    woohoo finally got over £20 on quidsinuk so will get that in the next few days. This has taken months and months and only got to £20 this year because I won £10 when they used to do the draw! otherwise it would have took another year.
    Thanks QIUK but thats me done from there now :D

    Happy New Year All!!!

    I'm getting back into the swing of things, I did 2 dooyoo reviews yesterday, well actually one was technically today, just about, lol.
    I shall go back through this post and add any user names to my circle of friends, mines the same as on here, Sylphraven.
    For the sake of the challenge, I have started this year with 4395points on dooyoo, so I know anything over this goes towards the challenge total.

    I may even compile that list, if your lucky ;)

    have been a lurker recently- tend to stick to the sister organised thread but this year am going whole hog and joining here as well, plus the declutter thread to help find ebay goodies and old style to push my groceries budget... well thats the plan.

    Off to join dooyoo- will have the same username.

    :jHAPPY NEW YEAR THRIFTY GIFTY THREAD 2010 :j

    Hope you all had a lovely night and aren't too worse for wear lol!

    Dooyoo challenge... just checked and I have 13620 points this morning that I won't count. I don't know why or where I've got this from, but I'm thinking 20,000 points = £5? So we need 80,000 points to make £20?? (
    So I need 80,000 plus my 13620= 93620 total.)

    Here I go.... that's 160 reviews at 500 points a time, that's just over 5 reviews everyday between today and 31st, not including reviews. Hope that helps someone, though it's more for me to get my slightly hungover head around lol :rotfl:

  • Looked at the M&S sale just yesterday for the first time so I have missed most of the bargains but I still managed to order some knitted slippers(£2 a pair) for the girls for next year and sparkly tights(only age 4-5 left) which were also in the 3 for 2 so I am getting 3 pairs for £2.
    Thats it so far for Jan sale shopping.
    I still have loads of toiletry sets and cosmetic sets left over from last years Jan sale shop as I had £100 cash saved up in my piggy bank and just blew it all in boots 75% off sale.So I do have a little stash of gifts already,need to do a fresh gift inventory asap so I dont end up with too much again.
