Welcome back!

I’ve just realised this is the only thread where we can mention the C word (Clue: :santa2:) so early in the year :cool:

So, a Boots megal points shop done and a flurry of things for work via TCB and now I’m up to:

#6 £471/£730 :T

Yes, I wouldn't mention it anywhere else, I'd be heading for divorce already if I did :rotfl:

I've updated our totals, i'm currently up to £247

Thanks - I’m really lucky, I regularly order household furniture and white goods for work so I make sure I do so through top cash back. It make no difference to the business, they pay the same and it helps me have a ‘free’ Christmas. The secretary does it too for print cartridges and other officey things so we have a mini competition of who raises the most.

Today’s total: #6 £533/£730

Hi Emily807 :hello: Welcome to the challenge, there’s still loads of time to save.

Good morning
I've been so bad at posting this year - frankly I should be thrown off the forums. BUT thankfully, I'm still saving and repaying debt.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I have hit my goal for this year already! I got some unplanned for money during the year and have stashed it away for Christmas! Could I have put it towards paying off the credit cards and mortgage - yes I could. But I wanted to "treat" myself and this felt like sneaking in some fun!

#015 £365 / £365

Take care

Oh, well done! :T It’s one less thing to stress about, and now you can focus on other things.

Just £5 Morri’s voucher for me this week, but it was unexpected so must be an offer thing I used before - and it looks as if I might get another next shop as I’m just short of the 5000 points again.

Morning,
No.16 here and I am now up to £150. Having bought the first Christmas present on Saturday I am feeling extra motivated for this challenge.

Yea! M&S vouchers are here (I use my M&S cc for everything), which bumped my total by £14, I’m now at 75% which is exactly where I should be for the time of year.
#3 £553/£730

Hello. Please may I join the group?
I'm saving £60 a month so I've already got £480 in the pot and I have £250 worth of High Street vouchers coming in November which I pay £20 a month towards. So I'm well on track. I've already bought a few presents and I keep a look out for stocking fillers when I'm out and about.
PS. Please can I have number 24 if it's still available?
