Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & All Ocassions 2009

I've posted 10 messages in the bingoport forum for the first time ever today! Hope I don't get in trouble, on the newbies forum all you can see is bigh11, bigh11 :rotfl: I do try to write proper messages though. You can tell some people just write a bog standard reply in the newbies forum but I try to read the first post and reply to it instead of just saying welcome and good luck. Makes me feel less fake! :rotfl:

I'm more than half way to a voucher now! I've been on it a while now and haven't had a voucher but if I did that everyday I'd get loads, i'm just flippin lazy!

I'm going to going a play a couple of hundred points in the slots now.

I'm still addicted to dooyoo, i've got just over 7000 points

How is everyone getting on with their eBaying? I have watchers on 4 items, and a bidder on 1 (total 6 items!) yay!!

Managed to get some things from m&s this morning. Cufflinks for fathers day. A scarf and purse I think I'll give to my cousin. A brooch for my aunt. So 4p in total (my fifth item was a tea towel I'm going to keep for myself!) but this 4p in total I'm claiming as money neutral as in the past week I've found 19p on the street. So that covers these items. I may try again on friday if they still have stock and with my 19p it'll still be neutral.:rotfl:

thats brilliant! I am umming and ahhing whether to go or not. To be honest scatty, I think you need to slow down with your spending as you don't want to get into debt just for Christmas! 4p is a lot of money! :rotfl::Twell done you!

Well done scatty! I might go in on Friday but not sure if they will have anything left by then.

I have 2 items ending today on ebay - 1 bid with 3 watchers and the other one has 2 watchers - rest of the stuff doesn't finish until Sunday but have sold one of those already - have my next batch on the line at the mo - they've been there since yesterday but it kept raining and didn't want to get p wet through to run out and get it in

Forgot to say DD picked up 30p when I was using the cash machine last week - wouldn't have minded but there was someone behind me in the queue - lol and I lent her 70p in change at a fete on the last Bank Holiday and she managed to make a £2.20 profit with it on a roll the 10p stall (used to be 1p when I was a kid see what inflation does!)

ha ha - I know. I nearly didn't go but want to go again now - want to go tomorrow but I'm going to citizens advice about selling this bloomin house of mine so I have to wait til friday. Hope there's some stuff left. The scarf was in a box that says 125 years on so I'm just going to take it out the box. My cousin lives in kuwait so she won't have known about the sale - I hope!!!

was it very busy scatty?

Paddington - Your DD sounds very MSE My dad says "no wonder your a moneysavingexpert, you spend our money and save your own" LOL My items are only on 99p like but better than nothing hey!

scattymam1

nope - I was the 10th person through the door, when I came out the queue was starting to build up but it was a smaller store in our little town. The bigger stores might be a lot busier. Want to find out whether they are keeping back stock for thurday and friday?? wonder who could find that out. Does mse have an m&s forum?

THIS is the official thread on here that I saw last night Don't know if it is helpful or not

scattymam1

Yes very helpful thanks jammy - looks like they have an allocation for each of the three days so I may get lucky friday:j:j:T:T
