Go Lily Go - Paying off the mortgage

Hi Andi :wave:

How do Quidco get the money to me? They have my bank details so do they just transfer when they have the money? It has tracked now. £40 cashback!!!! That's amazing if I actually get it.

My monthly £200 has gone into pot plus £25 extra for working Good Friday. Ended up going out for dinner last night and I picked up the bill £55:eek: Going to have to be good for the rest of the month.

If I recall correctly, they will send it by BACS transfer (I haven't used Quidco in a while).

As someone knew to Quidco I still find the idea that someone will give me money for shopping a bit bizarre. Fingers crossed it pays up.:j

A rather expensive couple of days as have been treating MIL to lunch and dinner etc. She did buy me a lovely dress today which I feel bad about.

Also spent a small fortune on paint testers in Homebase. I am obsessed with the idea of having a mint and gold bedroom but I cannot find proper mint paint anywhere. Laura Ashley and Farrow and Ball had a few possibles but I haven't got around to putting them on the wall yet.

Hi LilyP,

Re quidco, the purchase tracks, and then goes to confirmed (if you click on the retailer link and scroll down, through the retailer stats, ie tracks within x hours, some of them say "guaranteed payment by 01 Aug 2013, or under 3 months" that will give you an idea of when it's due. When it becomes "confirmed" the following Wednesday the nice peeps at quidco do a bacs transfer into your account. It's generally in by the Saturday with first direct. :T

Well it seems I have a 6 month wait so I shall probably just forget about it.

Have spent most of the day avoiding the vile, cruel greed that is the grand national. If you bet or even watched it you should be very ashamed.

Ooh No, don't do that! Use it for daft things, I signed up to Ladbrokes casino on Monday. £25 free credit (now used) and £25 cashback. I love free money! :j

I didn't bet, or watch the grand national! I love horses, and enjoy watching racing on the flat, but the jumps scare me! :eek:

I am such a dumbo at times, I religiously put my nanna's lottery numbers on every 4 weeks. Just been in my purse, picked out the ticket and saw ....until 3 April! I thought doh, I have missed last nights draw :mad: then found another ticket, until 17 April, I was even :mad:er cos I thought I had wasted £4 I had duplicated two weeks tickets!! Anyway I checked the numbers (bearing in mind I had won ten pounds at Christmas) :j:j:j two lots of four numbers on Wednesday! £114 towards the overpayment pot, thank you very much!:rotfl:

It sounds like you are really getting some momentum going with your overpayments lily!

Hello,

Feeling a bit demotivated about Ebay as have had a few hassles with non payers and idiots. We have a big heavy item listed that for some reason will not sell even though it is a bargain price for what it is. Have now had 2 people offer a bit less but in cash which we have agreed to and neither have ever shown up.

Anyway lots of things ending tonight. Not much in the way of bids but its decluttering and every penny counts

Am also having a huge problem with Southern Electric who claim that I owe them hundreds of ££ from 2 years ago. Customer service is terrible and I refuse to spend any more time on the phone to them.

Sorry bit of a miserable post. Still cuddled up in bed with the cat and a cup of tea. We are waiting to hear from BF if has got his promotion. That will be very happy news indeed if he gets what he wants.

Hi Lily
You're doing so well, don't be disheartened with a couple of naff days! Hopefully your BF will sail into his promotion and all will be well! Get Southern Electric to phone you? That way it's their job to sort it out rather than you. Hope all gets better today.

Thanks Feeling Festive. I shall now get out of bed and stop moaning
