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

Giggles_Fairy

managed to complete a few on one poll today which was nice as I dont usually have any! Also getting myself organised and have created a folder in my favourites for survey sites and started adding the pages to this. That way I can just work through the list each day and not forget to check any .

Got my 14.70 cheque from MusicMagpie the other day and have put that in the bank today. Will be adding it to the christmas fund when it clears . Still waiting on my VO voucher. Viva says that it checks if all surveys have been paid each month so many those that have not had some paid will get them paid on the monthly clean up?

My cat is not very well which has been occupying ym mind alot recently. We have spent just short of £200 this week and looks like he may need a scan and possibly an operation which I reckon will probably be in the region of £300. So starting to think where this money will come from! Although more worrying is the potential outcome of all of this.

No luck on any job apps yet so frustrating! Its seems pointless spending so many years studying to then be rejected from all jobs because I have no experience! One Cv has been passed on to the client last friday and another sent my the application form which I have sent back tonight. The closing date is tomorrow and interviews are on thursday next week so fingers crossed!

Thanks for the heads up about OP yesterday Elysia, I think I managed 4 out of them and now have just gone over the half way point.

T seems to be building up again ok, havent done any opinions for a while but been doing surveys and polls.

Been trying to a review a day or every other day on DY, that is mounting up gradually as well, not quite a quarter way there but it all helps.

Morning all, last day of work today before 2 weeks holiday

I had an email this morning about joining Sh0pper Th0ughts this morning where I get points for Mr T's points and other vouchers. Has anyone heard of this before?

I hope everyone is having a nice morning. My DS and DH are out for the day on a trip with DS's nursery so I have the house to myself for most of the day . It doesn't happen often so I'm making the most of it!

This Easter holiday has been great for my money making! I've managed to make £20ish on Ebay, I'm over halfway on T'Looney and I'm up to £15.85 on 1poll. Yesterday I even managed to get my card making things out and made more cards to add to my stock. It all helps as shop bought cards are so expensive now!

I'm going to share my time today between card making and surveys. It's my brother's 30th birthday in July, he always wants things from Amazon so I want to get more vouchers by then. I might even write a few Duyu reviews

Hi everyone, bit of an unproductive day today, feeling completely fed up and not able to shake it off at the moment.

Survey Friends turned out to be a waste of time, I emailed back everything they asked, and their response? You have more than one account and have broken the rules so tough no voucher for you - in a nutshell. I think I would know if I had a bloody account, firstly I would have heard of the site before earlier this week but secondly how could I use my email address to open two accounts? It would have told me I was already registered! Bunch of cowboys.

Sadly I am getting a bit worn down by it all now, the problem ebay buyer wont close the claim or escalate it to prevent me claiming the money for as long as possible, anothe buyer who took two weeks to pay emailed this morning to state she sent the wrong amount by p/o (didn't think to check whether it was correct doh!) so that needs to be resolved probably at my own cost

Hope everyone else is having a better day

Sorry to hear about the problems Savvy. If you are getting fed up with it all, don't give in, just cut down a bit, until you feel more motivated. That's what I did. I must admit though, I have completed EVERY survey I've been sent - all except Toluny, I've done the one's sent to my inbox, but that's it. I've not gone looking for any We are the middle of April - why have they not processed the redeem I made in December??? GRrrrrr.

I've done quite well today - redeemed £10 for opinion something or other (I forget now) and I qualified for a £5 amazon voucher for one survey on Toluny (it was part two for one I did last month). Ok it's only £15 but while I was adding the amounts to my spreadsheet I noticed my amounts - have a look at yours if you are lacking motivation or inspiration - Mine - £599 cash and £358 in vouchers - but the whole of last year I earned £950 or thereabouts. :j:j:j So I've beat last years total already. :D:D

Come on if I've done it, so can you. You really can - it just takes a little bit more effort. If you're struggling, give yourself a break for a bit, but don;t forget the HUGE pat on the back for yourself, for all your hard work so far. :A

Wow Elysia, I didn't realise you guys made so much money out of this! I've joined a couple more survey sites now so am hoping to make a few pennies this year Made it to £40 on DY so just £10 more to get a cheque for my husband's birthday! Off on hols next week so no money making - just spending. Have nice Easters everyone!

You too Emma. Well done on DooU. I'm off on hols for a few days myself. I'll still be doing my surveys though. I'd rather cut my left arm off, than leave my computer at home.

Wow Elysia, that's amazing!!! If you keep going like that, think how much you'll have made by Christmas

Just to let you all know, shopping.com are running another promotion. I've just seen it on their Facebook page so I'll copy the details on to here:

Our customers need good quality review to help decide what to buy. Write up to 10 reviews on products on Shopping.com and earn £10. The best quality review wins a bottle of Chanel No.5, or Paco Rabanne's One Million - it's your choice.
It runs from tomorrow until Tuesday 3 May, or when 600 reviews have been written, whichever comes first.
£10 max for the written reviews which should be 50 words. And they'll be a chance to earn another £10 with another promo coming out in the next few days in time for Easter!

I think I'll check that there are 10 things on there that I can review before I start. Once I have found my 10 items then I'll get writing

Thanks so much for the info Nicky - I'll start on that first thing in the morning
