Send our best wishes to your dad Skiergirl and I hope the hospital visit goes well and that you don't need surgery after all.

Happy New Year hun. Have a great time, and we'll 'see' you when you get back.

Definitely! I will share all my finds with you all! I had some coupons for a free bottle of ginger beer and I ended up with 6 bottles of it, so I got a wine box holder and put them in there and gifted them to my dad! I can't stand to pay full price for anything!! x

Some of my family members save their tesco clubcard points up until Christmas to be able to double up and have lots of vouchers to do it with, does anyone else do it? x

I think most of us have done it at some point Hollie. I usually spend mine on day trips to Legoland etc, but I've got enough saved for a holiday to the Algarve or Tenerife. Just need to find the flight money. I'm hoping to have saved enough CC points to pay for those too.

Hi TheBrowns - welcome to the thread hun. We'll have you money neutral next year, but you need to stick with it. We know YOU CAN do it and we'll all help you

If you send me a pm with your email address, I can send you the spreadsheet to keep a track of money earned and saved.

Have a read through the first couple of posts, and see what sites you'd like to join, and if you can ask someone to refer you to them that would be brilliant. When you're all up and running, I can send you a list with more sites on.

Hi all, just popped on to say I got some wrapping paper from Mr T tonight, 6 rolls which is 46 metres but it's nice stuff like ceries shiny pink (daughter was well impressed) bit confused when it only cost £4 for the lot but looking at my receipt the 3 for 2 is still working at the tills!!

Treat our kitchen to a new kettle and toaster, wanted black ones since we did the kitchen at the end of last year and they were reduced from £40 each to £20 so bonus!

Going to do some rating now hope you are all well xx
