    God this website is addictive!! I'm going to spend tomorrow night joining all the quidco etc and add my debts to my signature. I guess its a good way to not bury my head in the sand!

    :j Good for you LM. Updating the signature becomes an obssession in itself! :rotfl:

    And its a fab feeling when you see the debt going down.

    Hi Little monster, it is addictive isnt it? but at least its a positive addiction! Rosie has been so good today i'm beginning to think someone swapped her in the night! i'm sure she'll be back to normal soon though:rolleyes:

    Jenjade, yeah definately cut them up, i would wait until quidco cashback has been paid before cancelling just to make sure you get it. Not sure about credit score, shouldn't affect it unless you apply for loads of cards. 2 should be fine ,then wait 6 months and try another.:D

    Hmmmm just found "Love Films" on quidco. If you join and complete the free trial thingy you should get £15.50 back.

    It says you can cancel the free trial within 14 days, but im wondering if you have to "rent" a dvd before it tracks in Quidco?

    It says it normally takes 1 day to track so if its not there by Friday i may have to have another lookise.

    But looks like a good one if you havent done it!

    Thats great Amy. Wish that deal was around when I joined Love Film, never mind. I always rent my dvds online, so much cheaper than spending £3.95 a film at Blockbusters.

    :hello: All

    Some good news:

    I have "potentially" got £53.50 tracking in Quidco, with another £10.50 winging its way to my bank through a bingo win.

    And i have just been told by my employers that I am getting a tax rebate for just under £200 (i paid emergency tax for 2 months wages here).

    Looks like my credit card bill is going to be going down a hell of a lot this month! :D
