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

mum2one

giggles -thats absolutely brilliant news, sounds really positive.

Thank you for all the compliments re Miss hoodie, the smile just didn't come off her face for the whole 2 weeks, - she loved every moment of it, bar being kissed by the dolphin - she says it tasted like fish!! She loved the dolphins, and the sealion, thought his kiss was tickly.
she is one in a million, she never asked for anything, she spent some of her hol money buying me a pair of earrings. Even now when she talks about it, her face lights up, shes asked can she save up and take me for her 18th....... (bring on the tears from me!!),

we've just ordered a wack of photos 2ngt, - a few from bday, wack of hol photos, she brought herself 2 photo albums saying dom Rep, made out of palm leaves, so said she could have her own set of photos just for her.

We had, her set, set of her for grandparents in Ireland, my set, few mum wanted copies off, - just so glad managed to locate some "new customer codes", so paid £6 for p+p, saved about £12 on photos.

Just reminded me of the stunt she pulled, (thou have to give her 10/10 for it), we'd popped to the shopping centre, 1 min from hotel, on the Monday to get the last bits for presents, - you know get pulled into shops, and some are a pain, we were being shown stuff we didn't want, - next min she knuzzling upto me, I don't feel well, need to go to the hotel, - so got out of the shop, really worried, rushed her into the chemist, which was 2 shops down. Only when the pharamist asked exactly where it hurt, (I was worrying) she pipes up, I'm ok now.......... that man was a pain in the shop so I faked illness. (ground open up time!!), luckly they saw the funny side of it. but thou well we were in the chemist, the lady who we'd brought the jewellery from - she'd seen what had happened, and went and got her car and fetched it to the entrance to drive us back to the hotel........ I couldn't tell her the truth, so we said it was a miracourlous recovery!!
Trouble was she was so convincing - sure she'll wait till she thinks we have forgetten and try it for school.

Giggles - that's brilliant news, fingers crossed for you!

Mum2one - haha, Miss Hoodie makes me laugh


Moneymaking - I'm so close on T'Looney, I have two surveys that still haven't been added and when they do I think I'll be nearly at another redeem. Hopefully the opinion points will be added at the end of the month so that will push me a bit closer too. I'm getting the odd 10p on 1poll too, so I may redeem with them in time for Christmas 2012!!

CONGRATULATIONS NICKBO XXXX Just read back a bit x

Woohoo, I received my T'Looney vouchers through the post this morning. They have come from France, has this always been the case as I don't remember seeing that before? Anyway, they are finally here, yippee! Has anyone else received any today as they tend to do them in batches.

I also claimed £6.50 in Amazon vouchers from TCB. Not much but it all helps I'm putting all my Amazon vouchers towards my brother's 30th birthday presents in July so the more I have the better!

I'm going to spend a bit of time on T'Looney this evening as I'm on nearly 70,000 points. I think today I'm going to have to go clothes shopping for my boy as he's had another growth spurt. His trousers are all suddenly an inch too short!

11 sock monkeys in a week :eek:!!! How on earth did you manage that? Did you eat or sleep at all?!

Hi everyone, hope you are all well, and those who have been poorly and had poorly families hope you are feeling better now.

Elysia - How are you hun? Have you been enjoying the bank holiday weekend?

Giggles - Well done with getting the job interviews, that is usually half the battle an I'm sure they will both be fighting over you. Wishing you all the luck in the world hun x

Mum2one - Those pictures are amazing, looks like you had such a wonderful time! Such lovely memories to have and wonderful pictures too.

Chel - How many sock monkeys!? Did you sleep during the week Well done on getting them all done! And email vo about your problems, same happened to me hun, when they were redoing the website it accidentally blocked alot of people. Drop them a line and ask them to look into it for you and they will sort it out for you really quickly too.

Glad the Tesco DTD is over with so I can concentrate on my studies, family time, money making, sleeping etc lol.

Didn't fare too well with the challenges this month, nothing grown as my tomato seeds never arrived and I had completely forgotten all about them, I did make £137.84(ish) this month though

nickybo it was pure monkey hell !!! :rotfl:

it wasnt too bad really, they were smaller [childrens size 9-12 socks]
and because we had some lovely weather i sat in the garden and got a suntan at the same time , but it did get sore fingers from all the pin pricks lol , but my friend loved them and gave me more than i expected so very happy

savvy thanks i will email them , what a great total thats amazing
i think im going to use my redeems for my totals as i can't keep up with the monthly figures , by the time i've checked them all its nearly another month gone by !
so far this year ive had £46 cash £15 vouchers and have about £50 worth to redeem [am doing it now] and nearly another £15 voucher
so whilst its not hundreds im really pleased , so far its paid for all presents this year till june
