    Would love to join you. I started saving for xmas 2012 on 1st December last. I am trying to do makea pound or save a pound a day which has gone very well so far I have £66 in the pot also have £6.50 in tesco vouchers,£2.00 on Asda charge (for being overcharged) £3 in boots, I spent £20 of boots points in the 75% off sale, and got 10 of my xmas pressies, was particularly pleased with this as bought the Groupon deal pay £5 get £15 points.

    Have just bought the Living social deal for Marks pay £7 get £15 so all looking good so far.

    I do not want to set a target,I aim to get as much as possible in the pot for Xmas.

    Hi, I have had confirmation from a*azon that they have accepted my books for trade-in, so that has given me £5.40 on a gift card. They should also be adding an additional £5 to that as I traded in at the weekend when they had an offer on. I am going to see what else they will accept and save towards xmas.

    Very late I know, but can I join? I'm not hoping to have a certain amount but my aim is to not spend any of my vouchers until December.

    I have just under £30 on my nectar card, About £5 in Tesco vouchers another £10 in coop vouchers and a few pounds on the boots card. Usually I spend them willy nilly but this is a fab idea to get them stored up to make Christmas easier on the bank balance!

    :)
