I’m a great advocate of this little site Quidco. Simply search for your shop on Quidco, click through to the shop using their link and make the purchase as normal. Within hours your transaction is tracked and a few weeks later it’s paid directly into your bank account. There are some great deals on there – I’ve recently cashed in on £70 when I signed up to O2 broadband for a year and £15 for LOVEFilm to send Free DVDs to me for a month.

In two years of online shopping we’re approaching £1000 cashback. Not bad for clicking a few links!

The next best site out there is HotUKDeals. For promotional codes, simply type your shop into the vouchers search box and more often than not you’re presented with a coupon code that will save you money. Search the site too as quite often other buyers will post good deals on your product.

2009 was a year I’ll never forget.
I married, honeymoon’d, moved to the south coast and even bought a Volvo estate. And I already know that 2010 will be another record breaking year for me.

Wishing all my readers a happy and prosperous year ahead. I am looking for bigger and more challenging projects in 2010 and am available now! So if you are (or know of someone) looking for a creative with a decade of experience please do me the favour and pass my details on.

I have found the latest version of Microsoft MSN auto quits when running on a corporate network. If you need the previous version which works fine, download it here
