    I am saving morrisons stamps too, up to £42 so far.

    I also have a voucher order with park for £300, this covers love to shop and M&S.

    I have £168 in paypal, that just went down as I just indulged in the May mega pack from https://www.yankeedoodle.co.uk

    Finally I have £630 in amazon vouchers.

    I think that lot should see me through this years birthdays, weddings, christenings and christmas!

    wow £630 in amazon vouchers thats great

    Im thinking of doing a voucher order with park as your own paying little amounts each week that you won't really notice then when the vouchers come you've got them ready to start buying presents - they are october time from what the website says.

    Anything ive sold on ebay ive been leaving the money in paypal and plan to carry on doing so, its amazing how it adds ups :)

    Ive saved for christmas for several years now and its so nice not having any big bills as such at christmas as ive saved carefully throughout the year!

    the amazon vouchers are from research surveys my OH does. He hates doing them and swears all the way through!

    It's for doctors who are at least registrar level, I think he can refer if you know anyone.

    Hi Christmas Fans! lol

    I LOVE Christmas :D. I buy gifts through out the year whenI spot a good bargain (most things are from Home Bargains or the sales).

    I'm not very good at saving money though :( but started saving 5p coins in a sealed money box tin at the beginning of the year, there are quite a few in it already :) I'm hoping to put that money towards going to Alton Towers at Christmas (we have been there for the last 6 years!) and the Kids all really enjoy it and it's now become part of our Christmas tradition.

    Next time I go to Morrisons I'm going to buy a few saving stamps and try and fill a card up by Xmas as that would really help.

    Zippy x
    :p Busy working Mum of 3 :wave:
