    Lolo, I second Lynz. There's no point in having savings if you have debts, the credit card is costing you money in interest, pay what you can of it off and then you'll have the extra money every month that you were paying out on the card and interest spare (well spare'ish..if you're anything like me :p )

    Folks, just had an email from quidco. they're offering £140 cashback when you sign up. Also if you sign up before the 29th of june you get two free eurostar tickets. Not bad, eh?

    I managed to make another £61.75 matched betting today so this brings my total to £131.75. :T

    Thanks for the heads up re Pru Health, might look into that, is it like where you get cash back for dental stuff or is it like Bupa?? We'd been getting free NHS stuff but it runs out at the end of the month as our wages have gone up.
    Debts - [STRIKE]£9925.64[/STRIKE] £8841.88 :T Aiming to get below £9k by the end of Oct. :D:D:D November aim - sub £7.5k! :cool:

    no its like bupa.

    I got it last year ( my mum pays it for me, for now)

    If you are in the market for health cover, its a good one, as they cover preexisting health cover after 2 years whereas bupa doesnt cover at all.

    Sorry I was away hanging the washing from my windows there :rotfl:
    I don't know anything about it kbarty, have a peek at the quidco site for the details and things.

    I should totally learn this matched betting thing. I have to admit, gambling is one of my weeknesses, but I've always got a level head about it. Gala bingo must hate me by now. Back in sept/oct last year I joined their site, got my £10 welcome bonus and made £70 that day! My biggest pay out at bingo was £100 and the slots earned me £800!
