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

Esmer you have just put some thing else on my to do and buy list,lol. I am finding it hard meeting myself at the moment. I got to bed at 1 am this morning and then hubby got me up at 7.30.

My sleep is seriously suffering. And to top it off Ads*nse of changed some thing so just as I was earning about £1 a day. It has gone to zero. I think I may find my efforts fruitless in the end. But I don't quit too easy.

Also if any of you guys come across Readbud. Do not go any where near it. The reviews are appalling. You are paid to read and rate reviews. But meanwhile the ads are uploading in the back ground and some have complained of aggressive viruses that have to be manually removed from hard drive as they escape software.

If you google Readbud review you will see how much it stinks. Got to keep my ladies safe.xxx

Sorry to hear about the car cost Pink, I really feel for you as our car will no doubt need work done to it when the mot is due, think the cambelt will be needing replacement, £300 for that and the tax is due around then too

It's rubbish when it costs so much, it just totally throws all your finances out of kilter because you can't not do it. I even phoned around and that price was with a discount!

Esmer, the rose icing is amazing looking

Good luck with your money making this weekend guys, I'm going to get on to TL and DY tonight to get some points under my belt.

Hi everyone, haven't been on here for a few days. Thanks to everyone who has done my polls and opinions on tolunny. If I haven't come across you on there just let me know. It's adding up okay but don't the opinions take time to do? I got about four or five thousand points added yesterday but I'm not sure whether they are from the polls and opinions as I still have some project opens but as I don't keep a tally of the surveys I have done Im not sure what's what.

I used a £6 off a £40 spend voucher at Mr T's yesterday and bulk bought a six pack of fairy washing up liquid at Costco today which I reckon saved a whole pound from if I had bought them on a two for £2 as they were in the supermarket before Christmas so as I had £7 in change in my purse afterwards I put it in my Christmas savings tin. I can't always afford to do this but while I can, I will.
Oh and was pleased that mr T had breakfast cereal on buy 2 get 1 free so stocked up on plenty of that as I was adding it all up as I went along. Actually came to just over £50 as I thought I might as well get the petrol voucher. Having said that they always put it up a penny when they have that offer on so only 4p a litre cheaper than at Mr M where I usually go. Still as they say "every little helps".
Sorry for the long post. Don't usually have anything to say about putting in the savings for Christmas as don't eBay or do load of other things.

Had a clear out of DD's cupboards, and its all big stuff now to sell. I have sent boxes of stuff to her daddys, seen as she will be going there I want her to be happy. So not much to sell now on ebay, I will have dd's Cot bed to sell once I get her new single bed, her booster seat for the dining table...... I will gumtree these. Other stuff I have is not worth selling, so i will freecycle

Thanks for all the compliments on the cakes....... im getting there, and as they say practice makes perfect...............

Sorry so many are having car problem, washing machine troubles............. mine blew up last year........ had to fork out with only little savings I had im so glad i have all of you guys now, and my sealed pot and my grocery challenge. I actually get paid on monday and for the first time in months I actually have few quid left in my bank account. Im so pleased with myself. I got a lot of dd's clothes for holidays, and perfume for xmas gifts, treated DD to a scooter for being an ANGEL........

I might not be making much money as the surveys just dont suit me. And unless I start selling stuff I need there is no more ebay. I am in a much better place, and the next plan is, at the end of the month if I have any of my salary left, I transfer it to my savings account.

This is not just about xmas and birthdays, and being money neutral its about saving for a home, getting myself a good credit rating and getting back on track. I am getting there and its all with the help from you guys.

So THANKS xxx:T:T

Well done Esther on your Mr T shop.

Esmer you are doing great with getting organised so well done with having money left over.

Kirsty, Hope you feeling better soon and get the work done and good luck with your Ebay.

I got another review done yesterday so mounting up slowly towards next voucher. Umming and ahhing over what to save for for OH's birthday. He wants a surround sound system as our sound only goes through the stereo at the moment and all the lips are out of sync and not the best option. Been having a look and seen some on Amazon for about £140, think I could possibly get this amount by August but wondering whether this would be a better present for Christmas instead (we usually get better Christmas presents than birthday). Think he will probs give me a list of dvds nearer the time which is what he usually does so might just wait till nearer the time.

Does anyone know whether once you put the Amazon voucher on to your Amazon account, do they still have a date they run out or is that just the date you are allowed to keep it for without putting it through Amazon?

Havent done much on loony for few days as been busy so will get into that again in the week, and woohoo, had forgotten all about it for a week or more.

Esmer, those cakes are so pretty!

Esmer - those cupcakes look amazing!!

I've got 8 open projects on 2loney at the moment so waiting for them to show on my account, hopefully when they are put on I won't have that long to go before I can redeem again

Well I have done my first fair and it was ok, i only made £15 but it was good to get feedback and got 3 more fairs from it, hopefully better laid out than this one, we were put in a side room with another lady doing manga drawings and the free face painter the room just got swamped with prams etc and was too hot, you could not see us at times lol and had kids grabbing at the table, also my display materials never turned up so they will be getting an email as i paid extra for next day delivery on Wednesday

Got loads pending on looney again, and hopefully a quieter week so I cna do some money making :j never played bingo for weeks :eek:
