    yeah, just send the code by email to the winner.

    I did the Dennis Publishing deal for the Week mag on quidco. Do you just email them to cancel it?

    I usually phone and take the name of the person and double check by cancelling my DD on internet banking. Cant be too careful with these companies ;)

    Update:

    Just checked Quidco again to see if anything else had been tracked - now on £16.60 there!
    Also put a CDWow voucher up on ebay, currently going at £5.01!
    So new total is £21.61 (in 24hours, not bad!), it'll be hard to keep it up now....

    Hello!

    Can I join too? :o I've just had to borrow an extra £1000 more on my mortgage :eek: than I had budgeted for in order to get my roof fixed! :eek: I've only just got rid of my C/C debts a month or so ago (only debt is mortgage now) so don't have much in the way of savings. :rolleyes: I would like to have this amount saved to pay off by the end of March 2008 if poss so this challange would give me a helpful boost and help with the motivation no end!! I would like to go for (at least) the Bronze £300 in 2 months challange if this is ok?

    Thanks!
    Mortgage free as of 12/08/20!

    Course taka the more the merrier

    Well my day was going ok this morning got up TOO early to go to the job this morning, manage to get that done, then the 2nd job got cancelled, which I thought was a bit of a result if im honest, as I didnt think I had enough time today.

    So I meandered back home, and then went to the village to get some bits and pieces then the heavens opened, then i realised I LOST MY KEY! So Ive just spend an hour trying to teach the dog to get the back door keys off the side adn bring them. :o she hasnt watched enough skippy, she didnt. So I got soaked. then a neighbour came and broke me in. Releif. until I noticed that the dog has crapped on the carpet :wall:

    In the midst of all this my boss text me to see if I could do another job over the other side of london and i turned it down. I just coulndt be mithered. :o

    So Ill be carrying on this pm writing my report from this morning, then counting up the copper jar. But first, I suppose I better clean up the poo from my lounge and hall carpet :wall:

    God I'm going mad over this, thought I'd put in an early effort!!

    Just order 5 for £1 business mag so hopefully £10.40 will be tracking on quidco for that too.
    Did the other 2 consumer lifestyles comps at 75p each.
    Signed up to photobox, another £1.

    Also topped up a few on GreasyPalm, should be another £5.20 there once tracked (although you don't get anything from them until you have earnt £25)

    Registered for International Service Check too, GRG and TNS don't have much at all in my area so I thought I'd try that too.

    Will update signature once things are tracking.

    Good luck everyone! xxx

    Hi

    Well, just waiting for my amazon voucher to come so I can ebay it. Also spent £3 on the tombola at a school fair - won 4 bottle of wine & schloer and 6 books!! Will list on amazon in a min. The rest can go to charity - although I think I might read Change your life in 7 days before listing! :)

    Going well, finding a few different things to make some money from and am also nearly at £25 on Freefivers - about 80p to go! :)

    Hiya everyone!!

    Your all doin fab! I took a day to chill yesterday and revamp myself. I went out last night and did something very sad but hey it worked!! I took out a little bottle (cant remember the name of it but my garandad used one to carry his whisky around in) with vodka in it and bought a large coke in wetherspoons and poured it in when i WENT TOILET. sad I know but i went lubing all night and spent a fiver. I got into the club for free because I had a free flyer and some random bloke bought me a drnk in there. I refused about eight times (as I hate bein in debt to ppl :rotfl: well...ha ha u know what I mean)but he walked away with no intention of speaking to me or anything. I must look poor now. Me and OH are doin a carboot tomor morning half six UGH but hey its cash. Im goin to raid my nanna's house in a min to see what goodies she got for me to sell. im on a misson to De-clutter my life and get rid of my debt at the same time.

    Lynzpower u are working very hard :T and all ur cash will all come in at one time u know how it is!!! I've hit a bit of a wall now and im going to work on greasy palm and other websites. im quidco'd out!!!:rotfl:

    well done to all of u and thanks for ideas it keeps a girl in debt going!!:j I actually told my dad how much debt I was in 2 years ago.(nearly £30,000 but put half on moragage had no choice) He was quite shocked. :eek: but he seemed proud that ive delt with it on my own and not asked him to bail me out!!! woo. Im going to make this £1000 if it kills me!!

    Thumper stuart.... my bills are a £1096 my wages sometimes cover it, so making this money is called EXTRA. If I have ANYTHING LEFT of my wages it goes on food and stuff so this challeneg is to help me get rid of my det and all the money I save goes straight on my debt.:rolleyes: Diolch yn fawr iawn... (thank you very much)

    I havent got many tips but im happy to give any advice. Here's a list of the cashback sites i use

    topcashback.co.uk
    free fivers (please PM if ur going to join because I get money when u withdraw ur first amount):D
    quidco
    pigsback
    greasypalm

    When shopping on the internet I also look for discount codes ad vouchers as u can get money off things u were going to buy in the first place.

    when ur mum or close family want to buy things or do insurance etc ask them to do it through ur quidco im sure they will want to help u??? well my mum does

    any tips anyone else

    Hvae fun saving
