Yeah, I got that and the £5 off when you spend over £25, about an hour after
spending £117. I did get £7 quidco cashback though!

Ever though of using tool station, i used them for the first time a few
months ago, there a lot cheaper than screwfix (in my experience), and
the quality appears to be the same, not sure if the range quite as big
though

And that's the crux of the matter IMHO: often I've put together an order
on Toolstation only to find that something I need isn't on their list.
So it's over to Screwfix for that item, whereupon I then end up with two
separate orders, probably now both below the minimum "no postage"
charge, and the hassle of waiting around for two deliveries rather than
one. Consequently, it's usually Screwfix who get my business.

If you're a quidco member (and as a regular S'fix member, why wouldn't
you be?!) then if you login to S'fix via quidco you'll find the
necessary code to enter to get your 10%.

Oh you're missing a trick there. Gives you 7% off all anything you buy
from Screwfix just by logging on via their site (www.quidco.co.uk).
They do deduct £5 annual membership off your earnings, but that's
trivial in comparison to the savings.

There are loads of these cashback sites around; I'm a member of about
four I think, which covers most online shops which are subscribe to
these schemes, and I would say most of the online shopping I do goes via
one of them. Take out an insurance policy or a mobile phone contract
this way and you can often find you get a £50 kickback on top of any
other discounts or deals.

if toolstation had a trade counter/shop in nottingham, i'd use them, but
AFAIK they dont, so i go to the screwfix one, as when i want bits for a job
i want them right now, not the next day when i'll be doing something
different.

Same here. Biggest problem is someone being home to accept the parcel, very
tricky in my circumstances as Mrs Handyman works as well. Then you have to
run around picking it up from the carrier. Big pain if SF don't have the
item & you have to go back next day.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

Without enquiring further it says Topcashback has no annual fee .

It's like the "online" version of those discount cards that you get(
or used to get) and you took them in to shops displaying their sign
and you got a percentage off the purchase price .

Yep, fair comment: there are plenty of sites who don't - I think
quidco's the only one of mine who does, actually - however quidco does
seem to cover more retailers than the others, ie if you rule out quidco
of your 'armoury' then it's likely you'll end up not getting cashback
from some sites. The other thing is that quidco automtically pay up by
BACS monthly IIRC, whereas other sites might wait till you reach a
pretty high threshold before letting you claim your cash. So it's not a
good idea belonging to 25 different schemes and spreading your cashbacks
over all of them - so I use quidco as my first choice.

I clearly need to get out more, don't I...

There was an article recently where someone got their car insurance for £14.
The premium was £114 but they went through quidco and got £100 cash back!
