~*~ Thrifty Gifty Moneysaving Thread for Christmas and all Occasions 2012 ~*~

MORNING!!

Hope everyone is glad it's Monday like me!. OH is at work, Hollie is watching Cbeebies and keeping busy with her Peppa pig books she got for Christmas.

Just checked nearly all the survey sites I'm signed up to and didn't qualify for anything! boo going to spend some time on swag bucks this morning, check up on Ebay listings, do a little bit of shopping then housework...booo.

Looking forward to reading what everyone is doing today! x

morning all

sorry but have not been on over the wk end, kinda got the blues atm.
anyway i hope everyone is doing well and congrats on the new baby nickyboo.
i have finally got around to listing some books on amazon, as far as i can gather you only get charged if your item sells, which is better than ebay as if i remember you have to pay to list your items.
hope i can sell some of these and that will make up for the money im short for next months bills..

Luv P

I think its fab, I would never have been able to think of something like that lol. Off to sunny spain in may, it's the last holiday that all the extended family are going on together so it should be a good one

purple - I agree, amazon is defo better than ebay for books, they never sell on ebay!

Chel - I love your shop name, glad no one else had thought of it as well. I went up to start on some new cushions for my shop, but I didn't have enough fabric to finish them off so I am going to have a look up town in the week when we go up there for some more to match what I am doing. I was also going to finish off a bag I was making for my sister for Christmas next year. I had just about finished it, it just needs a large popper in the front to hold the pocket closed but I can't find it anywhere (the bag that is). It has been up stairs next to my sewing machine for ages since I finished all the main sewing and I seem to remember putting it into a white rubbish sack (I use these to keep my makes clean) while I wasn't sewing over Christmas but can't for the life of me think where I would have put it. Its not in my craft room at all, I have had everything out. I am hoping OH hasnt been in there tidying up and thought it was rubbish and chucked it out. I have given up for the rest of the day, I have a little bit of hand sewing to do, MGS knocked this morning on his way to school with his teddy I made him last year, its arm has come off so I need to sew it back on so he can pick it up after school this afternoon.

I had three surveys when I came down in my email but didnt qualify for any of them.
