Not sure if this thread will run next year, as we havent seen Ellie for a long time now.
Hopefully I will continue, and I will think about taking it over if no other offers or Ellie doesn't return to continue her thread.

I have waiting for my amazon gift cards to arrive (£50) and I will add to my amazon account, so my final total for this year is £165.00 a lot shorter then my target.
£50 - Amazon gift card cash out from surveys
£115 - Amazon gift card balance from Quidco/TopCashback/Shopping apps
Not bad and will definitely help me as I have to be frugal this Christmas as I am now on half pay from work, but great that I dont have to worry about spending my chrismas pay packet on others. This challenge (and the process, has worked out well for me for the last eight years and will continue £1 a day soon adds up)

Mine will come in at £365 but there's more money in the bank account it's going into anyway so that's a bonus. Not as much as there was at the beginning of the year, but it's not empty and that's the main thing! Trying to build it back up but it has been the account that has paid for spending money on trips and things, but then I guess that's the point rather than depleting my everyday account.SPCNo.18 #20 (17 £562.86 16 £678; 15 £1120.92; 14 £416.53; 13 £191.52; 12 £260.48; 11 £480.95; 10 £682.31; 9 £442.64)
