That is brilliant Muhren! Well done.

Just checked my Amazon account (where I stash all my free survey winnings (Gfk/ Clubhouse/Ovo)and use it to buy things for family members' birthdays throughout the year, and I have £18 left for Xmas. :beer:

Plus the Orchard people have just confirmed I am on the Free From panel for December, so that is another £5 worth of MR T vouchers to go with the £14 of c/c vouchers.:j
I am feeling rather positive at the moment! Just bought a silicon mold for some chocolate bauble/candy cane/ xas tree shapes so I can make our own dairy free ones and wrap in shiny foil for the tree. It cost around £1.18 free postage but bought with vouchers so £0.00 A cheapy bar of non-dairy choc is 30p, but dairy free chocolate tree ornaments are horrifically expensive, so making my own this year. Will save a fortune and I can pimp them up to order.

No idea what to get the kids though.
It will no doubt be Xbox related

Onwards with the house search! Want to find 'our' house before Xmas so busy looking at Z**pla!

Keep on Wombling!

So I was able to fill my car up today and it was covered by my nectar points, so I didn't have to spend a penny.

Wow. I didn't realise you could do 100% points. Don't have a car anymore but I will store that detail away for next time.:T

Foxholes - what sort of home are you hoping to find? Good luck. Moving is so full on.
Great about qualifying for the Orchard free from trial.

I've been reasonably organised this week and uploaded a couple of receipts to COS, only for the 1p draws, but you have to be in to win. Nothing I really wanted on the offers currently.

Nice to hear about the kindness of strangers for the poppy and at the chemist.

I have done a few of the 1p uploads this week to Sazzie. A penny is still a penny

They have changed it relatively recently, sometime this year I think.

We are looking for a minimum 4 bed, with more than one bathroom. That is about the extent of my demands. Not that I am easily pleased or anything, but everything else can be worked around, if you get my drift.

other stuff would be nice, but as it is only for about 5 years, as long as there is enough space for us all right now, we dont need to look for the 'forever home' just yet.

A mortgage would be half the price of what we are spending in renting, so buying a house would save us over £6k a year. That would be a pretty good womble! and would allow us to save as well as overpaying the mortgage.

Private renting sucks!!! If we have to stay in Leicester for work for 5 years, then buying is the only sensible option!

I like moving house, we moved from Manchester to Sheffield this January, in a transit van in the snow! Backwards and forwards and got stuck on Snake pass, all very dramatic, then moved from Sheffield to Leicester in August - this time paid for from relocation package so didnt cost a penny.
The next move shouldn't be more than about 5 miles away, so it will be a van hire diy job again! Can't wait. Seeing another one tomorrow, that makes 4 viewings this week alone.

Found 4 receipts one of which had an item from CoS so should be 29p to the total.

That all sounds very sensible to me. Apart from the bit about loving to move! You must be the only person I know who has ever said that :rotfl:

I know, even the removals men told me I was a freak:j

We worked out I had lived in 17 houses - it was when that advert was on tv saying the average person moved house 8 times in their lifetime.
Both me and DH fell about on the floor laughing. I think he had moved 15 times:rotfl:
