When I do daily clicks, I find it easier tosearch for simpler items, such as whisky / ds lite/ ds - as that way you have more chance of getting a site up to click. x

I have a notebook in my handbag from this Christmas so will be adding the list for next year to it too. I don't have many birthdays to buy for, one Grandson's birthday is next week and OH has said he will get that present. The next birthday is not until March so will be paying off some of my daughter's holiday money in the meantime. Want the majority of that to be money neutral if I can as well as the gifts for this year. Had another payment from one of my daily click sites today so now have £40 to pay off it leaving £140 (I think) to pay.

Hi, I am really hoping thsi helps me, I LOVE buying and making gifts but always get completely carried away and end up with piles too many gifts and even more in my overdraft. I'll try to be different this year. Money neutral sounds good to me jamtart, I'll give it a shot!
Mel- I adore all your creations, I've just started making my own cards but they are a bit plain, I want to jazz them up a bit but not sure how, I think i'm going to have to look at other peoples cards and steal their imagination!

Hi
I started the year with good intentions to try and be as money neutral as I could but I've just found out that my DH has thrown away an envelope with £60 of tesco clubcard vouchers in :eek: I was going to use them towards presents this year. Oh well it was a good intention.....

pinkladymel

Skiergirl can you give tesco a ring? I think they can reissue the vouchers as they have a unique barcode and they know whether you have redeemed them or not x

Thanks to everyone who has voted for me and paid compliments.. argh I am so not used to it you guys just make me blush every day!


Goochie I am glad to hear your doggie is on the mend x

:T THANK YOU :T

I had no idea you could do this but its worth a phone call to find out :j

Update - Tesco will add all unused points from the past 2 years to my current points so I'll get them included in my next mailing (approx £50 worth).
Pinkladymel - I wish I could thank you 100 times for this :j:j:j

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if any of you can help me with some questions about these magazines? Today I bought quick and crafty and you can craft. I was wondering if anyone knows whether you get the free gifts every month if you subscribe? Or if anyone knows a better craft magazine to subscribe too?
I made a mother's day card today and valentine's card today so im getting more organised thanks to this thread and on the money neautral front I bought a gift for my friends birthday using my boots points!So today i am very happy!

I've given in on the sealed pot i will put 50ps in the blue piggy that OH brought me home as a pressie a few weeks ago (was far more useful than the high viz jacket that was his last present think lollypop lady and you've got the idea!) and try to resist counting it. I already put smaller coins into a plant pot that DD made me ages ago and pay it into the bank when full.

I've done my notebook and also written all the cards I need to make on a calendar which I've hung in the downstairs loo. I always forget to check my filofax so will have a bit of light reading in there now :rotfl:.

Can I just offer up another huge thanks to you all as I cleared away all the xmas decorations today and rather than being left with a mountain of housework that had been hidden by decorations, I whipped round with a duster and hoover and even OH noticed how much tidier than usual we are.

I did get a roll eyes when I'd got another birthday pressie in the WH Smith sale . Don't think I'll tell him about his birthday pressie am just waiting for Amazon vouchers to arrive and then will get all 6 star wars DVDs for about £2 cash spend .

Just need vodaphone to part with the £90 cashback they owe me and will just about have DDs Wii fit covered for her birthday if not eBay here I come.

Am I the only one missing the lists? - can we have one occasionally so I don't get withdrawal symptoms - could have done with a back to school list this morning was tearing about finding bits of PE kit, water bottle and dinner money :rotfl: and still forgot to pay trip money off to do that now

OOOhhh, a shiny new thread, me likes!:T
Well, you've all inspired me with your crafting that i'm going to have a try making a scrapbook with my little girl of her lif so far. Got some a3 pads reduced in a bookstore that's closing down near me, down to £3 and they're really good thick paper too! so had to buy 2 obv.:p
Now I want to get some cheap stamps and patterned sheets of card-any ideas of somewhere cheap?
If this one goes well i may even do one for someone else as a christmas pressie...or maybe Tyla can!:D
Hope everyone and there doggies are feeling ok x
