Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & All Ocassions 2009

welcome welcome one and all! nice to have you stephos! £40 from onepoll is great well done you!!

I have just signed up for play.com's credit card. You get 1 point per £1 you spend anywhere, and 2 points per £1 if you spend on play.com and a bonus £15 voucher if you spend £150 in the first 90 days. 500 points = £5 voucher. Whilst I don't encourage the use of credit card, if it is paid back in full, I see no harm - especially when we're likely to be spending thousands on the card in the next few years on the house. Mr Jamtart will be unwittingly paying for his own xmas present

Helloooooo all!

My buyer paid just need to drag it to the post office now . Few more penny's towards my total am not far off the amount I need now (without OH's kids cash gifts) :j

Great news padster!


Spend £10 on Boots sanctury stuff and get this mini set free. Not too bad if you like the stuff anyway, and it is a really nice gift for Christmas!

Ta Jammy - managed to get something similar to that for someone in the sale but was in the big toilet bag which I pinched as mine fell apart - contents stashed away for November birthday

Well done padster sounds good!!

I have just had a quick tot up of what I've bought and what I've spent.

I need to make another £70 cash to break even up to now.

I need £350 for Christmas + 1 more birthday - this could be in the form of cash or amazon/argos/nectar vouchers though so I have £15 towards that...err...need to pull my socks up on that.

I wish eBay wasn't as much messing about Tempted to do a car boot - all over and done in one go that way!

I'm getting fed up with eBay am having a week off this week as am away over the weekend so didn't want stuff finishing on Sunday night - will do some more next week maybe. No way could I get up early enough to do a carboot and my boots not big enough for all the carp :rotfl:

Well, I've just listed 24 individual listings of stamps on ebay, but still have loads more to put on so am going to list a few every couple of days or so.
The layout of listings is now very slightly different when complete, and you have to put how long it'll take you to ship it.

Hope you have a fun weekend Padster

Dont know if I'd do a car boot or not, but seeing I havent a car I dont need to think about it, lol. Lovely sanctuary freebie Jamster.

Welcome to the nut house Stephos, well done on getting £40 from one poll!!

The lovely SylphRaven referred me to dooyoo yesterday and I have done a few reviews already. You do need to make them quite long, at least 150 words. You get points when people read them as well I think (?) If anyone else is on dooyoo, PM me and I'll add you to "my circle of friends"
