    Hi everyone, hope you and sundry pets/children are all ok.

    I am very excited because quidco say they have paid out £218.62 today :j

    £130 of it comes from renewing car insurance, and the rest is from ebay (click through quidco before you buy anything on ebay) and about £61 from various bookies that I signed up to for matched betting.

    So tip for newbies doing matched betting - go through quidco, it takes a while to come through but it is money for nothing added to your matched betting profits. Can't be bad!!

    The children were very hot and sweaty but had a fab day. They went swimming in the local broad at lunchtime then carried on skiing until 5.

    When they got home they discovered they had won a prize of £25 for "best smilies in a blog" on a snowsports website they post on - that takes their total of prizes from this site to £70 this month!! They have far more money than I do, and I think I need to start asking for a contribution from them towards the cost of broadband :rotfl:

    There is another prize on offer tomorrow from the sponsor of that site they use, for the most improved boy and most improved girl at race camp this week. £50 each! So both are working really hard hoping to win the dosh. DS said on the way home from race camp today "If I win the £50 tomorrow, dinner is on me - takeaway".

    Obviously he is fed up of living off pasta and mystery shopping fish fingers :o

    Good luck to them!! Would they let two siblings win the prize though?

    MY DD2 recently won a £10 voucher for a sports shop - unfortunately it's a really expensive shop and there's nothing we can afford even with the voucher!

    Well, there's only 2 boys that can qualify (only those registered with this particular website are able to win, although there are about 40 on the race camp altogether) and only 4 girls, and I have one of each so still a reasonable chance of getting something!!

    I know what you mean about the voucher though, we have some vouchers towards ski equipment - it is just the other 90% that needs finding :eek:

    Pania, I can be with you in 20 mins if you fancy some extra ironing to be doing while MSE is offline tonight :confused:
