    pssst IA theres a portable 14" col tv on stafford freecycle

    I think, in general, no specifics, there are budgets where portable 14" would fall well into the category of unrealistic and unsustainable budgeting. Sensible, sustainable budgets should make life easier and not cause stress, friction or disillusionment. Slim fast shakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner do not a healthy diet maketh.

    Oh I have just had a thought re quidco did you set a minimum amount for them to pay you. perhaps that's why you've not been paid.
    DEBT FREE 23/FEB/07 TWO YEAR's!! £2 £1020.00 Banked New total £268+ and counting SAVINGS 3000.00- ISA £30. :j
  • I have about £17 waiting to come outof Quidco..... it says it was paid on 1st Oct, so just waiting for it to hit my acc..... I think if its changed to Oct 07, that means it won't get paid til the end of Oct..... but hopefully u should still get the money in time for Xmas!

    Have u got any further convincing Ste that u don't need a new tv?
