    I made £85 on Ebay last weekend selling a couple of necklaces that I had lying around in time for Valentines Day :D

    That adds nicely to the Xmas fund :)

    Also have £38 on my Boots Advantage card and about £10 in Tesco Vouchers (£40 deals) and a few quid on my Nectar Card...

    And about a third of my shopping already done :)

    I need to "save" in excess of £47 per month to hit my Xmas savings target:eek: I am already a member of Rpoints & getting about £12 per month in "paid to click"'s, can I also join pigsback etc & do the same thing? Any suggestions welcomed!

    Cheers;)

    Pigsback is a definite! Also sign your OH up for it! I have had I think £30-40 of vouchers this year already from Pigsback (well OH has had half and I've had half... we both have accounts and I remind him regularly to go click bless :) )
    Survey sites are ok, I haven't found any that pay really well for the time it takes but still every little helps :) Ordered a £15 HMV voucher from https://www.testandvote.com last night :) and you occasionally get free stuff to test in trials :) I've done a washing detergent one and am starting a skin cream test next week :D

  • We have had £40 so far from Pigsback in 2007. £20 of that was Waitrose vouchers which we spent on Valentines.

    The other £20 is also in Waitrose vouchers for Crimbo 2007 - feels great!

    Just checked my progress - I've spent £316.41, but the RRPs come to over £660 :D

    I've got just under £150 worth of bits to get, with over £260 in the kitty :j


    Can't believe I've got organised so quickly - usually I'm struggling to find the money as each occassion comes into view, so to speak. This year, not only are all the birthdays already taken care of, but most of christmas too.
