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

Can I join please!?

I did the listing of presents on an excel sheet this year and how much I spent on each person. With weddings, special anniversaries, christenings, births, birthdays, Christmas, Mothers & Fathers Day etc I spent £1150 this year (This doesn't include what hubby spent on me which maybe is another £150-£200?) thanks to Grabbits etc.

Dunno if that's bad or good compared to you guys when I don't have any kids yet but I do have 3 nieces & a 'nephew' (my best mates wee one) and had a couple of births and weddings this year!

So the idea this year is to do the list as I have done this year but also to get money neutral - or at least more so!

Hiya Elliemoo, Kelda and Doodledo.

You are most welcome to join - the more the better!!!

If you haven't joined any survey sites yet, that's the thing to do first, but take your time, it's not January yet. Just do what you can, no need to join them all in one go (the tips are on page 1, post 4) - it would take forever.

Remember it's Christmas, enjoy the break and appreciate the efforts you have gone to this year, and come back all raring to go afterwards.

We look forward to seeing you all again.

It doesn't matter how much you spend hun, we are all here together to earn the money to cover the costs. Whether you spend £100 and earn £1000, or spend £1000 and only earn £100, it's all extra that you don't have to find from elsewhere. Money Neutral is the aim though.

Thanks Jamtart - It will be lovely to see you here regularly again. You didn't let us down, you gave us the tools to help ourselves, and for that I am truly grateful. I couldn't have done 2010 without your help and everyone else who posted on the board.

You can all go and polish your halo's now! :A

Im joining this year too! I am waiting on a £15 voucher from Toluna!
I am with Toluna, Pinecone Research, Lightspeed, Springboard UK, Hi Epanel and Sony! OH is also signed up to Sony although he doesnt know it! lol!
Decided whenever I get paid by Pinecone I will put the £3 in a money tin and not open until Christmas!
Also plan on doing a big Ebay after Christmas and will have to hide that money somewhere too!
Already started on a few birthdays for next year with all the grabbits I have had so looking good already!

EDIT - Just joined IPSOS and Onepoll!

Hi elysia, i`m here, big thanks for opening this one, just downloaded my spreadsheet. Thanks Jam tart

I`ve been hitting a few survey sites but not got any vouchers yet but on the way

BHS is having a sale more than 50% so I`m in the red at the moment, but not technically because I have money coming back from cashback sites

Quidco - Gala Bingo deposit £5 got £20 cashback (validated already)


Onepoll - ceasars bingo deposited £10 had £20 cashback and won £30 (validated already )
lv insurance £5 a month £85 cashback and £30 m&s vouchers

Bingoport - £5 amazon redeem

pinecone - £3 vouchers

Topcashback - Vistaprint order £5.05 CB and Teacher Pen to sell at spring fair

I`ve been busy last couple of days lol

I'd like to join in, too, though as someone in full-time work I'm not sure about doing the surveys as I think I'd have to register as self-employed for tax purposes, if I read correctly, and I'm not sure I want to do that. How possible is it to join in without doing them?
