Ahh Ta guys, hopefully the comping fairy will be kind to us in our mission! I got the idea because 99% of stuff i see as prizes would be much more useful for someone else!
*Fingers crossed, my mum really wants a Kindle, she wouldn't ask or anything and she spends so much time and thought into our lots pressies, if I dont win one Ill have to buy her one!:DWon 2012:Bobbi Brown Mascara / TRIA System

I'd like to do that but currently all the prizes I win are going to birthday presents. Hopefully if the second half of the year is good I can then put them aside for Christmas.Overdraft = £1000 Emergency fund = £2500
Competition wins 2015 = £1400:ANathan Henry & Lincoln Marcus born 19th October 2011 :ANaomi Lily born 28th August 2012

I would love to do this, if I ever won anything.
-A holiday, or cash to pay for one, for the long suffering parents (esp as it's their 25th wedding anniversary this year and they can't afford to do anything really) would be amazing. Shopping vouchers to help them out too. Kindle for my Dad.
-For my brother, clothes or a game console perhaps?
-For the BF... cash for the following, or the following themselves: new phone, new desktop computer, clothes, holiday (with me)
Don't have anyone else.0 -
Im having pretty rubbish luck this year too, so have decided to put more time into entering. I usually start shopping for xmas about now anyways!

I love this idea, my start to the year has been good although nothing for the last two months so you have revitalised me and I am on a mission. I do not buy for loads of people so a short list lol.
Mum kindle
hubby ipad or big screen tv
son laptop
daughter loves anything tweenies, wiggles or mr tumble
son any toys especially cars etc.
Good luck everyone

I seem to go through stages of being bothered to comp, but if we think of the money we will save over xmas its worth it! Ive saved almost £50 of nectar points which will go towards xmas food at my mums!
