sweetcorn and a tin of 5 beans with the minced beef and then made dumplings and it went down really well. The beans really thicken up the casserole and it was lovely.:)

    take care hun

    CWxx

    CW, can I cook the above using slow cooker? Did you drain the beans before using or did you just chucked them all into the casserole. x

    AH - I don't use quidco but I do use TCB for ebaying & insurances & you will be surprise how much you get back.


    Insurance itself I can get £70-£80 cashback.

    - ditto - also they scammed me £80 co-op cashback & I was not happy so I told them to closed my a/c & that was 2 years ago.

    Did you get £10 cashback for recommending your DDs to open an account? I did.
