A woman possesed!!!

I've become a woman possesed,:eek: Today I have saved £500 on our 2 car insurances and got £170 cashback, saved £210:eek: on our buildings and contents insurance and got £120 cashback.
Opened a savings account for myself and one for DH and got another £40 cashback. Signed up for Gala bingo put £10 into the pot, got £20 cashback won £50 so £60 up.
So in two hours I've;
1)£350 cashback on my Quidco account
2)Saved £710 on ins:eek:

3)£50 bingo winnings.

What a day, just shows with a little bit of effort what can be done.
Oh and signed my DH up for the quit smoking thing on quidco and got 95p, every little helps and if he gives up smoking we'll be quids in.
Why didn't someone kick me up the backside earlier:mad:

    Congratulations you have done brilliant today. :D I think that I am going to have to try to follow your example because I have such a long way to go still except that I do not actually have any insurances to renew so I will just have to learn bingo. :D

    I can't believe how stupid I was, I thought that I wouldn't be able to change ins's etc due to my terrible credit history so just kept renewing. Having watched Martin's show last night, I (again) kicked myself up the !!!! and got it sorted. All these years paying over the odds because I thought I had no choice.

    fantastic! think of the hourly rate (-:

    Quidco is money for old rope, instead of going direct to insurance website you go via quidco. Every imaginable retailer is on there. I've got cashback on airport parking,travelodges, trains, John Lewis and Misco. It really is easy. Only costs £5 and since Oct I've earnt(?) over £500 for just going via there website.
