Hi Anna

I do Park - have done for few years now and always get the love to shop vouchers - it makes all the difference in the world to us as Xmas is taken care of. Found Park nothing but brill so far and whilst catalogue gifts etc are quite pricey the vouchers mean you get out exactly what you pay in so perfect! x

IVA approved Aug 2008 - 6 year term - last payment made 6 Oct 2014. CC received 14 Nov 2014.

Agree Til, it's helped me over the previous two years and I've started again this year. x
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

Stepkids get vouchers, stepgrandkids usually get clothes. I'm afraid I don't spend much at all now but it will go up when the IVA finishes.

I don't have to worry about children or grandchildren thankfully! Dave's family is down to him, I don't contribute.

Anything present wise is down to me to sort out - hubby hasn't a clue when half of the birthdays are!!

I'm no better than Dave when it comes to his family! I'm not really interested in his grandchildren so it's all down to him!

well I did another survey today and got 400 points! i am now well on my way to a £10 voucher and have only being completing them for a couple of weeks. My hubby is a proper scrooge, he hates Christmas, so its all down to me! I even end up buying myself a present because he is that bad! Although he has learned to deal with it all a bit better now we have the boys. One of the many bonuses of having young children is you can get away with home made gifts, we baked cakes for my mum and mother in law for mothers day, and i got some nice gift baskets from the car boot to put them in so they looked lovely, i'm going to do the same for Easter.
