Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & All Ocassions 2009

I think it would be nice to start again after christmas with Target positions for the whole year, a bit like this months challenge, but for over the whole year, starting from scratch. Obvioulsy with smaller tasks/challenges/targets etc to keep us going as well, what do you gals think?

I would join in on doing a one for the whole year i am over the moon with what i have made for only a month and a half of work, i would love to know what i could make in a whole year.
oh and i have managed to get another £10 argos voucher from valued opinions so thats £44.50 i am waiting for from sites.

Hi jamtart6,
I was wondering if you’re going to continue with this thread next year? I’ve only just caught onto the joys of MSE and I’ve started registering for opinion sites and looking at other ways to become money neutral in 2010... I’d like to give this a proper crack next year... once Christmas is out of the way... so will you all be continuing and can I join inn if you are?

Oh certainly will do we start on December 1st for 2010 :eek::D:rotfl: (I'm not joking!!!) Welcome to the mad-house

Ooh yes we could start in January - we started dec 1st last year so we didnt miss the sales I got a bit confused with all the targets this year and what not so apologies if anyone is upset with that . I will endeavour to be better next year :A

I came across this on the moneysavers arms about a slanket, i think my four kids would love this! but the price £24.99:eek:

but I googled for a pattern and found one here and it looks really simple to do going to hunt for a cheap blanket to make four of them

the pattern is here

Def agree with the 1st Jan and the target for the year + mini ones, I'll keep with the 1st jan for Santas challenge, (new thread) same title but 2010, so it keeps both threads together.

Our wonderful jammy shows you how to make the money, pop over to Sants's challenge and we're help you spend it!! xx

I think it was some of the sorting staff, tomorrow is postman and next week, they've planned a 3 day strike.

My great plan is get xmas cards wrote and posted middle of Nov, so fingers crossed there get there. xx
