I've just sorted my mum's mother's day present by sorting through my stash of Boots stuff (!) so I'm pleased with myself. Now all I have to do is pack it nicely. cel x

ok moral money dilemma, know its not strictly related but dont knwo what to do and it involves vouchers!

my ipods broken. i am very sad as i use it every day. :mad:

New one £130 in argos (I have £25 vouchers from envirophone) = £105

OR new one on amazon £115 and save my £25 vouchers?? I am swaying towards this one...

what do you think?? :cool:

Hi jamtart
Think I would go with amazon too.

• The ipod is not really a gift,just replacing equipment from wear and tear;) and if I remember right it died a couple of weeks ago so def due for replacing;)
• The one on amazon is cheaper anyway:D
• It would be a waste of £15 worth of vouchers as you would be paying extra just to use the vouchers
• Pity your mobile phone didn't need a new contract - dial a phone got some contracts with free i pods and £60 cashback from quidco:rolleyes: good deal if you were renewing anyway.
• You need your vouchers for the money neutral challenge:D

I'm almost halfway there!!!

I still have the remains of my dad's present and the two big presents to go, but I'm halfway neutral on all birthdays and most of Christmas!

Awesome.

I haven't bought any presents but I am doing quite well on the clicks, Play.com and eBay (£158 withdrawn this month)
