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

Woohoo, I've been paid for the shopping.com reviews too . I only wrote 10 so I don't know about a second payment. You could ask about it on their Facebook page.

ETA: I've just checked T'Looney and all my 80 word opinion points for last month have been added.

Thanks for asking the question . I was going to but then thought I would check with you ladies first. I did think maybe the payments were being made in order so kept checking my paypal but received no more payments. Dont forget to email him a link to your best review to be in with a chance of winning the perfume!

Had quite a productive day today, although not money making as such. Going to have a shower and have tea then off to the cinema as my treat for being productive hahaha

I do have a blog Elysia but it has been neglected hahaha. I originally started it up for my jewellery making to log the progress but think I may start just blogging about general things as I want to start baking more now. The blog should lead to my fanpage for my sweets though.

Thanks Giggles - I will take a look (honestly). Busy trying to juggle 10 million balls at once atm. LOL

Have been transferring some reviews to Ciao - but I don't think I've been on there long enough to be paid. It says something about white and green ??? and I'm a long way off green - whatever that means.

I just came to ask a question if it's ok. Has anyone redeemed for paper vouchers on my survey lately? I'm sure you could redeem for a £5 L2S for 790 points or a £10 one for 1,350. They've taken away the £10 option so you have to do 2 x £5, which cost extra points. Grrrr. I've had to redeem for Amazon instead (won't last 5 minutes in my account ) but it was brilliant value at 1,100 points so I still have points left. Please tell me I wasn't day dreaming. :rotfl:

Evening everyone, you're all going to moan but I got £22 from shopping lol. Was really pleased as thought yesterday I wasnt going to get anything at all.

The Ebay stuff is going ok, everything has sold so far except one item which I put back on again. No one has paid yet but one of them has bids on more stuff tomorrow and day after so waiting to do it all in one go.

I have been having another look into selling some of my home made bits, thanks again to Elysia for putting it in the challenge and giving me a kick. I have set up a new email address to use and have added it to my Paypal just in case. Have had a look on Folksy and had a good read, think once I have the cushions done I am making I will open a shop on there. Says they can link to a Facebook fan page so going to make a new profile on FB using the new email address. All these plans lol, at least it will keep me busy with something to do.

Havent been able to do much on T today as was out most of the day visiting ExMil who isnt well and then catching up with my friend who I hadnt seen since before Easter, then back to ExMil's this evening for an hour. Her daughter is coming down tomorrow for the weekend so I wont have to worry about her for a few days. I can get on with some sewing and spend some time with OH as he is off this weekend.

Wow Rufus - well done to you hun. All these plans. Don't forget to post on here when you've made them. I really like the sound of them. And what's all this favouritism!!! It was me who asked if we could do two lots. *stomps off dramatically* LOL. I haven't checked if I had an answer on FB yet.

It must be my lucky day. A lovely lady invited me to piney, so hopefully I will get signed up. I've just filled in a quick survey so far. I'm just waiting to find out.

Never in my life have I realised just how hard I need to work. This is what I have worked out tonight.

After tax we have including tax credits. £25,740 a year.

My total debt with mortgage, loan, blah de blah is £52,579

my monthly payments for debt is 21% of our income. And that's with out the four kids. I need to get more efficient.

What has this got to do with Christmas I hear you shout? Just reminding us how important our work is and that paying Christmas off makes all these horrid bills go down quicker.

elysia2003

OH NO!!!

It sounds terrible when you put it like that - but what a way to get you motivated.

i don't know elysia sorry, i just did a paypal redeem 1725 points for £15 with them but i haven't had the money yet !

i can't remember my password for opsos argghhh and im sure am at redeem stage

rufus well done i am too trying to sort out selling my stuff
whats the difference between etsy and folksy?
i was going to put some on ebay this weekend to see how it goes
never really sure how much to charge though .

had a good survey day today and the ebay stuff is all ticking along nicely with bids and watchers so fingers crossed for a big fat paypal account next week

Elysia - I hadnt had any piney ones for a while, used to like getting the LV's to give to YD to spend on a weekend when out with her mates. Had one last week though and then another today so bit better. I am nearly to £45 on YG, thought I was just over but wrong side. I dont know how comes I got £22 as thought it was only going in payments of £10's but I know I did more than the two lots of ten as I miscounted as I was doing them and think I did do 22 altogether when I counted up after.

Ddraig, good luck with sorting out your finances, I am glad I have Christmas etc sorted already or just about and its rubbing off, some of my family have told me they are taking a leaf out of my book and getting in bits already.
