    Xmas Saver!
    :santa2:

    I'm going to be mum2ones little elf :D


    I will help with setting a few fun craft challenges and little ones that help to save you a few important pounds ( or pennies)


    The craft challenges will run at the start of the month until 21st and then you have a week to show us your craftiness ;)

    The saving challenges will be on no set dates, just to keep us on our toes ;) These will link us, well those who want to link in with Jamtarts moneysaving to get money neutral thread which can be found here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1678781

    Since Christmas is the next big 'holiday' for us We will concentrate on this. But please feel free to add any other occasion thats important to you. Birthdays, anniversarys, even halloween

    Hi guys! Very excited by the shiny new thread! If you are feeling short of cash for the big day, I would urge you to come and check out how to earn a few extra pennies on the Money Making thread. This is the sister thread to this lovely new thread, and should be viewed as "complimentary" rather than "competition" - come and see us - we won't bite! :D (unless you ask nicely!!)

    Ok I have held back all day til now ....

    Count me in :) I may not do everything you ask me to but I promise to try :) I am also up for some challenges to earn money, my best one to date was set by the lovely Jamtart (who even shares my birthday :j) and she did an ebay challenge :)

    Does it have to be the 24th? Could it not be earlier?? does it have to be a folder? would a notebook not work?
    I have no folder ... yet but I have a few notebooks which is why I was asking.
