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

Morning everyone

Lovely day here today, going up town for a walk in a bit when daughter is ready to go.

Had £21 payment from Fat Cheese this morning, used a bit of it as youngest daughter wants a new outfit for the Dickens Festival they have here each year. She wants to go as a maid this year so just ordered a metre of black poly sheeting to make a skirt, cost me £3.70 inc pp, I already have loads of white poly sheeting so can make her an apron and mop cap, she will just need to find a long sleeve black top to go underneath. Very MSE this year and hopefully she will wear same outfit next year too. Will have a look in charity shops for top when I go up in a bit.

Did all the clicks this morning and had a long survey for 10p lol on Ciao, took for ever but at least it completed this time.

Have a good day everyone xx

I have managed a few surveys without being kicked off :j and I'm just doing a couple more reviews for shopping.com.

Getting a bit bored with them now though:( they do your head in after a while

Found a suitable top for daughters victorian outfit, was only £1 so very pleased, can make a start on the apron and hat on Sunday. Will be nice to have it all ready early this year and has saved me a lot of money.

Rufus, What's that for? I bet they will be great.

Have done loads of surveys lately. I must be upto the 20,000 toluna challenge - I'm just waiting for the surveys to close and for the points to be added to my account.

how do you use dooyoo? im trying to save money up for driving lessons first arghhhhh lol

You just need to sign up. Then you write reviews on things you eat or use or do! Dvd's, days out, food, electrial equipment, anything really! If it is in the dooyoo catalogue you can review it straight away, and if not you can make a suggestion and they will add it.

Each review over 150 words earns you 50p. Each time someone reads it you earn 1.5p. You need to review other peoples and then they return the rating - this is what takes the time and puts lots of people off.

I really must get back into it again. I've earned almost £65 since January but others have earned £150 which is brilliant.

HTH

If you have a bit of time to spend today or tomorrow - sign up to shopping.com as the promotion ends on the 16th. As long as you write reviews in mulitples of 5 you can get £1 per review, but hurry!!!!

yes this will be my third cheque this year, but you do have to put the time in tho!

Got a busy night waiting for a unicorn to visit my garden (LOL it's a game I am REALLY addicted to on facebook, and have just got to the level where you can attract unicorns which is the highest so getting excited lol) but have had about £5 on onepoll this week :O) will get my bum into gear soon I promise! xx
