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

claireylulu

Sounds like everyone has had a great day money making. I haven't done too bad either even though I have been out for most of the day.

I managed £1.85 on viva, 65p on OP, 88p on DY and 1 survey on 175points on ipsos-survey.

I have to admit to spending quite a bit today in focus, we are decorating our living room and managed to get all the paint in the closing down sale today so saved some money there. It needs doing should have been done last year but couldnt afford it.

Thanks for the advice ladies. I think I will pop to Tesco tomorrow an get dd a few tops, it would be silly not to really at the cheap prices and like you say perfect for in the house/garden wear. I think there isn't much difference in price between Next and the supermarkets, however I have a £14 Tesco voucher in need of using up so I could pick up say 7 £4 tops for next to nothing and we have a box full of arts and crafts from an early learning centre before christmas so I think we have a plan for next week now

I'm glad everyone has done well today, and well done on your paint bargains clareylulu. I remember having to pay almost £100 for paint, brushes and trays, rollers etc just for the bedroom and hallway, it just costs so much doesn't it.

Registerd with a different site tonight. Earnings total £4 at the moment. Yipee. Will probably be ages before they have anymore for me though!
Time for bed am worn out with all the typing.

Well done Mooloo hun. I forgot about that list you asked for. I'll try to remember tomorrow, but I'm busy, it's OH day off, we have an engineer coming to mend tumble drier, I've got ebay listings ending plus other stuff, so if I don't post anything Mooloo - give me a reminder. OK?

Early night tonight - feel shattered. Night everyone and if I don't see you, have a good weekend.

Morning all

I got screened out of all the surveys this morning, but have three items selling tonight so over my £2.50. The ones from last night havent paid yet, will check again before I got out and see if they have paid other wise they will miss the post until Monday as our last post goes at 11.30. Just had to check again what this £2.50 a day means and it £75 a month. Worked it out before but couldnt remember. If we continue doing the £2.50 a day until Christmas day it works out at a staggering £522!! Not that we would have all of that by Christmas day as things take weeks sometimes before you can redeem but its very motivating to see it. (hope I worked it out right).

Have a nice weekend, got a busy one so might not be around, Rufus xx

Morning Rufus, hope your ebay sales go well and the buyer pays up quickly. The £2.50 a day challenge is great, I often leave a few surveys as I get sick of the sight of them but now I try to push to get the £2.50. Not always easy though when there isn't many surveys.

I made my £2.50 today, vo for £1 and £1.70 on viva. Will get on and list some bits on ebay tonight but I wont be around much this weekend either. Off to town to get dd new shoes, do a food shop and pop to tesco for some clothes for dd. If it stays nice we will probably go out for lunch or to the park too.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend xxx

Good morning all.

so far this morning i have wrote 2 reviews on DY today and copied them to ciao, £1 on Viva so far, will do a few more later as I have lot to do today, plus I have to update my blog as I have not posted much the past week. So much to do and so little time, will pop in tesco, I mainly need uniform more than clothes though for the munchkins, so may start my uniform shopping.

ooh Rufus, thanks for doing the calculations, very motivating

Hope eveyone has a great start to their day

Have a lovely weekend everyone - whatever you have planned.

OH has just been to the post office to collect a parcel (it's his day off), and it's a box of cereal - I must be one of the lucky ones, and got the first product test I was surveyed on, on Piney. They're better dry than with milk -Yummy ETA: I lied . I didn't read the letter properly, and they are off Glamour mag. Sorry.

I've done 50p on Lspd, received 30p rates on Du, and have 3 things ending today, so I'm covered.

Rufus - The £75 was my aim, lots of us had redeemed smaller amounts than that in previous months., so it was just a gentle push to earn more. I like this challenge myself - I think It's been my best month so far.

Rufus - sounds amazing when you look at it that way! £522 is A LOT of money!! Even missing out on a few days here and there would still be an amazing amount!

Haven't managed to do anything yet today. Little lady is a cling on! I did get my S&S through so waiting for it to charge.

Hope everyone has a fab weekend! x

Had a good presnt buying day yesterday as found some Ted Baker miniatures and some toiletries bags in the Botts clearance section. Got two nice presents for £2.50 each. Must start checking the Clearance sections more often for Christmas presents. Got a £5 Amazon voucher from MySurv so waiting for that to come to me so I can buy my husband a Daddy's Day present with another voucher I got.
Have a good money making weekend!
