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

kec09

Hi guys, been keeping REALLY busy today, went into work at 7am (yes I am crazy) by the time i got home it was nearly 7pm and I bought some paperwork home with me to do so it has been keeping my mind very well occupied.
I feel a lot better today, hope this doesn't sound awful but a colleague of mine who is 7 months pregnant had her partner split with her at the weekend and she is in pieces trying to find somewhere to live, at least I am not in that situation so shouldn't feel so sorry for myself. I feel so bad for her and thats another man added to the blacklist!.
I plan to hit the surveys tomorrow, I will not let this setback put me off track on the money making side of things! Not far off a redeem on T, have 6 open surveys so if just 2 of them are added soon I can request my next voucher
Thank you all for your support, couldn't do it without you guys xxx

Well done Kec - We're so proud that you are keeping going. You CAN do it - keeping busy is helping, so keep at it, and like you say, there are others worse off, you just have to keep reminding yourself.


Chel - wow fab totals hun. How about half way between the two prices £30 ish? Would you be happy with that, or was you thinking more the £40 mark? We can't really help without knowing what it is. Go with what you think and don't under charge, they can only say no.

thats the thing elysia i started it at 15 and did put pick up prefered because i thought the postage would put people off
i was thinking 20-25 so maybe if i say 25 they could barter if they want
i just want rid really
i'll say £25 and see what happens
there is one 1 other new in box one on ebay for £63 including postage
but doesn't mean it will sell
argghhh the stresses of ebay lol

kec im glad you are keeping yourself busy you are doing really well

Absolutely digressing, drooling over the bedrm furniture want from Argos, and the set we got Miss Hoodie has gone back up to £160...... I needed a Baileys for the shock!!

susan42

mum2one - you digress all you want, it makes it seem more of a bargain when it goes up.....

nicky - i got twins, they were so easy to have after I got over shock

kec- well done you keep busy, anytime you want to let off steam you do it hun, we`re all here for you.

sparklychel - i hate people who do that on ebay too...i can never thing of a BIN price as the reason putting on ebay is to see what it brings..........:mad:

elysia - " also redeemed on McCains for a £10 HMV voucher and £9.50 Amazon on TCB so that's four payments/redeems " well done on redeems....is mccains worth it, i used to be on that and let it slide.

Also do anyone know if coke zone worth doing? Son buys it all the time and had a quick look through site is there anything anyone can reccommend having on there.

On a plus note I did one survey this morning - the never ending survey and I`ve reached £50 on vista.....1st redeem in two years on there....:T noticed surveys dried up a bit since i was on survey N, but stopped doing them on there becaude they gave you a £1 for 25-30 minutes even though they say 15 mins and vista would give you £2-£3

Hi clairelulu - wb

Savvy - come on get those surveys going, i`m a fine one to speak...I`m just plodding.

Morning all

Well done everyone on your redeems, I am lagging behind on WH bingo lol, still havent reached the 60 mark on the golds haha, dont know how you do it, sometimes I have it on all day but seems I only win on the points ones and may be a few bronze stars now and then. Dont win at all in the evenings.

Havent had many surveys to do this last few days, SN has dried up, still going on to check but nothing doing. T is near to pay out again though, think I was over 77,000 yesterday, still waiting for 3 A vouchers from them.

Have not had any from NV for a while, am quite high on there, about £35. YG is about a fiver away from a redeem but nothing from there either.

I made about £12 on Ebay last week so not bad if I can do that each week for the month. Dont have much of it left though as bought zips yesterday for my cushions out of the Paypal money.

Had a 10p one on OP yesterday, thats going up really slowly, get screened out of most of them these days.

Might have a go on DY again as havent done that for a while.

Susan - I've only just started collecting on Cokezone - If I remember rightly you could get HMV vouchers on there when I signed up, but when I tried to check how many points I needed for redeem last week, I could n't find it. If DS is buying coke anyway, whatever you choose is free, and it only takes a second to do. Go for it. Same as McCains - I only go on once a week and do the bits - it only takes five minutes tops.

Rufus - surveys dried up for me too. I'm stuck on £31.50 on NV. I haven't had a survey in weeks on some of the sites. I just signed up to yet another one in the hope I can Keep things going.

mum2one means you got more of a bargain !
how are you finding argos furniture ? we bought a set about 4-5 years ago now , and not the cheapest either and its awful, all the drawers have bowed the wardrobe doors are out of line and that all happened in the 1st 6-12 months of having it

elysia2003
