Think I would be best switching to one account and dich the HSBC as they keep sending / ringing for me to take out another credit card.
Never used it mabel but been looking around the forums and alot of people seems to be getting some nice cash from it and I've seen alot of cash back details on offers/deals over at hotdealsuk so looks like a little job to sign upto that this afternoon.
As for the babysitting I don't know how people cope with them full time :eek:

By the way...if I told you guys I didn't do onepoll...I fibbed, just found it in my favourites and had £3.80 points, I've just made it up to £4.45 (i must have forgotton about it.) I looked around on my puter last night and discovered i do Ipsos surveys and I have £4.80 in points (350points can buy an argos voucher or WHSmith or Boots to the value of £2.00!!! So I have been surveying for them again too!!!

yep def check out quidco tubbs-ive got nearly £350 quid coming from them since january. you dont need to do anything different just go through them before buying car insurance, mobile phones,anything you buy online to see of your supplier is on there and you are sorted! takes a while for you to get the money but its free so who cares! They take a £5 per year admin fee but only out of your earnings so if you dont earn you dont pay. a fiver out of £350 aint bad anyway. The alliance and leicester account pays 8% credit interest and is recommended on here,sign up through quidco and you get £50 cashback.
cath its amazing what you find youve signed up for in the past and forgotten about!!!

just opened a cash isa with alliance and leicester (no cashback on isa's anywhere booo!) been lurking on savings board and that seems to be the best bet for starting saving up to the £3,600 limit. all ready for after xmas now!!
In case you missed the old posts tubbs i am planning on saving up for a new MINI after my debt is paid off-is there anything you are planning on saving up for? after xmas this thread is going to change to a new debt/savings thread so anyone who hasnt managed to be debtfree can carry on with the same people and those who have been succesful can start saving for whatever they are aiming for

jenjade

well done mm you are ready to save now. the barcleys tax haven is also very good! my tickets are on £36! 2 and a half hours to go

moneymabel

ready to save but no money to save lol!

cool ,so even if thats all they go for at least youve got your money back-i reckon they will get at least £75 quid
