*NEW* Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & Occasions 2010

Thanks Elyphant, i'm going to go rewrite one of them now, I think I have 4 locked so will be 1/4 of the way there! Can't bring myself to do more in one go! Hopefully do one a day till they are all ok then email and ask for them to be unlocked. I'm saving up for a new camera, and have about £85 of the £120 I need (real bargain, 12.1mp fab new camera that retails for around £300 and my friend works for the company that makes them high up, so he can get huge discount!!) so with the £20 amazon I can buy a memory card for it I think :O)!
Mum2one, those prices are amazing, enjoy it! Think I will have to find out how much my old college charges!! xx

well had a list as long as your arm of things I wanted to do on my day off!

Managed to try every survey sent to me (which was only 4) and got accepted on 2
did one dooyoo review last night and have been rating back so on 34495 at mo.
done 2 hours study
sorted my front garden out and took rubbish out from back garden

Am absolutely shattered but managed to sneak an hour out in the sun with the sun loungers and it was heaven! I love the sun!

Well done Pammyj, and everyone else too:T:T

I love the sun too but it makes me slack on my jobs etc.... as Ive just been sat reading my book in the garden spent the past hour cathing up on surveys and clicks and managed a £5 amazon redeem but if I had been more on the ball would have been double

Oh well we do have to make the most of the sun...:cool:

Well done everyone on the challenges this month, your all doing a lot better than me.

I'm still waiting to be able to cash in my £50 cheque from DooYoo - I seem to have lost a few points. Have written another review this morning and will do a couple more when hubby goes to the football later.

I've got my shopping.com reviews up to 23 this morning so want to do as many of those as I can this afternoon.

I looked on the local college website for false nails and they charge £25 :eek:, I've only payed £20 at my local salon!! So don't think i'll be going for that, but I am doing a make up course and we have to practise on each other so technically I get a free make over each week even if I do wash it off as soon as I get home.

Have you noticed that we can now see how many times members have thanked others. Mum2one you have thanked over 30,000 times :eek: elyphant none lol

day started off well with getting things done but have now come to a stand still and I cant be bothered!

Got some good news yesterday - I got the job that I had applied for at DD2's playgroup :j - it is a relief playgroup worker position, so I will only be covering for sickness, courses and holidays, but I will get paid for it :T. It will probably start in September once they have done references and CRB checks. So, it will be more pennies at least.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Thats brilliant and definitely the right place to begin. My friend did the same and they as time went on she did more and more hours. Good to have on your CV if thats the route you want to go down as well.
well done :T

Well done Everyone.

That's excellent news Janebo - I have been roped into volunteering to listen to the kids read. Have CRB already from when I helped teach them Kerbcraft. This is after Whitsun though.

Thats brilliant news, must be catching, starting a craft club with the kids, do a trail between whitsun and July...... then start properly September. something 12 months ago I'd of run a mile in the other direction, but with the brilliant suggestions on here, I'm giving it a go.....
Thou may need to put a bottle of wine in the fridge - just in case of emergency!! xx
