I am. They're all bargain hunters, lol.

Still not been to Boots. Been busy baking and batch cooking all weekend. I was planning to go at lunch braek today but the weather was pants! Will see what it's like tomorrow. Might go then...

My free suitcases from Vertbaudet (earmarked for my little neice) came today and they are so cute. I thought I might separate them and put things n them for prezzies. Big one a 'sleepover set' maybe with some PJs, a teddy (I have one in my xmas box already) and towel, flannel, soap?? The mid one a writng/drawing theme with books and crayons. THe littke one - dressing up jewellery maybe? What d'ya think? Would do three 'events' then, Birthdays and Xmas too.

Sounds a fab idea. My DD would love something like that.

£12 voucher from Toluna today to add to the cache!
Mind you it seems to have taken forever to get it! Af ew other sites where the rewards are nearing payout, but once you get within striking distance they semm to dry up.

Finally made it to Boots today!! Spent £17+ but got around £10.50 worth of points back, so that's good and increased my xmas stash too-
Got Soap and Glory body wash (paid £5 and got 400 points back), 3 x items of No 17 make up (and only paid for one with 50 points back too!!), Olay Effects exfoiliating wash (paid £4.99 and got 500 points back).
Got the most recent mailing from Boots baby club and there's some points coupons that can be used with coupons from the mag and ATM so I'll be back again soon.

I'm making progress with surveys too.

Will try to keep track of my points and post an update soon.

How's everyone else getting on??

:hello: HI EVERYONE!

I'm just informing of my new plan...
I currently save £1/wk in a savings club with work (towards presents), £2/wk to Park hampers towards my £60 of vouchers (presents again), and £2/wk for Saver Stamps (towards food). I am going to start saving £1/wk myself also, as I've seen a few bargains in Argos what I'd like to buy for kids for Christmas, and would prefer them (obv!) while they are on offer, so if I put £1/wk away in a tin I can buy the gifts as the money mounts up. That's my plan anyway. :rolleyes: As i buy stuff I am going to start dropping my total amount wanted down by the amount of the gifts, as obv if I've already bought it I don;t need to save for it anymore
