Just placed my first order with vista print 250 business cards with 21 day delivery for 3.62 i paid using my paypal? is this right lol? It kept trying to encourage me to buy other stuff which I was tempted to do lol but thought better of it.

Fingers crossed ive done it all right lol x

Yes, I pay the postage through paypal too.
Did you go through either topcashback or quidco? I always go through topcashback when I order with Vistaprint as the cashback you get is nearly always more than the postage charge.

Hiya.Have I posed in this new thread or not.OMG its so hard to remember at first,lol.

The V*sta print is it per calender month or per date?Did topcash back few days ago.Didnt get round to Qu*dco.

The offfers are per calender, - any freebies - they only allow 4 per order, so I what I do is order the 4 items, (use 21 day postage lot cheaper never wait that long), then go back in and get some more freebies,

Keep an eye out for their emails - pick up some really good bargains on them. (again 4 and 4 and 4 work on these as well) xx

Morning JJ, I've pm'd you about Topcashback. I don't use quidco so can't help with that one. I think I read Topcashback is better for Vistaprint as you get over £5.

Hope you don't mind me joining too. I think I introduced myself last year and then disappeared. Will try to keep up with things a bit better this year. Have joined the sister thread, so now I need to spend my savings lol
I already have a few christmas presents and a couple of birthday ones too. Recently taught myself to knit (badly lol) so thanks to pips mum I am definately going to try those chicks. Got a cross stitch to finish first for my sister whose 2nd baby is due in 4 weeks!!! I've hardly started so need to get cracking on that.

I just did a Vistaprint order too, only ordered two items, a pen and a bag for one of my nieces, will try to get the other three one each during the year. It came to about £3.60 and I went through TCB so hope it tracks.

Phew...OK ordered a Free Pen for Mum, Free bag for me (;)), and went through TCB.

Also signed up for email newsletter, so hopefully will be able to add to the Free pen throughout the year and get a nice wee stationary pack ready for mum at Christmas....Just need to check a few of her details so I can get the business cards etc too for her!!

Would like to get her:

Free pen
Business Cards
Notebook
Return label Stickers
Personal Stamp

Woohoo....:rotfl:

I would love to join you guys. This Christmas was the first I had not put on the credit card although I still spent far too much. I would really love to me as money neutral as possible this year.

I'm 35 years old, married, 4 year old daughter and another on the way in May so this year will be very tight moneywise. I also need to get debt free asap but this will take a few years.

I can knit and this year (once I have cleared some space) I would love to get out my new sewing machine and learn to sew. I want to make as many gifts as I can this year.

I have looked at the other thread and have started the Ebay challenge. I also have signed up for the opinion websites. I also mystery shop but this money is being used for paying off debt.

I have got my folder ready and over the next few days will write down all the things I need to remember for each month. My busiest month is January as my hubby, both in-laws and brother-in-law have their birthdays starting today!

I've been promising myself a sewing machine for years...and when I go to get one...I spend hours in different sites wondering which is the best one to get....then I worry I won't use it!!!

I have visions of making a Cath Kidson Quilt!!!! :rotfl:
I would be happy to make some lovely door stops and draft excluders for my family and my own house!!!

Too nervous to take the plunge and spend the money on a sewing machine though!! Is it a good idea???? Also need to declutter my study (which is tiny and will be used as my office as I work from home and any crafting I do!!!)
