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

Tigger888

Hi - I'm Gill - been a real lurker this year but determined to be more involved in 2010!

I've got OH and two DDs (8 & 4) and am very organised this year - just want to earn the vouchers for next year now!

I too love lists and will be starting on my 2010 planner throughout the holidays.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hi all, joining again,
I'm Pam, single mum to 3 kiddies 15, 8 and 6.
Am looking to do some lovely homemade stuff next year properly, me and the two younguns like to get involved.
I bought some cheap choc to melt down today and put in our teddy case, to make a nice little gift.
Was going to have a go at choc truffles but with the cream they only last 3 days but they look so impressive

Oh get me getting all crafty and homely!

Not all truffle recipes need cream, the one I do uses cake crumbs, chocolate, apricot jam and any spirit you want

I'm joining you all this year, always up for trying something new

I've got my gift notebook ready and have started thinking what I'd like to buy people, and where to find it in sales. I'm saving up again on Tesco points and Pigsback after spending them on this xmas. I plan to get enough together for at least 4 gifts worth £10 each between them all. I do Quidco too, but am not so good at totting up on it. The rest of the money I normally spend n gifts, I'm hoping to get with ebay, carboots, etc etc.

Can't wait to save even more money!

Hello!

I would like to join you all for 2010 as I am a total christmas lover and spend way way way too much on gifts. As I already have 2010 as my no spending year (non essentials) I would like to cut this right down.

I am a mommy to one baby boy and hopefully trying for another in 2010! I live in a two bedroom flat with my lovely other half. I'm 22 and work part time, I spend the rest of the time cooking, cleaning and playing with my cheeky toddler. Oh and glued to MSE!

Hi all, i'd love to join in if thats ok.
My names Leanne, i'm a student and I have a tendancy to spend a bit more than I should on gifts that I rush to buy last minute. Hopefully if I see what everyone on this thread is doing to get organised then it'll inspire me to so the same
