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

elysia2003

just popped on to say there's over £1.50 on OP at the moment, but not sure if it's because I've not been in all day. Have a look, hopefully they are there for you too.

Haven't caught up with todays posts yet, back soon.

Challenge No 6 – June 2011



1. Take the oath – Promise you will complete every survey on so and so site. Whatever site it is, is up to you. If you’re struggling with any one imparticular, make it that one, OR if one is sending you quite a lot lately, make it that. It’s your choice.

I, GigglesFairy do solemnly declare to partake in every survey sent to me by toluna (may regret that!) , until the end of the month.



2. Pay the forfeit – Earn £2.50 a day by any means possible – using vouchers while shopping, surveys, writing reviews, eBay sales spread out over the week, etc. However you'd like to do it is ok. If by the end of the evening, you haven’t earned at least £2.50, you put 50p in your savings account.

Ooooh this is an interesting one!



3. Remember Quidco! I don’t know about you, but I seem to have got out of the habit of using Quidco/TCB when I’m making a small purchase, thinking, oh it’s only pennies. That could be why my payments have gone drastically down. Make sure you use cash back sites for EVERY online payment, and don’t forget your reward cards in store. You’ll soon see the benefit.

Must admit I have DEFINATELY forgot to use cashback sites these recent months. I dont buy much online (or at all!) at the minute but once I start getting paid from my new job I may start splasing out more


4. It’s Father’s Day this month – instead of buying cards, either you make them, or gets the kids to do it. They are more special then, and the price of some of them in the shops, is astronomical. Don’t go out and buy tonnes of card and stuff, see what you can make from what you have at home. Granddads will treasure a card off the Grandkids, the more glitter the better .

What date is fathers day? haha

Hiya Deborah - you are not too late at all, you're just in time. There are over six months to go, until christmas, and every penny saved until then, is a penny less you have to find later on.

Well done on signing up to the sites. If you can, in a couple of days, sign up to a few more, Survey Ntwork and Viva (sorry it's in code) are good reliable ones - you get surveys most days from them. That way if it's quiet with the other sites, you can always try them, they're bound to have some.

Michelle - I know what you mean about DooU hun. I've amended my post - I was in a hurry and wasn't thinking. OH was glaring at me as we wererunning late. I messaged DoU as they paid me £5 but it wasn't my review that won. Not sure what was going on with them, they probably caught what I had yesterday. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Giggles - Fathers Day is the 19th.

Dingdong - I think most of us are on loads of sites, so we can easily see how much we earn. The Piney one pays £3 each so it's easy to count. I hope you are OK now. I used feel that when I worked out that my 30 minute survey was only worth 40p, I gave up doing them, so I don't think of it like that anymore - just the £15 at the end.

Probably best hon. Hope they let you have the £5 as a goodwill gesture. That would be brill wouldn't it.

Just seen that there is a message on FB saying the guides are being paid for, and there is also a samsung DVD for the best guide. It would be lovely if that were one of us too wouldn't it.

I managed to get over £4 on crowdology for the first time today, and i claimed and it was paid straight away into paypal. How good is that? It pleased me.

Hi elysia2003

It's great isn't it Michelle? They pay you instantly. There are a few like that, so why can't T do it? Grrrrr.

I hope the best guide goes to one of us thrifty girls too - having read through the guides we did, if could be any one of us.

I just had my £9.80 from Viva paid into paypal.

Evening all

Well I made my target. Today so far I have earned

£3.05 cash, 2400 TL, 250 ConsumerP points and 14 SwagC plus more TL points for voting on things but I didn't keep track of those points

claireylulu

Dont think I made the £2.50 today! Did a lot on TL today so have no idea what it comes to on there and don't really want to work it out! Got my quality opinion points added to my total today which was nice.

Had family round so haven't managed much more. My sister in law came round to tell us she is pregnant with her first she has just had her 12 weeks scan so another baby in the family this year which is really nice after the rubbish start to the year we had.

OP was annoying me today got screened out of them all :mad:

Hope everyone has had a nice day the weather has been lovely.
