    Can't you get someone else to go pick the E11 one up? Just give them your drivers licence (if you got one) or a couple of utility bills? I used to work in Manor Park so would've gone for you but we've moved to SE1 now. Can't wait to find out if you've won summat!

    Can I join this?

    I didn't think I would be able to do it. But I've just looked at this months repayments and I am looking at just over the £500 mark. And to do it next month I only need to find another £32.66 from somewhere, hopefully Amazon sales if I can find some more stuff. Hoping to do a carboot to.

    Hope it's not to late x

    I've just been paid so all of my debt payments will go out by the 1st.

    Aren't I a lucky girl.... I was really organised and made sure everything went out in the first 2 weeks after pay day.

    Hey Lucy, welcome :wave:

    You are more than welcome to join, in fact anyone is!! Even if you don't get your goal amount, whatever you get will come in useful. I said originally £300 and then changed my mind to £1k...I know for definate I'm not gonna make that!! But it's fun trying!

    Scroll back to the beginning, there's loads of quidco clicks and links that you might find useful.

    Good luck!!

    Jo.x

    Hi Thanks for being so welcoming!!

    Here is a list of what I currently pay each month:

    Lloyds loan 1 - £242.82
    Lloyds loan 2 - £101.85
    Store card - £100 (will make this a bit bigger as I had holiday pay from work this month :D )
    Bed - £22.67

    Which makes £467.34 payments each month. I also have an OD with Alliance and Leicester (o%) which has all of my Amazon payments transfered into it.

    So I'm figuring I should be ok. I also have £27.00 which should come to me from Quidco this month (car insurance).

    I think finding the extra money should be easy enough. Will just have to work at it wont I. If I can do this for a couple of month the idea is that'll I'll be able to do it more often.

    If I have money left in my current account at the end of the month I'll transfer it off my OD. No interest but nice to see the amount drop.

    Why don't you stick it on the store card and save a bit of interest being added?
