    Hi all

    trying to have a productive day here too seeing as though I'm off work again.

    Can anyone help? I'm trying to buy from Avon (christmas pressies) through quidco, but it keeps coming up with the code (quidco for the free postage, tracking and £5 cashback) is not valid - has anyone done this recently?

  • Morning everyone - it's nice and brisk here today. I'm on an NSD, which shouldn't be a problem. Transfered my overdraft over to my CC as overdraft much lower APR. Pay day next Monday and I still have £150 in my account - woohoo. I'm hoping that I'll only need £50 for baby stuff and the rest can pay the water bill and be put aside towards my car tax.

    :hello: Hello everyone.

    I'm stuck at work at the mo, trying to sort out an access database but it's not due to be finished until January. For once I can say i have too much time and not enough to do but I'll not broadcast that too loudly.

    Am actually doing all those jobs that you think are going to take hours / days and weeks, but for some reason they're only taking minutes to complete!!!

    Nicola,

    Wage at the end of the month is such a great thing and I have taken it as a sign that we've turned a DFW corner:D (rather than a sign that bills haven't been paid:eek:)!

    Is Natasha screaming for fun or teeth, Snaggles?

    It's her teeth, she's having a really rough time with them, poor thing.

  • Hi everyone,

    Good to hear everyone is OK (apart from little Natasha's teeth - poor thing).

    Well thought I would say a quick hi.

    I haven't been on here much the last 7-8 weeks due to the MBA final work, paid workload, wedding and honeymoon. So much has been happening!!!

    IA - great to see you managed your goal of paying off the cards - well done!!!

    I am looking for a new contract at the moment, so must dash off to check out the job ads!

    I can sympathise. K is nearly 9 months ( I think.. I lose count from time to time) and still hasn't got a single tooth.

  • Hi IA - sorry to hijack - but would you like some pyjamas for K - I have about 8 pairs aged 12-18 months, a couple are 9-12 months but are a biggish fit. If you would like them PM your address and I will post them to you xx
  • Today I have made £21 in 2 hours doing AQA, and have decided that the rest of the day will be spent sorting out my paperwork tray. You have just reminded me about cancelling mobile phone insurance IA - thanks. Must check and see if hubby's vanquis cashback has been paid out yet as well so I can get that cancelled (he hasn't even activated it).

    Morning everyone. Hugs and thoughts of chocolate to you all.

    I woke up early this morning, made packed lunches for both me and the OH and a HUGE Sausage Casserole for the slow cooker. Felt quite virtuous...

    Am now at work, but have very little to do here, but a million things I want to do at home! Am worrying about OH's credit file, as we applied for a 0% Goldfish card for him last week and he was turned down... am hoping that's just down to us moving house and our council not having yet updated the electoral role (December apparently).

    Yesterday I brought a very very long Feather Duster... and i STILL Can't reach the ceilings in our new place! DRIVING ME MAD. Damn cobwebs!
