Grin I've done the £2 jar for about 3 years now.
And the Nectar/M&S/Tesco means I have to be a bit strong willed. Usually the Tesco ones get used for double clubcard deals (I bought a phone for my DS and a heater for my guinea-pigs with these)

We've had light, non settling snow for the past 2-3 days now. And pesky hailstones.

I have my bag of change for parking machines, that I keep in the car - when it is getting pretty full and I don't need parking money, I will get a few stamps for the big supermarket and add those to my card (I aim to fill at least 1 card for the big stores shop around Christmas).

Otherwise, I have a salary sacrifice going on into the credit union through work - I put money away every paycheque for birthdays and Christmas and holiday money, so that usually covers anything I need in December.

Rudy Day today. I MAY watch a Christmassy movie tonight in bed (DH is away again!) but that's about the extent of it this month (too shattered for planning).

I've just found yet another box of Christmas Chocolates from a grateful client! Operation get back to size 12 will have to wait another day or two.

DD and I were in The Range and they had a small display of christmas stock vastly reduced. I resisted. Wink

I bought gloves a couple of weeks back (not Christmas ones but nude/camel)

How long to go then Rabid???
