Back and Feeling rather ashamed!

scaredy_cat_2

hey pania - i haven't abandoned you i just find life quite hectic. I have 2 little ones aged 4 and nearly 2 and they have both been ill over last 2 weeks. YOu are doing fantastic with your challenge and great news about being under 30k!!

i have sold girls dolls house (they don't play with it honest!) for £50, but quidco insurance is still not tracking - do i not get it if paid monthly? I hope so it didn't say no and would have paid!! will do if doesn't track i think - if not showing by friday think will contact them.

have got bundle of stuff for ebay and 5 books - is amazon worth doing for 5 books? also wil ltry cds on play i think - thats to investigate wed night

oh also have been writing an essay - i have a tutorial at the weekend and 2 more tasks to do as well as sorting essay!!! so i might be back or it might be sat night!

take care and don't get disheartened that we are not here - thinking of it still

pania

Hey scaredy!! great to hear from you!! Wondered where you'd got to!!
Fantastic news on the dolls house, now tell me honestly, do they not play with it or did it get magic'd away overnight?:rotfl: only messing with you.

Of course amazon's worth doing!! every little helps! Just pitch your price so you get a profit out of it after posting and their fees, let me know how the cd's get on, got some old ones i've been considering selling myself but not sure on cd's!! so how are the little ones finding the bank holiday? bloomin weathers not been very kind to them, are they on half term now?

Re quidco, go back to the link to the company you used. On right hand side is a guide saying how quickly it tracks. if yours is outside of that time put in an enquiry to find out whats going on, my direct line tracked within 24 hours so should honestly be there by now. how much was that for hon? sounds like your totals building up!! well good luck and keep posting!! have a great evening:beer:

Hi Pania, I've not abandoned you either.

Well done on getting under 30k..that really is an achievement.

My quidco insurance is still tracking...so I think I will use that to start me off in our challenge.....now, do I have to wait until I receive the money before I count it? mmmm think I will have to check the rules of our challenge again.

Shame you don't live a bit closer, or I would be ringing you up to see if you fancied a coffee..and coming to look at the pony.

pania

hey there whatatwit good to hear from you!! how's things going?

So where abouts are you then? More than welcome to pop up any time you like. would be great to have a human being other than oh to chat to!

Poor little pony knackered my no spend day today. He has his summer coat, i went up there and he was shaking all over from the cold love him, cue emergency dash to only open saddlery in the area (15 miles away!) to buy him a rug, dashed back home got a nice warm towel from airing cupboard, dashed back to field and spent next hour drying him and adjusting rug to fit! no spend day turned into £26 spend day, but i'd happily go without if it meant my fella was ok. Do you have horses or animals yourself whatatwit?

Welldone on the quidco amount! don't think we fixed any rules on that, so open it to the contenders, do we count it when tracking/validated or count it when paid?

keep posting and hopefully hear from you soon!
Kind wishes

thanks pania - dd1 and dh on half term (he is a teacher) and dd2 too little

today they went out and about with dh as i spent whole day writing an essay!!

just checked quidco and barclays are slow says up to 29 days! unlike direct line which is 1 day!! so will hang on a bit longer -its £125 which would be great. I need to figure out what else i can get there - it is great

oh well off to bed now - with a 6am rise i need to go to bed early - the girls don't get lie-ins!

Hi Hypno!!:wave: Hows your day been? has been soooo nice of the rain to stop for an hour or so. Went up field prior to leaving this morn, DP had managed to remove his rug and leave in middle of field, all soaked and shivering again, silly thing! There's gratitude for you!!:mad:
