Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & All Ocassions 2009

hayley11

I might pop into the big Next in Manchester on Monday when I go to my brothers to see if they've got any gifts or anything. I don't find the one in Ashton that good really.

I used to get up at the crack of dawn for the Next sale but I don't bother now I've got rid of my Next account (well since they nicked it off me coz I didn't pay my bill, woops!)

Been catching up on my surveys and clicks this afternoon, slowly getting there, nearly got another £5 amazon voucher :j hoping to save a few up then put in an order for some stuff.. anyone know if you can use more than one voucher in one order?? or do I have to do them seperate??

Just joined yougov anyone got any tips on this one?

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

Yeah I went to that one a couple of years ago, I did get something so it must be ok. I love the big one in town, I love the homeware bit, i'm such a geek :rotfl:

Well I get a free buspass coz my boyfriend works for Stagecoach so I tend to get the bus but yeah it is much quicker! Know what you mean about the crowds though, I used to love it when I lived in town but can't be doing with it now.

I have been really bad with the money making this month, really need to get going again!

Hi

Yep, you can use more than one voucher at anytime.

Theres
1st - once you've logged in with ur email address theres a link think it says vouchers, basically you can load all the vouchers into the account, and they deduct as and when you buy.

2nd - Use them as and when.

One thing I would say is check the expiry date, as different companies have different dates, I cant remember which company it was but their vouchers were only valid for 30 days, where others are 12months.

Honest answer re You Gov - you have to wait until you get £50 for a payout, I've got an account thats been open for 3yrs and I'm on £28.00, dads account hes been on 2 yrs and upto £42. It all depends on the criteria that there looking for, I personally intend to run a mile if and when I get the magic £50.00. You tend to get the "oracle surveys" where you fill them in for a chance of a top prize, I dont do those, which may explain y I dont get many surveys!

In all honeslty its like mystery shopping, theres so many people chaseing the same job/ survey that there in the position to pick and choose.

Hope you don't think I'm trying to put a damper on your plans, would rather be honest than you working for nought.

Thanks for that mum2one, will check those vouchers now, Thanks for your honesty re yougov, if it ain't worth doing and I'm chasing nothing there is no point really, not when you have other things to do LOL, as I already do loads may give it a miss. Thanks for letting me know.

Right well no money making today, got a list of jobs I want to get through then it's off to see DS1 at the Lowery in his show tonigh, I'm so excited I can't wait.

Catch you all later
