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

You lot talking of holidays are making me jealous. I hae never had a holiday abroad and it must be 5 years since we had a holiday over here now. Might be more. Did have a weekend away a couple years ago on my birthday but daughter didnt come. Only ever had three holdiays as a family and she is 15 this year.

Have posted two Ebay items. The other pair of jeans still havent been paid for, the woman messaged me Saturday after they finished to say her Paypal is mucking up and wouldnt let her pay but she had phoned them and they were going to get ti sorted by Tuesday. Well I sent her an invoice yesterday and then messaged her again in the evening to ask when she was going to pay but no reply. If she hasnt replied by tonight will start the proceedings so I can see if second highest bidder still wants them or if not I will relist.

Didnt get to do any daily clicks after all yesterday so will do them today.

Have manged to catch up on a few bits this morning, done a couple of surveys that I've not been screened out of and got 30p of onepoll, I'm on £32.90 now so hopefully will get payout soon, I seem to be checking it every hour lol:D

Of to do a bit more clicks and things before i get the kids from school, hope everyone is having a nice day.

Had quite a good day on Toluna. I have earned over 15,000 points just today! 30p on Onepoll too.

I just managed to get 30p on One Poll and a few thousand on Toluna. I woke up 15 minutes before my alarm clock and the first thing that popped into my head was 'I could do a bit extra on Toluna' :rotfl: I've been so busy that I haven't been on there much so I've only made an extra 5,500, but hopefully it will be much more by the end of May.
I managed to get 75 reviews done on Shopping.com so I'm really pleased with that. Their website says reviews will be paid by the end of May so that will come in very handy for the zillions of summer birthdays we seem to have in our families, there are 6 just in July.

I know what you mean about passports, I really can't see why it has to be so expensive. I know they have to do security checks etc, but I'm sure they inflate the price because they know we have no choice but pay it. It would be good if there were 2 agencies that could issue passports and then they would compete against each other with price

Hope everyone is well

Well done nicky :j

I know what you mean about passports, DS1s has just run out so thats something else I need to pay out, although not planning a trip abroard this year so have a bit of leway on it.

Just got 10p on onepoll, up to £33.10 now, not far of payout:j

Well done Sarah and Nicky. I just checked Toluna (second I got up LOL) and have reached the payout point. In fact, I had 86,000, so I have ordered an Amazon voucher. I'm into it again now - just need to do the same with dooyoo and Bingo port.

I just went to Toluna to join up, said email aready added so asked for password which they sent. Signed in and it said my account has not been transfered from somewhere else, clicked on link and it took me to Ciao Surveys so must be same company. Thought I had found another one I could join lol.

Posted all my Ebay items, had to pay £4.30 fees altogether so made £46 profit as didnt have to pay postage as had stamps.

Have you tried Valued Opinions, GFK and New Vista?

You can also do It's your view surveys on quidco (and the partner surveys) and get 70p each one. If you don't qualify you still get 1p. Well, it mounts up I suppose.

rufusdog52

I do Valued Opinions and You Gov as well as Ciao Surveys. I get the New Vista emails once in a blue moon but not regularly so stopped doing them. Will have a look at Its Your View. Oh forgot, I do Lightspeed too.

Only about £1.50 off the £50 mark now on You Gov but the surveys have slowed down a bit since the election, was getting plenty during that.

Will get back into Dooyoo again next week, or week after, just cant seem to be bothered writing reviews at the moment.

Rufus - I totally recommend the Sun Newspaper holidays. You can have a 3 night stay (weekend) or 4 night (Mon to Fri). There is even the possibility to upgrade to a full week (which we're doing). It only costed about £200 for 3 adults, 1 child and the dog.

You just have to save about 7 vouchers. The only downfall is that you have to provide upto five dates and five places. Once you've taken the holiday though, you get a priority booking form and you get to book online before the postal applications, then 90% of the time you get where and when you want.

I hope that if you do't get away, that you get some nice days out. You know what they say - a change is as good as a rest (ooooh I saound like my Mum:rotfl:).
