    I completely forgot to add up my total for last week, so from what I've got in my jar already and what I've saved in a tin at work I've got £25.28 in total. I've got quite a bit more than this which I've been saving at home last week, I'll add it up tonight and update my totals!

    Don't forget to join in over on the christmas board - lots of people have posted very helpful ideas for christmas already - some other popular suggestions are saving pigsback points for christmas (or the vouchers...) as well as quidco cashback and survey money - there is also threads on how to get freebie presents, low cost presents like making up your own hampers ("movie night in" is a popular one! Get microwave popcorn, some bags of sweets, a dvd in the sales and a couple of bottles of pop and bobs ya uncle!)
    Good luck all!
