    I've submitted 3 tickets to TCB for purchases that haven't tracked. If they come through I should be able to jump up a bit.

    Morning all,

    Well my vouchers are about to be delivered, whoohoo!!, but I've decided that next year I won't be having them again - I've had them each year for the last 19 years - I seem to be getting less and less with them as each year goes by so when the next challenge starts I shall just be saving in a sealed tin...


    Roll on the 2017 challenge lol! Ellieseleven will we be keeping our challenge numbers or have new ones? :rotfl:

    However you are doing it, its still being saved, I have saved all mine into Amazon gift cards, and then added it to Amazon, ready for when I pay for my presents, throughout the year all my quidco and TCB payments have been in Amazon vouchers and I have massed £400 worth to use from Christmas and whatever is left is to buy myself a christmas/birthday present.

    Then Ill start again

    I've not even thought about the next challenge but don't see why we can't keep our numbers (might be a few gaps in between though)

    Good morning everyone,

    We've not got long to go now with our challenge and we have all done fantastically well:D

    All totals updated where requested...what great totals they are too. How organised will we be when Christmas approaches?

    I really look forward to counting out all my ££'s:cool:

    Morning

    I have still been saving, but not posting so much.

    I have just transferred Octobers payment so I only have one month to go.

    I am not sure how much is in the account now as its an M&S current account that I only use for this challenge and I can't find the little security machine thingy to be able to log in :D I am sure it will turn up before it is time to transfer the money out to buy the last few presents! It should be at £336 though as i have transferred every month.

    I hope everyone is well

    Hi everyone, still putting my £1 a day in my tin and up to date with it, but not sure of total. Do you know I don't know whether I can open my tin on Dec 1st, it seems a shame to spend it on Xmas after its taken me all year to save it!!!! Sounds daft I know and I will need extra money for Xmas but it's my hard saved money, does anyone else feel like this? I think I may try to buy/make some presents so I only just spend the minimum.
