Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & All Ocassions 2009

Queen.Bess

Well here is my update, basically for the year, as it stands:

Earnings (mystery shopping/Quidco/Selling Items): £189.71
Spent on birthdays/mothers' day/Christmas (so far): £113.95
Available to spend: £75.76

I was also able either recycle presents or use amazon vouchers/clubcard deals/nectar points to keep the spending down.

So I have to say I've done rather well this year! I hope to keep it up into next year as the extra earnings really have helped me keep money neutral! It's a great idea!

Meant to say is it me, or are others finding surveys are dribbling away, need to find a money tree.
Lost Bview, lost supermarket vouchers, not many surveys or too many people doing them!!

Money tree or a nice rich man, - then again I could be greedy and ask for both..... x

Have to agree things are a bit slow, and all the good things are slipping away such a shame about Bview.

Hi everyone, havent felt much like posting last few days. Received £10 from Littlewoods bingo, was panicking as when I went to with draw it had my old card number on it and I tried to change the card to the new one but it wouldnt let me, said you cant change a card while you have money in your account. Decided just to withdraw anyway and then ring up if I had problems and the money was in my bank yesterday.

Have had two lots of Luncheon Vouchers for £3 each so will have a look in Tescos next time we go in for some stocking fillers for youngest daughter, had forgotten all about the stockings until OH hung them up the other day.

Morning everyone

Good news Mary-op, so pleased for you and your family. Hope you can all have a lovely Christmas now.

Dad's feeling a bit better, he got his fire sorted and is getting used to it so thats one worry out of the way. Just have the hospital to contend with tomorrow.

Went up town to get some stocking fillers yesterday. Managed to just about do OH's. Got him 2 ties in pack from Peacocks £5, 3 small bottles of aftershave in boxes from Superdrug about £7 something they were 3 for 2, pack of 3 pairs socks 99p store, pair joke socks 99p store, new chamois for car 99p store, mini lynx deodorant 99p Wilkos.

Also got 2 Impulse sprays for daughter about 80p each in savers. Just need to get her a few more small bits for the stocking like tights etc. Found a pink face cloth in the box upstairs and some body art transfers so wrapped them up.

Have been busy with my quilts, have finished the one for my grandaughter apart from making a label for the back. Have pieced together the tops of two of the grandsons ones and nearly finished piecing the third. Want to get the machine stitching out the way as its getting cold upstairs and I dont have heating up there at all. Just need to get some more wadding for the fillings and something to back them.

Catch you all later xx

Just got ten pound amazon voucher from Ipsos today.

Things are slower,and missed that toilet survey by not checking my emails early.

Dont worry peeps I am thinking its because people are saving for xmas and recession.If we keep at it we will boom when others get bored xx
