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

twinklelittlestar

Hi all.

Been one of those weeks this week, trying to get everything done and not enough hours in the day lol. I have not been doing to bad on the moneymaking side of things, cant wait for next challenge elysia bit will be away for 1st week of June.

The fun day that my friend and I did last weekend was a bit of a flop, put so much work into it but she only managed to sell a couple of cards and i too only sold 2 items, got to find somewhere else to sell my father's day gifts now . Trouble was people that said they would come didn't turn up. Did well for the charity though as the few people that bothered to turn up did the raffle and tombolla and bought cakes so raised quite a bit for that at least. So disappointing though when you work so hard to promote it.

Trying to get organised for holiday now have't got suitcase out yet though lol.

Has anyone got the ability to refer or invite to any of the shopping scanning co's. I think i tried to sign up years ago bit never heard anything. Are there any out there you can just join?

Hope you are all having a good weekend. see you all tomorrow

Take care xx

edited to say hope you have a lovely night out Elysia, make the most of it xx

Hi all, just caught up with the posts. Been a bit of an awful day with dd. Hubby is looking after her for a few hours whilst I try to rest but the neighbours dogs are going nuts barking and howling, I need a holiday *sigh*

Had the fright of my life yesterday night, had an email from the uni with a subject of OU course withdrawal, my heart sank and I thought I must have done that badly on my assignment that they are chucking me off the course!! Luckily it was just saying the degree I am aiming for wont exist in a few years time so I need to change my study plan a little. Phew!

Glad you had a great week at your new job giggles, sounds like you are really enjoying it.

Have a great night out Elysia, it's nice to have some together time away from the house.

Have so much to do and little enthusiasm at the moment, might look at listing some items on ebay tomorrow.

Thank heck it wasn't just me. I was having kittens, made worse by that I'd just withdrawn from my one course. It sounds daft but the new Business Degree work out better for me, as I failed BU130, (very sore point!!), in the old version it was compulsary, new one its optional, but as I've done extra courses at level 1 + 2, I'm covered that way, and from Sept onwards got 3 courses, level 1, 2 and 3, but there spread out.... the level 3 is halfway towards the degree.

It really did read as thou everyone was being chucked out!. xx

Morning ladies

We didn't go out in the end, didn't feel like it, by the time it came to go. I spent the evening browsing ebay instead - but was a good girl and didn't buy anything ( I was tempted though )

Has anyone seen Zangels about as well? She used to pop in regularly. I did see Aspella on WH yesterday, so hopefully she's OK.

I've sorted some stuff out to iron, and take photos of ready for listing later, and will try T later too. Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Challenge 5: May 2011.

1. Toloony

Have been pretty good on TL this month. Received one voucher, claimed another and back up to around 30,000. Have several surveys pending although I've been screened out the last day or two.

2. Woohoo!!!

Have played this a few times but don't have anywhere near 200 stars yet, will keep plodding along.

3. Become A Savvy Shopper!

I don't do the food shopping but I am always pretty hot on deals and offers when I do buy things.

4. The fun one! Make something and sell it.

Sorry, big failure here due to lack of time.

Incoming in May 2011

2 x viva
2 x M&S vouchers
1 x amazon voucher

Not a bad month overall, certainly boosted my total.

Have claimed a YG cheque which will be a great boots to my June total!

has anyone successfully placed an order with vista through TCB or quidco?
I have just tried and everything was free in my basket until I opened it again in TCB. if I didn't go through TCB postage was over £5 before VAT:eek: I placed an order the other day and it was about £5 inc VAT.

one of the reasons why I stopped doing surveys over the years! But I am determind to give them another go, just to see if I can get anything else this year.

My tie on ebay has 1 bid, and my bag has 1 bid, so they are sold. Ends today so I will have to be ready to post on Tuesday. Even if they are only on the starting price.:D
