    I am definitly with you cinny on saving as many amazon vouchers as possible next year. OH always wants something technical for christmas and birthdays so amazon vouchers are great for him.

    OH wants a PS3 Keyboard.. or something like that? :huh: So I want to save up vouchers and get him that for his birthday along with a PS3 game. Brother is always after PS3 something too, my Mum and sister love books and my Dad is happy with DVD box sets so these Vouchers will help a bunch! Thankfully they last a year so I have awhile to pile them up.

    I know it sounds so cheap buying peoples gifts with vouchers, but hey, I put more effort into getting them than I actually do at work!:rotfl:

    I suppose! It's not as if they're going to know anyways, unless Amazon slips a note in saying 'Psssst.. This was bought with Vouchers.'

    Finally got everything sorted that I want to get at the Boots Event next Wednesday. After that I should have everyone sorted for Christmas :j
    Starting to look at the Canvas I had made for OHs family and thinking 'I should get Chocolates or something to go with that...' I think cause last year I got everyone something I'm going to feel a bit foolish turning up with one little package! If Asda churns out another '2 for £5' offer on the Sweet Tins like they did last year I'll go grab them one (give the second to my Pa!) but if they dont.. the Canvas will do..

    All done! :D

    Redeemed £5.01 from STP too, so I should have £11ish in my PayPal when it clears.
    Moved my Barry M Nail Paint review onto Ciao, and rated a couple reviews. Not been too active on there today so I'm not expecting many pennies tomorrow.
    Managed a NSD today too. *claps*

    Off to paint my nails now, re-reading the review has made me really want to use them!

    Morning!!

    Just checked my Ciao and I'm up 60p which isn't bad. Made and played through all my points on Bingoport too, at about 3900 points now. Was playing the Cinderella slots and I got those weird clickly mushrooms both times, managed to avoid the 'game over' mushroom and got all the points both times :T Hoo-rah!

    My parents have gone away for the weekend, my sister is working tonight and my brother is out with his girlfriend so I have the house to myself! (Well, myself plus various mental pooches) wanting to crack on with STP again, I know I redeemed yesterday but I was only on it for 30 minutes and earnt over £1.50 so i'm feeling in the zone again.

    Only one more sleep until payday! It's going to be nice to have all my wages rather than thinking 'Need to pay that off the credit card' so I've given myself a lovely big spends budget so I can have a 'free' week before I start saving again. Only seeing OH on Sunday this weekend so I'm mentally planning my free time on Friday night and Saturday. I can either go out shopping, or stay in and make money (walking above mention mental pooches inbetween) Oddly I'm leaning more towards the money making option. I think there's something wrong with me :(

    I think I made about 40p, can't remember how much I was on yesterday though am on £2.40 now though.

    That is a good idea to have a free week to spend what you want.
