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

My machine is like that legend - It's standard nowadays. I only use the one cycle - and that's about 85 mins. My quickwash is 29 mins, and uses cold water and is for one item not 1.5g.

I hope you stocked up on the strawberry conditioner (small bottle) and the Bold 2in1 gel. I love a bargain.

Sparkly - I don't think I have you on Toluuny either. If you find me (and leave me a message) I'll add you too. I'm the same username.

Sorry I'm awol a bit lately - this Tesco thing is addictive. Only done one shop so far but keep reading the thread to see if there's something I'm missing out on. I keep getting screened lately it's not fair. I had a survey that paid £5 paypal yesterday if I signed up to a panel (about workwear) and I couldn't log in - so I missed out on that too.

Twinkles - how are you both? I hope things are getting easier.

Lol love it. I'm ok thanks, back at work this morning (but still manage to come on here!!) still in a bit of pain, probably shouldn't have come in but I'm here now. Car has gone in for a service today so fingers crossed it's not too much money... Have budgeted for it so not too bad. OH seems so much happier now that we've spoken it's just a shame I feel like dog poo at the moment!!

Legend I'm glad you're having fun with your machine. We have a 30deg 30 min quick wash on ours that soaks the clothes so you always have to have another spin, but I usually just do a 30deg 1hr20 cycle unless they are particularly 'soiled' (literally with soil not other muc!).

Morning all

Have just redeemed on DY for £20 amazon, I have 73000 something on T so hoping that might add up to the 80000 by next week if I can do the sponsored polls of an evening. When I finally get these vouchers plus the T one already ordered I will have enough for OH's birthday present. Well pleased about that. Wont be ordering it until nearer July time as his bday beginning August and I dont want him to find it dont work like the sat nav he had for Christmas.

Have managed to get through quite a few surveys on SN this week, been leaving the email in my inbox if I have been screened out or if they say no surveys and trying again later on. Am up to just over £17 on there and done two more this morning.

Well done Legend on getting the washing machine. I have a quick wash on mine which is about 30 mins, not sure how much you are supposed to put in but I put in a normal wash load?? It washes fine, think its 40 degrees so I have done two lots this morning. I love it as it spins everything so well, its nearly dry when it comes out.

Off to do a bit of sewing for a change lol, another top ready to sew up, catch you all later xx

Sorry been a bit busy last few days, I have been doing really well with my jewellery sales, mainly name DS stylus chains/leash thing I made for my daughter originally, also got some fab can beads and they have went down really well, also made some fimo beads and these have sold well and its all just my friends

I was asked to do a stall at our school today and I think it would have been really profitable but I was working

looney os mounting slowly at the moments and just waiting for money to be added to SN and should get a redeem

£59 added to my savings up to now this week

Wow Susie - That's a lot. Fab sales hun.

Rufus well done on your redeem

TwinkleKat - I'm glad your feeling a little better at home, shame you're not feeling much better in yourself. Take it easy over the weekend.

Well I did my shopping, it was OH's day off so he came too. I kept all the things on my DTD list in a basket and told him when we pay, pretend that's for my mum. I did such a good job of convincing him, he wanted to go and drop Mum's shopping to her. What a banana!!! I've come back and double checked the prices to make sure they are the same, and they are - so I expect a £55 voucher towards next weeks shopping.

I don't think I'm saving much though, as where I would normally buy cheaper brands - I'm having the better brand for the same price. I must have six months worth of cereal, dog food, and laundry products though. I won't need to buy them for a while.

Well done Elysia! I am waiting my next voucher! So far I have had ones for £20.42 and £23.00 and todays should be £22ish! So not massive shops but stocking up on cereals, fabric conditioner and jars of sauces! Stuff I only ever buy when its on offer usually! Think this will only last a few weeks but I am gonna make the most of it whilst I can! I am eagerly awaiting Monday/Wednesday price changes! Really need to stock up on detergent and if I can get an offer to pay me to take it away well the I really will be laughing! Such a shame I have no dog or cats! lol

elysia2003

Woohoo - it's free listing over the weekend on ebay. Let's all have a spring clean sort out, and sell our unwanted stuff.

Just use quick sell or advanced sell - Turbo lister is not free

I will have Natasha Cot to list, but it will be pick up only........... no way I am posting that :rotfl:

Did my tesco shop, and im hoping to have about 30 DTD voucher. ~I got the Olay day and night cream, which was 10.20 in Mr T and 5.00 in Asda also the strawberry fabric softner, and mccain wedges, lots of other we bits cheese. I never really bought stuff that was different, other than the olay........... I think if I get my voucher then very happy but I did buy more expensive stuff. my shopping is normally 40.00 today was 70.00.......... take 20.00 off for skin care as I dont include that in my shopping, so I was still 10 more in my shopping. So I do hope ~I get a good voucher

Hi everyone, been checking my email lots today to see if my Tesco DTD voucher had arrived, no sign as yet, was hoping to get some lamb, strawberry comfort and some wine but I guess I will have to wait patiently.

On the bright side, I caught up with some surveys and have reached payout on Snetwrk

My notebooks from funkypign arrived today too and I absolutely love them! Our canvas should arrive tomorrow too but I just hope the quality is ok, you know what it's like with enlargements sometimes!

Whilst I remember, has anyone heard anymore regarding the shopping.com reviews, which was the mini challenge. I know the offer is now closed but has anyone been paid?

Forgot to add I have finally sat down and looked through the Hummingbird bakery cookbook, it's sooo pretty, I will definately be baking again next week having been inspired again
