***New*** Thrifty Gifty Money Making for Christmas and all occasions 2011***

zangels

Good afternoon every one.
I managed to get a christmas savings card today from asda. I had to giigle when the check out lady said "they put them away through november and december as peolpe just put the money on them to get the bonus money off the shopping every week, the cheek of it!" lol all i could think was that will be mse then :rotfl:
I put £5 on tostart me off.
Just checked my ebay totals so far and minus fees and postage i have made around £150 so far :T
Just checkedd my email and no surveys through today strangely.

Hi everyone, hope all is having a good day today

Dd has been doing my head in, being noisy and naughty so decided to go out whilst hubby looked after her. Went to boots to get her some snacks, one of those suction cup plate sets and some new cutlery for her. Decided to use my giftcard expecting the cashier to say you have £20 odd left and was amazed to hear I had £100 left after payment (£36 left on ac after buying dd's toys last week too)! I was convinced it was less, so if the 75% off ever happens I will be one happy bunny.

Sorted through my Next purchases and took back the items dd didn't really need so that's another £35 back in the account, although it will no doubt be used on more clothes, costs a fortune when they are little doesn't it!

So close yet so far on tolluner to another voucher this month, need to play a few more games on bp to get a voucher there too. up to £150 profit on ebay this month as well but lost the will power to list anything else I hate wrapping them up and doing the post office bit lol

Also those who did the casino offer in grabbit people are saying it's now changed to £20 instead of the higher amiunt, may be worth looking at the thread if you went for it.

Elysia - wish happy birthday to dd for us :bdaycake:

Horrible day today. One of the dogs woke me a4am and again at 5.30 being sick.
Then I went out drove up to the turning bay and the woman who parks in it parked her car right behind me , got out and starting shouting at me about a note that was left on her friends car that was actually blocking the whole turning place. I said it was not me so then she accused DH. It was him and I said she should query it with him. She became totally abusive so I asked her to move which she declined to do so I tried to manouvre round her unfortunately my foot slipped and I hit her car and dented it. I apologised profusely but she accused me of doing it deliberatley. I didnt. Eventually she got in her car saying she knew someone who might be able to do it. My husband wants it to go via the insurance so went to tell her. She then started getting abusive to him and threatening us a, with her husband and b, with damaging our car. I am still shaking and feel coz I hate this sort of thing and would just report it quietly but she seems strangely reluctant for it to go through yhe insurance. Now feeling totally depressed about the whole thing.

Maybe she has something to hide Gemini, if she is not wanting it to go through the insurance, just forget about it, sounds like she has a real problem! I find a lot of people are like that now and that the world owes them a favour, she is probably just aggressive because of her own short comings. If you want to keep it right go through the insurance. You never know what that sort of person is like. Hugs to you, sounds like you need them.

I found more clothes and ice skates, so I put them on ebay as well, and the ice skates have a bid on them already, and my tiara has a watcher. Be nice to get everything sold. I have put all the clothes in zip bags, all ready for the brown paper.

I have found some other stuff to list and prob find even more when I clear out DD's room, and my room.

She and her OH have just knocked on the door to see whether it was going through the insurance we said yes. He was fine and then she started shouting again. When asked for her details she refused to give them so I have handed it all over to the insurance company and told them the whole saga.
Thanks for the hugs esmer.

No thing happening with the ebay stuff I listed yesterday but early days.

Best thing going through the insurance. Let them handle it and then you dont have to worry so much. bigs hugs from me too.
I had no bids on my ebay stuff until the last minuite with alot of things so dont worry about that.

Oh hun she sounds a piece of work. Just let the insurance company deal with it/her now. Hope it's all sorted soon. Hugs xxx

Would def let insurance company do it, that way if she is reluctant with them she loses out and you have done all you can hunny.
