regarding Weight Watchers - I'll definitely be joining again once baby is out! Does that offer still count if you've been a member before?

The half price offer is online weight watchers. Don't forget cashback though - £20 on Top Cashback or only £15 on Quidco.

I have been member Many, many times :eek: (too many)!!! I just sign up with a new email address every time. When the deal runs out in 12 weeks, instead of paying £10 per month for your subscription to be ongoing you just cancel it and start again.

Very few of the items I want to review are in the dooyoo catalogue yet, perhaps because they are new toys. I have added 3 of them as a product suggestion so I will have to wait for dooyoo to add them before I can upload the review.

That's what happened to me - everything I wanted to review wasn't there - It's put me off a bit. I'll try and get some more done tonight.

Ebay listing's go live at dinner time - I paid the extra 6p to have them end when people were at home and able to put last minute bids in. I learnt the hard way that if you list late at night no-one tends to bid last minute and that always pushes the price up doesn't it?

Would it be possible for one of you clever peeps to compile a list of everybodies dooyoo names that is then edited as some one else joins. I would think that it could be very helpful. QUOTE]


i agree. any clever/bored people? lol

Still on DooYoo, have added a few of you and rated your reviews (honestly, I'm afraid!) will try to get to the rest of you too x

Survey sites are beginning to get on my nerves, think I joined too many so might drop one or two - but which ones?!

Have done, and was really impressed with your reviews, for a new member you've done really well and obviously made an effort. (I have read some utterly awful ones recently!)

I had a party last night and instructed everyone, i`ll provide the food but they must all bring the drink.

So i knocked up some food as cheaply as possible, it took more effort cooking myself but was alot cheaper than opening a packet. I bought a lot when produsts were on buy one get one free and used one and kept one.

Well everyone brought loads of drink. And what they didnt drink they said i could keep so we gots loads left for hampers as we dont drink. And everyone brought a little gift so some recycling will take place there.

I `m going to try ebay again but not sure where you get your time from. I`ve joined dooyoo....susan_

And as i use online banking everyday i thought any change thats not a whole pound i`ll put into another account everyday.

I`m also going to use all the craft things i have at home for cards and things and not buy anymore for at least jan and hopefully longer

Hopefully I`ll get to £20

Happy New Year all, happy gifty, thrifty new year

I'd like to join, what do I have to do?

I would like to join this group too.
I have been spend/cash neutral for 3 years now with christmas spending thanks to MSE forum threads which have inspired me.
I even got a request from a magazine a few months ago who wanted to run an article on me re a cash neutral christmas because of my previous posts on MSE but I declined their offer as the rest of my family are quite private people and didnt want their faces in a magazine.
I have been able to do it with earning money via quidco and ebay.Earning some vouchers on pigsback etc also but really its mainly about ebay for me.
For 2010 I need to be better organised so would like to start planning in Jan,thats my reason for joining you.
I dont have much cash for Jan sales shopping this year which is a shame as thats where I usually do the bulk of my christmas shopping for the next year.But I will look out for great deals and bargains throughout the next year and check the forums reguarly for notices on bargains and sales.
I tried to use the organised christmas website last year and liked it but was not organised enough as I found it too late but next year I plan to be very well organised.
This will be a great way of me keeping track of my christmas planning activities and hopefully I will be able to give some money saving tips as well as enjoying the ones posted by others.
