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

Savvybunny2009

Oh kec hun, I really hope the customer pays the outstanding balance, it's awful when you have no control over it, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it will get better ((hugs))

Seems a bit of an expensive month for everyone with things breaking and extra unexpected costs

Thanks everyone for listening to me moan the last few days, managed to get the 2nd policy confirmed as cancelled this morning, refund next week minus admin fee, which insurance has agreed to pay for. I have informed them I will be putting a complaint in on monday so it gives them time to decide how to deal with this, it has affected 1000 people apparantly.

Right, I have a child free weekend so me and hubby will be having some quality time so wont be around til Sunday evening, have a lovely weekend all xx

Have a lovely weekend Savvy x

Good morning everyone, hope we're all feeling better today. OH is off with his son to a birthday party that starts at 1015... What an ungodly hour for the weekend.

I might try and bake again this weekend. And after writing that and having a little think about what I just wrote I've decided against it. Might do some bread to have with tea instead lol.

Chel I'll PM you about the other place.

Elysia I wish they were all like VO, quick to answer queries, quick to pay out, a redeem a month... Oh well...

Giggles I love product tests, I didn't have to buy any washing gel last year because I kept getting them, and they would often send me two bottle two as we do so much washing in this house!

sorry not been around much last week. have been in a bit of a can't be bothered mood:(

kec hope your OH get the money he is owed

legend sorry to hear about your washing machine

savvy glad you got your insurance sorted.

we changed our car insurance so I cancelled the old direct debit online. then I got an e mail to say I had cancelled the new one as well oops! it turns out that the old company and the new one are part of the same company (even though there is £100 difference) and the new insurance has the same name as the old one online

chel I got that voucher too, will have to spend it!

sorry i can't remember what else i have read but hope everyone has a good week end.

won't be on over the week end but will be back on Monday hopefully in a better mood....

DDraig - hope you had a lovely birthday yesterday xx

Savvy - Fingers crossed you get the insurance sorted out and something by way of compensation from them (Maybe ask for 3 months free as a gesture of goodwill from them?)

Kec - I don't know what to say hun, money worries for anyone is awful and I really hope that your debtors come good and there is light at the end of the tunnel for you.

I had four items on ebay that finished yesterday, and all four sold! One is still to pay but the other three paid straight away. I have one item that was won on 7th Feb that I have a Non- paid buyer dispute going through on currently, and I have managed to transfer £100 out of paypal which is what I wanted to make for the month, I still have funds in there so am well chuffed that have made the money I wanted by mid way through the month.
Got to pay the balance on the Sun holiday by the end of this month, and also car tax due but put away each month to cover this.
OH still doing overtime so has pretty much sorted out his overdraft - shame he hasn't been able to start on mine!

When we got home from school yesterday got the kids making chocolate muffins of which there are now 3 left! Football training got cancelled this morning, due to the weather so have spent the morning doing some more ebaying and kids in front of tv watching George of the Jungle!
OH going to finish painting the kitchen this afternoon, and I had some lovely flowers delivered from work as a well done for a good meeting with a client yesterday so all in all a good start to the weekend!
haven't won the lottery tho.....

Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend what ever you are all doing Foxy xx

Savvy - you have a lovely weekend.

Twinkle - send some of that bread around to us - I Lurrve HM bread, especially granary or anything like that. You have a good weekend too.

Bunbun - we all get like that hun. You enjoy yourself over the weekend, after all your hard work you need a treat, you deserve it. Do some thing nice for yourself, even if it's only a long soak in the bath. You'll feel better and raring to go come Monday. If it's the money making getting you down - take a minute to add up your totals, you've done so well - you'll be inspired again, I know you will.

For those who are in need of a new washing machine there is a comet clearance auction site. We bought our last washing machine from there and our diswasher. Usually it may have a dent or something, it is always listed what is cosmetically wrong and as in our case didn't matter as it was on the side and going in a unit space. We found it a lot cheaper.

hth someone.
Take care

Wow thanks for that Jayne - I'll add it to my favourites list for future use.

Chel - You need to upload them to photobucket first - it's free. After that I can't help as I haven't done it in ages. Esmer usually posts photos, maybe you could pm her? I'm sure she wouldn't mind.

Foxy - sounds like you had a good week too. There's always time for the lottery - pick up a ticket this afternoon. Better still if you havent done it before, go through quidco for £4 cashback.

Bun bun I felt like that week before last, and I think at some point or another we all will. Everyone is entitled to have their good and bad days, and after all, February is the worst month of the whole year (statistically). Keep your chin up and if you need us we will all be here for you to try and give you that extra bit of motivation you might need.

Jayne thanks for that link, I love it already! Moving out of rented end of the summer so will have to buy a washing machine so will definately be looking here first. Thanks hun x

Have decided that baking will now be a pizza (saw that girl do it on Baking Made Easy). If it has got easy in the title then even I can do it Haha will let you know how my disaster goes later!

Will try and post a picture up of my cheesecake earlier this week. Have just tried to sign up to photobucket and someone has already got twinklekat as a user name. How rude!
