Christmas Challenge

Ok I see a lot of you have those challenge thing on the bottom and I would like to know more about it - but the search I did was a bit unsuccessful.

Could you maybe enlighten me? What sort of challenges are there and how do they work...

Cheers:D

    can't remember any specific challenges off the top of my head, but i think there were some for last christmas on this board. It may be worth having a look through there. I don't know when they'll start up again though.

    I'm doing a challenge to make all my 2008 present giving money neutral. So either I buy gifts with vouchers, or I make enough money back to cover their costs (ebay, quidco, etc).

    I've not made anything back yet, although I do have vouchers that are not spent.

    I've set myself a personal challenge of buying re-cycled pressies from the charity shops. They often have 'unwanted gifts' donated and so far this year I've not done too bad and its worked out cheaper ........mind you, shan't know full cost till later this year.
    Have bought cheap baskets to put all the goodies in..............looks like everyones getting a hamper this year.............lol
