    Am saving my Clubcard vouchers - only got about £7 so far though.

    Boots points - got about £59 so am thinking I might pick up one of their half price digital cameras for my dad. Bought loads of gift sets and 3 for 2s from Boots when the extra points vouchers were there.

    Got a £10 Waterstones voucher from Pigsback so that's part of my brother's present!

    6 months and counting - I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    We have two families with loads of teenage children in tow (and a grandchild too) and this gets really expensive so this year we have decided to go bowling and get a 'bargain bucket' style meal. It'll work out about a third of last years bill AND we'll have a great time together.
