    Good tactic, think I'll steal it. Similar happened to me but with Mrs SJ volunteering me to eat a tin of 50 hot dogs as someone else had failed. As you can imagine I'll do anything for £10...
    MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......
  • ....so the question is, did you do it?
  • Just applied for coop account via quidco £80 for cash back. If you switch you also get another £100 but I'm not going to.

    This is going to be the start of my accounts to get switching bonuses so I'll keep this account for 6 months then switch again when a good switching deal comes up. I need an account to put money in for a few expenses I don't account for (car mainly)

  • If any MFW with blogs would like to collaborate PM your details.

    I'm getting 100-250 views per day and would like guest bloggers involved and who better than the MFWers. I'd prefer a different theme to my blog to mix it up and will better promote the guest blogger.

    Let anyone know my details if you know anyone.

    Reading the very small print it looks like you might need to fully switch to get the £80 :(

    At least I've got an account to switch next time now :)

    Today has been good. A NSD to boot.

    Went to a county show, it rained and rained and rained. We had comp tickets and access all areas so used them and sat in the grandstand to watch the entertainment in the ring completely dry. We took a packed lunch and drinks so not a penny spent.

    Went and saw all the animals, the vintage tractors and all the other free stuff.

    On the way back picked up a load of free windfall apples. Currently cooking them to freeze in portions.

    Played monopoly when we got home but miniOCC kicked off and we had to give up after about half an hour. A normal game monopoly in our household :rotfl::rotfl:
