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

Thats me done my challenges.

I have listed on Ebay, I dont have time for the surveys or dooyou.
Listed on Amazon, books.
My mum is giving my a load of DVD, CD's she was going to chuck and Im going to see if any of them any good for MusicMagpie.

House is in chaos, dishwasher arrived and the whole house is upside down. I did get my room cleaned today, the ironing done. All I have to do is hoover DD's room. We both had baths tonight, so all organised for the week ahead.

Im just going to put all this amazon, and ebay stuff in a box ready for packaging next week.

Tea and Toast and Bed I think.

night night all.€

Hmmm, Queen Nefertiti? Only one I can think of as the advert was on earlier for a documentary on her lol

Google images, you could use a cardboard box rolled for the headress and decorate with paper and foil, add costume jewellery (or make a cardboard necklace with tin foil) and use a big white sheet like a toga or a long white dress?

Sorry probably no help at all, my brain hurts lol

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/famouspeople/ This site might give you a few ideas. Florence Nightingale, Pocahontas. I had to dress up as a Victorian when I was at school, picked up items from charity shop.

I would imagine these could all be adapted a bit. I think the Cleopatra one looks the most fun

Well I got 905 points after my first day on dooyoo so quite pleased with that! Will try and do a couple of reviews a day, I started one yesterday for my kindle but my brain was frazzled so I didn't do it so will do that this evening as it's 600 points!

Thanks to those whose rated my reviews so far, I am trying to work through everyone and return the favour, find it abit confusing tho sometimes! Lol xxxx
