  • Everyone seems to be doing really well.

    Ches, well done on those Thorntons wins - are they vouchers off a spend of so much, or just vouchers?
  • Lightspeed is a survey site. i've done pretty well out of it (but OH has dne better as usual!). You can collect your points for vouchers, e-vouchers, Paypal money or I think maybe gifts but I haven't looked at that.

    When I signed up you could get Quidco cashback and I thought Piggy points from Pigsback but I can't find that now - maybe they stopped it. You can get 80p going via Cashback rewards though if you're a member there?


    Thanks Chocaholic. I've only just started to take proper notice of this site myself before I would just skip the odd survey.

    I've just won a pink make-up bag and mirror that will be good to go in my present draw for next year :D

  • Bought my first 2 presents in the Boots.com half price sale today along with a few birthday presents and a baby gym that my mother is giving me the money for. My total spend was £27 but had code for extra advantage card points (£7.32) and got £2 odd to get back thrugh Quidco. My total spend for Christmas was £14 (a gift set for my sister, a game for best friend's son and two packs of kids' Christmas cards) which I'll add to my signature. Puts my advantage card point up to about £24 as well!
  • chocaholic, you did well at boots! ive got a few bits wht ive had lying around for ages in my christmas pressie crat under my bed...(!) so technically theyve not cost me owt this year.

    my budget for next christmas is essentially running from now to next december. so money i both make and spend from now on will all count towards my christmas 2008 challenge. so, the stuff I already have bought yonks ago im not going to count in my "spends". hope this is ok choca??

    please can I join realy must watch the pennies for next year and new years resoloution is to stop lurking and starting posting on here so I reckon a few friendly challenges are the way to start:j
  • Welcome! I'll add your name to the list and I'm sure you'll get more than enough ideas and support to stop you lurking!

    Noggin - anything you already have is fine. i have a couple of leftover pressies as well, mainy because I buy without thinking who it could be for. Have started a list for next year of who I need to buy for and what I've got already - hopefully will stop me buying uneccessarily.

    Well, the surveys are rolling in at the mo - have got £30 in argos vouchers over the last few weeks, so will look in the sale to see for birthdays and next christmas ideas. I think I'll be using some of it to buy the lovely hat boxes for hampers :)
