    Yep Orchid I seem to be furrypig everywhere I go!! I am enjoying bingoport and seems to be a really easy way for me to get vouchers to help towards my being neutral (which I am not doing very well with!!)

    good luck with Bingoport and see you there!

    Eek I thought we were just keeping with one thread? I'm not sure I can do either threads now. I try to do money neutral and I manage it but I can't save all in one go like you ladies, and as for being organised ... well I don't know the meaning :rotfl: I will see when the other thread starts and if I can't join in then I shall slip away quietly :)

    Thanks Jammy :)

    New thread ? Had the old one got too big ? Now I'm confused:confused:

    Just come back from boot fair -spent princely sum of £5 on 3 plants and some silly bits for christmas pressies..........all 20p and 50p so bargains all of 'em.
    Think I'll have to start sorting out my spare room of hoarded stuff so I know what I've got and don't get the same thing again..............lol

    no problem at all Rusty! the money neutral stuff just gets lost within thrifty a bit :)

    Please keep using the other thread for the usual stuff, this one is for money neutral things :) as described here

    edit: Mel has just started her new thread HERE which is the continuation of thrifty/organised basically :)

    Hey furrypig not sure who else to ask so thought i ask you on here seeing as you are a regular over there. but does it just stop adding points to your account when you have gone over your limit? i joined up about 10pm last night and was playing and posting until 12 while doing other things. now since 12am been playing and posting and only got like 100 pts even though i have posted afew times. does this mean i wont earn anymore post until later tonight? its hard for me to write random post when i dont feel that strongly about the subject :o but i do want to start earning more points. any help please?

    also for anyone who is creating their own xmas presents, can you tell me how much it cost you to create something? i wanted to make a jar of chocolate or sweets and decorate them nice but i didnt want to spend a fortune on a nice jar and cant reuse the old jars because i cant get rid of the smells :D thanks for my rambling.

    Hi jamtart im trying to figure out the difference between this thread and mels thread, could you explain it abit for me. i keep trying to reread the original post but its still not clear to me. Both are linked to xmas organising but this is more to do with getting more presents using surveys and points whereas the other thread is just organising and saving money doing it right? or am i completely off the mark lol.
