Christmas

Hi all.

Im looking to spend out for Christmas this year, but hoping to do it in installments. Does anyone know of any catalogues (exept Littlewoods, JD Williams etc) that can offer me this service.

Either that, or does anyone know of anywhere that can supply me a loan for £500ish with bad credit (exept Provident!)

Any hidden jems people may know about is what I am after.

Regards.

M x.

    Stick some money every week in the bank

    Never saw a catalogue item that was not cheaper elsewhere.

    Have to agree. You will pay either more when you buy, or more over the months "spreading the payment". Just put some by each week and you'll be surprised how easily it adds up.

    Alternatively do a Christmas with 'things' rather than big gifts? Take them places they want to go and just give them smaller gifts on the day? As a kid I never wanted big presents, the media seems to put the pressure on us to buy big and it shows we love our kids...don't believe the hype ;)
