oooh. hint I just got from friend... type your xmas list into your mobile, then its always there and you're never hunting for that little piece of paper with everything written on (which no doubt will end up dogeared by December) and also easy to update as you go along!

A couple of things... 1) Is it bad to 'recycle' unwanted presents? 2) Also, What is Quidco? Ta.

Haha I don't think my phone has enough memory in it to fit my entire Christmas list in it! :rotfl: I have a little notebook, but for now I can remember most of the stuff and it's not too urgent so I haven't been carrying it around with me.

I don't think it's bad to recycle unwanted presents at all, it's in the spirit of MSE, and it's better than it just being stuck in a cupboard without being used. This way someone else will hopefully get some use out of it. As already mentioned, just make sure you don't give it back to the person who gave it to you in the first place!

I often use unwanted pressies I've had just so long as I remember who gave them to me............lol:T
Pop into the charity shops and you often see things in their that are all wrapped, never been used so someone didn't want them.............I try and get most of my bits from there (miles away from poundland or anywhere like that) and can soon fill a basket or shoe box with interesting bits

I have my Xmas Lists on my blackberry, then at random times when someone asks, i can whip it out and inform them of what i have already done / got to do and it means i dont double up on people's presents.

Does anyone know how to get my Tesco Clubcard set up so it only pays out points at Christmas? I know that you used to be able to do it, but get the feeling they may have stopped it because when I rang them up, they said I had to get it done instore, and Cust. Services said I had to speak to Clubcard! AARGH :mad:
