Thats what I need to do next, start buying for next year, or at least NOT spend the vouchers I earn throughout the year. I'm waiting on £30 of vouchers from one, another will be ready for a payout when they catch up on my surveys and I'm aiming for one soon on Swagbucks, I say as TV goes on in the background. :rotfl:You have to start to finish.

Thats great news on both the cleaning and tennants - even if its a little short. I wish my OH would tidy up even a little bit. I have today removed all toys from my DD's bedroom as she wont keep it tidy - hoping this will teach her to respect her things. If not its back to the drawing board
