Ah well thats how I save for this challenge, I put all my TCB and Quidco payments into amazon vouchers, (as I get the extra top up) then I declare the amount.

This means as you know I buy most of my presents via Amazon so I will just use my gift cards as payment, Christmas is sorted :-)

Do as I do and you will do fine young Jedi :-)

This has sealed the deal........I will do likewise!! I have a £75 Amazon voucher which I will now dedicate to this challenge...I'll definitely thank myself when Christmas comes rather than spending it now. I also have a £5 Boots voucher. All of this was gained from Market Research ,,,,a focus group and the ladies with clipboards in town lol. So a whopping £80 to add to my Christmas pot. making my total £105

Thank you for my number Ellie I will add it to my signature xx

Great idea, although I would add the amazon voucher before you lose it and its registered and doesnt expire for 10 years.

I would just spend the £5 boots voucher, and any more market research you do, can be paid out in amazon vouchers,

I will also be getting a good number of Clubcard vouchers from Mr T when the next mailing comes. This was due to forgetting to redeem all the points I'd been collecting with my gas and electric bill lol!

I will declare them when they arrive.

Im going to use mine to boost for the last time, (should get a fair few as I was part of the christmas saver so haven't had any this year) most of the toys and presents sold in Tescos can be bought via Amazon.

Each to their own though :-)

Unfortunately I had to use my Savings....so I'm starting from Zero again

Not to worry...I can still get there....I have faith in myself....

If you can put my Total back at Zero that would be appreciated Ellie...thanks xXx

Hello everyone.
This month's money transferred to my Christmas savings account.
Total £187.00.
So excited that I'm not going to be panicking about money this Christmas!

I've finally caught up with the shopping and this has pushed my total up to £288. I need to find another £4 to get me over 40% but I'm not too worried because I think the next clubcard vouchers are due at the end of May.

No. 3 £288/£732

Another £1 to add to the pot, courtesy of TCB, they are all coming to fruition now :-)
