    Good afternoon Elite

    As I have completed the Quidco bonus I have a question please. If my mum signs up for a quidco account but someone else (who shall remain nameless) pays for the purchases in their name, would QC be likely to pick up on this?

    Thank you

    Maybe from the cookies that get sent back? Or indeed if you had to query it? Could also have the defence of a family computer being used and logged in to the wrong account IYSWIM. From memory, TCB don't have an issue with you buying for someone else (in fact, they give you links on the RAF page that you can send to others if they are not bothered about signing up), QC say generally should be for your use.

    Feel free to have another special weekend at a time of your choosing as well (or indeed many special weekends and weeks), but please leave Christmas alone. Despite some of the comments on here, it is not just another day but a very special day (for our family and many others who believe, and I am not just talking about Father Christmas :santa2:).

    I appreciate people have different perspectives and that it sometimes presents challenges accommodating everyone's wishes - we drew the line when we had children that Christmas Day was for us, at home, and others in our family could join us if they wished (invariably not taken up as they have other plans). We then have Boxing Day or other days over the Christmas holidays where other parts of the family get together at our house or at others (sometimes hosted, sometimes sharing the preparation by bringing different items for the meal to share the load etc). The first year we did this there may have been a few noses put out of joint as it was not as we had done for a number of years, but as has also been commented, family traditions evolve (new family members, children, the passing of loved ones) and worrying about travelling huge distances, sleeping on airbeds or in unsuitable surroundings, and not enjoying it, is against the spirit and meaning of Christmas. Think what works for you/your partner/close family and what is ideal, then think of what others are wanting and if it is all possible - if not, see what compromises could work - it is give and take and generally solutions can be found :cool:. If not, then sometimes you have to do what is best for you and people (generally) get over it - our only rule was ensuring that no one was left alone as a result of the plans and it has worked out so far :A.

    Try not to stress out people, it is a fantastic time of year :xmassmile:snow_grin:xmassign::xmastree::rudolf:.

    Don't think it even matters what they were in store if they were undelivered and not subbed does it?

    Got rid of few bags of clothes to charity shop today, had packed couple of things of DD2's which I was 99% sure she didn't want so asked her to text back asap.

    Had not heard from her by the time I had parked up so took them out of bag, I take one step in front door when I get back home and get message saying no she doesn't want them anymore. :doh:

    My Granddad went to see the Doctor 2 weeks ago he was feeling a bit sluggish so the doctor suggested he should walk 1/2 a mile everyday now we don't know where the hell he is.
