Cashed out £10 Boots voucher. So my mums xmas is complete.
Doing a week survey and should receive £15 for completing this. When I do, will keep the code towards my dads and that means only need to get £10 and his will be complete.
My next lot will be my younger sister Christmas for vouchers. Then will do my older sister birthday vouchers for her bday just before xmas. That saves me plenty money and also I look good for itxx
Will finish my xmas shopping by end of October as end each month to give my sister £90 for my nieces private horse riding lessons. And to buy my boy a Nintendo switch. Other than that I am donexxx

You are doing amazingly with the vouchers! I can't believe how quickly it all mounts up and before you know it, you've got most of your Christmas sorted! I have around £45 in Amazon e-vouchers sitting but I'd like to put that towards the kids' Christmas when they decide what they'd like. It takes the sting out of a large, expensive present if there is one.
I don't give vouchers as gifts, but if I did i'd definitely be following your methods!CC1: £4481.14/ £5031.14 (12% paid off, £600) | CC2:£3307/ £3807 (14.4% paid off, £550) | Loan: £10,528.20/ £15,792.30((33% paid off, £5,264))

Our Smyths catalogue came in yesterday too but the kids haven't seen it yet. They did go completely MAD in Hamley's at the weekend when we were looking around. Lots of shreiking and diving around to see what was round the next corner!
I was hoping to pick up an Argos book when I was in town last week but there was none out and no staff around to ask. Ho hum, will try again next time. The kids NEED the catalogue for Christmas planning, doesn't Argos understand??CC1: £4481.14/ £5031.14 (12% paid off, £600) | CC2:£3307/ £3807 (14.4% paid off, £550) | Loan: £10,528.20/ £15,792.30((33% paid off, £5,264))
