Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & All Ocassions 2009

Count me in please Jammy, I think I will go for Bauble status at the moment as I cant find much for Ebay.

Me too please This is my first time doing anything like this so I think I'll just aim for the Wrapping paper status. I'd rather do better and be pleased than aim high and not make it.

So far I have a £5 Amazon voucher but I'm hoping to have another £10 soon from the Media Habits surveys I do.

I also have £6 high street voucher from a Royal Mail survey I'm due to do.

I had a bit of luck today, I was checking my old wallet for a photo and I found £5 caught up in a receipt! I must have missed it when I emptied all the money out, unless the nice little Christmas Elves are giving me a helping hand So I have put that in my sealed Christmas money box.

Do Boots points count? If so I have £10 of them saved for Christmas.

I've just sorted lots of stuff to try to sell on Ebay, so we'll see what happens with that.

I'm looking forward to this, it will be nice to have the 'group spirit' spurring me on

Oooh, I've just remembered I've saved £45 of Tesco clubcard vouchers for my son's Christmas presents! So would that count as £90 saved as I will double up on all of them to buy toys?

I think I'd better change what I'm aiming for. Can I now please aim for Star status (£150).

Morning Jammy, think this is a great idea. I would like to go for SuperStar status - have some shop and scan points that I have been saving to convert into vouchers to go in the Movie hampers, and sorted all the kids toys (to make room for the new ones) pictures have been taken and they are ready for ebay!
Just received voucher from Mazuma for mobile phone recycled - £60!!! This is going to go towards ds bike for Christmas, so doing well already!

Morning everyone

Sarah - have pm'd you about pinecone thanks.

I will have to change my goal to Sparkling Star. I have babysat my grandchildren for the last 2 days as my daughters childminder was on holiday and save just sitting there with them did all the housework (roped kids into helping). Well she just texted me to say she has paid £70 into my bank for helping her out.

I still have about £15 of Amazon vouchers so total so far is £85.

This is a great challenge - I am aiming for Sleigh Status £500. I have a bunch to ebay, which we will be listing this week, £5 in Amazon vouchers from BP, £5 I found in my bookcase stashed in a mug, and am thinking of selling a few gold items that never see the light of day otherwise (not a real bling type person LOL).
