The DFW "Celebrate Christmas for free in 2008" Challenge

My OH has just ordered another £10 Boots voucher although he doesn't know it yet and has never once been on Pigsback!! Lol

Please can I join too? Sorry I'm late (story of my life, lol). I was hoping to do this anyway, also hoping not to have to pay any gifts all year.!

I will save vouchers from survey sites and pigsback/ipoints/nectar points. I'm saving clubcard points for a holiday and any cash earned is going directly off my debt.

I will check where I'm upto with points balance and be back soon to post.

Congrats on baby choccie! My first grandchild is one day overdue now, boo!

Forgot to add that I'm planning to make some gifts too!

Xmas 2007 I made hot choc mugs for my nephew and neice (got plain white mugs from freecycle, painted with glass paints which I already had and added sachet of hot choc each that I'd got from hotel room when I stayed over with work:D cut in half a flake - half in each mug, added a couple of marshmallows and there you go...).
Also knitted them a pair of mittens each (wool and knitting needles from freecycle and pattern from library book, lol) and a gave them a DVD between them from Tesco that had extra clubcard points attached!

Other examples too but I won't bore you with the whole list

Feel free to list them all - they might just be the ideas people are looking for!

Just had £5.26 pay out from Quidco so I'll update my sig in a minute. Haven't had any click throughs on Pigsback for a while - has anyone else noticed that?

New totals:

£10 Schuh Giftcard
£25 HMV Giftcard
£10 Next Giftcard
£21.85 Pigsback
£14.94 Boots Advantage Card
9315 points Toluna (30000 converted into £5 Sainsbury's voucher)

£81.79 Approx total

Pigsback has been quite poor recently in terms of CTs. On the other hand, they've added new vouchers for HMV and Waterstones which I assume are Leisure vouchers.

P.S Changing the subject slightly...does anyone know how long YouGov take to send out a cheque? (This is going towards debt!)

I haven't either. Hope they haven't stopped them as it's the only way I build up points on pigsback

I think it's been a couple of weeks since I reached £50 - there's a celebratory post on this thread somewhere! :rotfl:Payment is now showing as sent on 29th, not had cheque yet but hopefully should be here any day now. I think they say it can be up to a month from when you reach the £50.

Nearly had to spend some of my boots points:eek: Now that would never do!
Got box of 12 christmas crackers and 3 large rolls of wrapping paper for the total sum of £1.70 but lovely DD paid for them instead:j

I have ordered £20 of boots vouchers from pigsback this weekend!!

also have £16.50 of boots points on my card, so that is building up nicely too.

I have already spent £20 of boots vouchers that I had left over from last year on sale stuff for Christmas 2008, so not doing badly at all!

Keep up the good work everyone xx
