Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & All Ocassions 2009

lunar

Sorry I have been missing for a while, we have just completed on our house so are now home owners. if anyone wants a nosy there is the agents pics on my diary thread.

I almost have enough for a £20 amazon voucher from dooyoo and just ordered a £5 one from lightspeed. I really need to get some more things listed on ebay. I bought a few christmas pressies last weekend that I have stashed away, they are money neutral as i used money transfered from paypal.

After my whinge yesterday have had 2 surveys from lightspeed 1 valued opinions and an IPSOS one - only qualified for 2 but it all helps

Wow no posts for a whole day!

I've finally got my laptop sorted (please don't let anything break again!!) so I can get doing my Qype reviews, got to do 30 before Tuesday now! Shouldn't be too hard I guess. Going to write a couple for dooyoo too as well.

Not going to do any ebay til I get back off my hols then going to do lots of ebaying because my pile of things to sell is getting rather large now!

Going to try and catch up on my surveys now, was doing so well and now i've missed a week! And bingoport, i'd have a voucher by now!

I got an email about a focus group the other day, if I pass the screening thingy and I do the interview, I get between £75 - £85! For approx. 2 hours work, I can live with that!

OK i'm off to make a brew because I am feeling a bit hungover today and I need some sugar! xx

focus just ordered something from amazon and had this in the confirmation email
"Please note, any funds remaining in your gift certificate account are subject to the original expiry date."
Bingoport vouchers last a year. Hope that answers you question

Glad you've got a happy lappy now Hayley sounds like your doing well

AT LAST!! I've done my 40 reviews! Thank god, it was doing my head in a bit actually! I've not had the email yet to confirm i've done them all but i've only just done the last one so I'll check it again later/tomorrow.

Can concentrate on dooyoo again now, got a few ideas for some good reviews and I want to read lots of other reviews because from what I can tell that's how you make your money really.

But it's all going to have to wait because I am going to see Jimmy Carr tonight, yay can't wait
