I'm saving all my clubcard points for the dc' Christmas presents and boots points for 3 for 2. Will get everyone else some nice chocolates apart from my sisters who I'll get something nice. I'm determined not to over spend this Christmas.

I get a 10% NHS discount at boots too

ipsos We have an M&S bank account and credit card which accumulates points, coverted to M&S vouchers. DH puts all his business expenses on it and we also stick all our spending too. Usually get £80 at least of vouchers per quarter, which buys 'luxury' foods, maybe wine, school uniform etc.

I still find Boots too expensive, even with the 3 for 2, to use with any regularity. Seriously impressed with Aldi for basic medications.

Nsd. I resisted home bargains. Although didn't get the slap I was expecting at work by mentioning Christmas 183 days

I too save points for pressies

My best friend has a voucher for a half price spa day for two and she has asked me if I want to go!! It will still be £35 though but would be a nice treat, i can justify that right?

Yes girlie do it!

Do it Girlie .
£4 for DS football, that's it today. Need tights tomorrow for awards.

Was it NK with the work thing. Good luck too.

Owners direct is a good site for holiday rentals (cottages, lodges, static caravans). Hope you find something.

Please don't mention Christmas yet

Haven't had a great week spending wise. Have been stressed about dd and school and busy ferrying the dc to cricket matches so have spent money on takeaways and unnecessary food. Behaving myself again now .

Girlie that's a bargain - do it!
How did it go today, NK?
I actually bought lunch today although it was only £3.75 and also spent £7.10 on a taxi home from work as my knee is still too painful to drive and DH couldn't pick me up today. Going back to the doctor tomorrow.

NK how was today? Today parking £10.2@ and a travel card? Not sure how much, but on Oyster which I can reclaim. Other than that £1 on a bottle of water, £5 for DD1's karate lesson.

Christmas eve is six months today though. We are through the looking glass here. We've already had the longest day so the nights are slowly drawing in again.

Girlie do it, it will be fun.

NK I hope it went really well today.

Sussex is meant to be really pretty Collie.

£45 for bathroom fittings.
£48 towards water bill.

I'm saving my Tesco points for a stay in a macdonald hotel near Windsor castle for next summer. I want a suite for the night so I need a £100 of them. I will take my cashback as clubcard points to help me along.

I'm in Sussex. Is v pretty. You can come and camp in my garden
