    restricted - just an idea, but you could make some money and spend it as soon as you got it on presents, that way there`d be nothing to hide. Just gifts for future occasions.

    That's what I'd do too. That way you aren't in danger of him spending it and it being wasted and also you aren't having to worry about hiding it from him. My DH used to be a nightmare with my Paypal and Amazon accounts, always asking if there was any money in them as I once let him use the Paypal to buy a t-shirt. However, he's now realised that Christmas has been a lot less stressful since I started saving up vouchers and money and he is appreciating the fact that if he spends everything I save then we're not going to have a relaxing affordable Christmas! He still takes money out of my change tin but I've now got myself one of those tins that you need to open with a tin opener so that should stop that too :rotfl:

    Thanks giggles, I thought someone had mentioned that they would pay on friday, at least monday isn't too long to wait, I bet I made a couple of spelling mistakes though which would disqualify me, have to wait and see ;)

    If you check your shopping.com profile you should be able to see if the reviews have been published. I've just checked mine and all 5 are showing as published so I'm pleased :)

    Hi all

    Stepmum hope your back is better today, nothing worse than back pain

    Esmer fingers crossed for the house :)

    restricted your cakes are fab well done you

    Well done everyone on you bargains this week, I have now finished all my birthdays and mothers day presents, got a hair cut from groupon for my mum which was my last, I still have my own children's but that is a hubby funded thing so not bothered about saving on that ha ha, going to keep an eye open for prom day prep stuff for my daughter on groupon the next few months so hopefully save something on there

    I have managed to link my blog items with paypal today, loads of people kept asking how much etc so needed a way to do it, tried the facebook page but its a bit useless with the postage, although I still need to work on that too on the blog,why is nothing straight forward :D

    Going to finish off my orders tonight then play with some new stuff after I do my emailed surveys, then will spend tomorrow on looney, close to 31 opinions on a couple of things so hopefully they will come soon, got loads open again :)

    Going to list my stuff tomorrow evening on ebay and fingers crossed some sell :)

    enjoy your evening ladies

    This time, your shop would have been £ 14.86 cheaper at ASDA so we'll give you a voucher for double the difference back!

    Thank you Mr Tesco............ So I now have a 29.72 voucher from the lovely Mr T. :)

    Oh some people.............. they can be easily wound up!

    Not sure I can be bothered with looking for the bargains. If I do get a DTD voucher I will. I dont Need two roasting tins........ or 6 bottles of wine, false economy. ;)
