Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & All Ocassions 2009

azjh77

Full house on Bingo Port! Glad I found this thread!

I've been through my 'magic box' (big ottoman in the corner of the living room) and have found loads of things I've put away for Christmas.. and I will admit to buying a Dr Who book in The Entertainer (really nice, pop up type one for £3, will put it back for The Boy) - but I want to have a go at making a few presents this year too.. started on a quilt, crocheting a throw, and writing a 'retrospective of 2009' with photos for the grandparents...

...and in the mean time I need to find all my stuff for the Summer fete I'm organising for my Guides (we've raising £1,500 so we can go abroad next year!).. so I can't ebay any of my old stuff as I am donating to my girls.. but then I WILL be getting a subsidised holiday out of it.. even if I will be spending that holiday with thirty 10 -13 year old girls!

Haven't had a chance to have a proper catch up with this thread, but I will later on .. OH is at his interview which starts in 10 mins! ... I am panicking again

I am sorry choccy I haven't had a chance to do the ebay challenge, however I have things out and ready to list so just need to sort out photos and get cracking, I will do them today and then PM you my username etc etc. I haven't been on bingoports since Fri night so I need to get cracking on that aswell as I was doing quite well with posts etc

Hope everyone has a fab day

Good luck to OH Rusty.

I now have 16 items on eBay - 1 I listed last night has a bid already :j.
Spent 20 mins in the post office before work this morning to post sold ones - they have a stupid cheese queue type thingy where you have to take a ticket and wait a week .
Note to self go to local "normal" post office in future - lol

Sold 3 bag lady bags as well today .
Will try and construct a spreadsheet with everything on it later.

Hello hello hello!

Well if any of you are on the OS board you'll probably know I was made redundant last month, so being freelance, I need to be as neutral as possible this year. I've always loved paying as little as possible for stuff, but needs really must now.

Thank you to everyone who's been talking about bingoport, I've joined up, so fingers crossed.

Does anyone know if ipoints still do their polls? I can't seem to find it on there.

I do lots of the paid to click email sites like archerfish to earn a few more pennies.

Keep up all the good work everyone, you're all very inspiring

I've not heard of Archefish is it any good? Signed up for Fatcheese and did the daily free clicks, but nothing has registered on account, so dont want to do any more incase there no good. x

About this bingo port.. I've been trying to do 10 posts a day and earn 1000 points, then 'gambling' about 500 worth - how do people think of stuff to say! It HAS to be bingo related yet all the posts just seem to be agreeing with the OP for the sake of it to get their points up!

Have to go... 3tg on in Buttons den!

Do we have any dooyoo experts - where do you start - do you just pick a product and start writing?? is it best to stick to one area of products!?

S4arainday - is your engagement ring very beautiful? Congrats!

its really lovely-had to scale down my expectations massively! can't pick it up for another week, now my dummy ring looks really cheap and tacky (apparently it was VERY cheap! :rotfl:)

I've been busy dooyooing and bingoporting 9000 and 650 points in a week which isn't bad!
