Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & All Ocassions 2009

furrypig

My very poor show is the lack of ebay money as I really need to get on with that and keep putting it off!

Have a mega busy week this week with sons birthday and inlaws 50th Wedding anniversary here so will get my self organised for next week hopefully!
Is anyone else selling on amazon at the moment??? How have you found it???

I have also decided I am not too worried about being money neutral as such for presents but want to make extra money and a small income and would just be pleased to make some pennies to spend on crafty stash and other treats. For example last year I used my tesco points to get Merlin passes for the 4 of us and considering doing the same this year.

I just think that that is how it suits me to use my extra money/points made throughout the year. Hope that makes sense!!! Looking forward to hearing from the rest of you with all your totals as I find it really inspiring how well you all do and I need to see where else I can get some savings from!!

My eBay non-payer coughed up and I've sold another item ending on Sunday :j a few pence more for my pot :T.

I must admit to spending some ok well most of my extras on craft stuff as well but it leaves me extra cash for other stuff such as pressies as I seem to have a craft shopping addiction :rotfl:

Shame I've got screened out of all the surveys I've had this week but it all adds up!
