    You'll find the 2008 Money Neutral Gift Challenge HERE on the Special Occasions board.

    I signed up for this but have been very lax at updating my progress in that challenge so far! :o (Even though I have been doing quite well and have got lots of things like free greetings cards and gift vouchers etc which has offset the cost.)


    I will be badgering the original members of this by September :D Come back jo_b!

    From september to december last year I managed to raise over £300 in different ways to spend on xmas presents!

    :ABeing Thrifty Gifty again this year:A

    Okay - I've sorely neglected this diary as well as the Money Neutral Challenge! :o

    Pleased with today's achievements though (so I'll finally update both!) ;)

    I completed 20 reviews on the BView site last week and earned a £10 Amazon voucher. I'd already got over £8 in my Amazon account anyway and claimed £5 from Juicy Brains so just had enough to order a Ben 10 duvet cover and watch for my eldest son. (He'll be six in September and has a list of Ben 10 items as long as my arm on his birthday wishlist!) :rolleyes:

    The plan for tonight was to complete another 20 reviews for another gift certificate but not in the mood! :o I'm still playing free bingo at Gala tonight but no luck with that today. :rolleyes:

    I'm just dawdling on here as a way of procrastinating from the stuff that I should be doing! :o

    I've bought a few bargain tops today at £1 each. :D I've just entered the details on Consumer Pulse so that I'll get 50p worth of points for each purchase. The tops are very nearly free! :rotfl: I'll wait until I've got £20 to claim my next voucher anyway but it will come in useful as always. ;)

    Now off to complete 7 more reviews on BView. If I get started now it won't take me long! :rolleyes:
