The DFW "Celebrate Christmas for free in 2008" Challenge

I'm not sure where I'm up to with points now but have been doing more surveys and think I'm doing ok.
i know ipoints is now over 500 which i think is good for this early in year, should have enough for a few cds come xmas!
pigsback is over 700 too, think i might exchange for boots vouchers as i'm going along to maximise the free gifts and money off/points vouchers. had to miss out on extra points in boots this week as didn't have cash to spare and points vouchers have now expired!!

i got a free rucksack with verbaudet order as well as 20% off order, so spent £8 on some canvas shoes for DS2 also got kids digital camera for £9.99 with order. Rucksack and camera are going in the xmas box.

Can you add me to this list too? I just asked to join the sealed pot challenge for this very reason! Hoping to save about £300 through that to help Christmas be a nicer, less expensive time of year (will also join the £10 a day challeneg too - i'll divide the money i hopefully get from that towards Xmas, birthday and debt!)

Welcome. I've added you to the list. I'm in the sealed pot challenge too but as I haven't been shopping for 6 weeks I haven't added much lately!

st1993 - on the front page Sea78 has listed survey sites. Sign up for as many as possible and they will send you e-mails

noggin - my cousin started doing ironing as a sideline about 3 years ago. She now does it full time and makes about £500 a week.

MERFE - sorry don't have a better idea on the nectar points. I'm going to use mine at argos

Hi Noggin,
My husband tried to do bingo - but even with his details, email and cc still would not allow us to sign up. Even tried my daughters laptop - no luck.

OH and I have both done the biingo sites - separate debit cards though. Some people seem to be able to do them all, some people get stopped

hi everyone :hello:


I wonder why it wont let your dh register Jess, bit odd isn't it. Some of the sites it let me register, but then didn't put me my free money in the bank Must depend on the mood it's in :rolleyes:

I'm still pondering the idea of the ironing thing. I might price up an ad in my local paper, as I think this is the best way for me to advertise. I'd like the extra money, but to be honest I HATE ironing :rotfl::rotfl: (needs must as my mum says ) I might give it a months try and see if I get any enquiries and if I make owt from it- might take off straight away and I might see £ signs!

I've joined the Olympic Challenge and am aiming for a BRONZE! So I think It might motivate me with this challenge, and visa versa. I'd like to get to £1000 mark by the end of the summer, and then I'll split it between Christmas/Holiday stashes.

choca, your cousin does well at the ironing- £500/wk is good going isn't it.
