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

elysia2003

You got a good headstart Legend - Have you done your £2.50 already?

Nicky - I should get a pressie just in case. I know I did, and Elysia wasn't due until mid Jan.

Lots of babies due in our family - OH has a new great Neice. Bella. She arrived on Saturday, 8lb 8, and a mop of jet black hair, and two more Great Neices and Nephews on the way.

I've just set my piney up to pay paypal instead of LV's. I couldn't believe how fast they paid it. I received it yesterday, and I only took the survey the day before. Very pleased.

Sorry knit, I was still typing as you posted - I applied for that voucher too. Try and find a cheap delivery time slot, as apparently some are very expensive, and wipes quite a lot of your voucher out.

Morning all

Just managed a SN 85p survey, should take me over the £20 when it tracks. Nothing else available. T is pants this week, dont know whats going on there but cant seem to earn anything.

One item tonight on EB with a 99p bid so not up to my amount again yet. That will be three days running I think.

It's been a bit hit and miss with surveys this week hasn't it! I had plenty yesterday but got screened out of nearly all of them, and one even screened me out, before I'd even answered one question. Grrr

Put another claim into TL yesterday, but it's been pretty hard to get any points on there lately.

Did a long survey last night on synovate and a few app ones for VO. Tried OP, think I got 10p but the rest were clearly for people with children again :rotfl:

Unfortunately my car was in for a service yesterday and needs £600 worth of repairs so I may have to raid my thrifty gifty cash stores . I'm putting it on my cc so won't be due til mid August but I don't think I can avoid dipping in. Boooo!!

Haven't been doing reviews, need to get a couple going this weekend I think.

Have a good day all!

Well my survey hunt didnt go too well! Been screened out of most but did do a couple for points but I dont count them towards my money for the day as I dont know how much each 1 is worth!
TCB have sorted a missing cashback claim so thats £7 extra onto my account today! Still awaiting another 1 for £5 though! So technically reached my target! Off out to search for some bargains with DS, should proove to entertaining or is that stressful?! lol
Oh and Pink I keep getting screened out of Onepoll surveys and I have a child! Think hes too young as whne I click his age it screens me out!
Catch you later ladies!

Thanks for the Tip Elysia, there must be a lot of people using that voucher in my area as all the cheap early and most of the late delivery slots were gone oin Ocado. My delivery is sat night 10-11pm haha - poor delivery man workign that late, but it meant I only paid £2.50 postage with the order being under £75

Also for new customers to Ocado there is £7.50 cashback through Quidco, hoping mine tracks as I have never used Ocado before - so well sorth going through quidco at that amount.

elysia2003

I was told not to go through quidco as they are part of the same company and one will cancel the other out. I wish I just tried now anyway.

I didn't buy much - just some bottles of wine to give as presents, a lunchbox for dd for September, and some odd bits and pieces to make the money up. I couldn't do my weekly shop on there. They say shop online to save money but when I did I used to go overboard, because I couldn't physically see what I had.

Just got caught in the rain onthe way home from posting the parcels, not had a good look on here thi sweek, but just foudn the waterstones kids book offer for £1 each, so bought 3 for my 8 year old put away for Christmas, especially as they are free delivery, if anyone has not seen the offer it is here http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/bargains-deals-discounts/waterstones#deal10124. It is instore and online, free delivery if you decide to order online

oooh theres a few on OP at the mo

elysia2003

Thanks Knit - I managed to do another one.

This link is great for book presents too - You need to buy 10 books minimum, and p+p is 15p each, but delivery was really fast. I bought 12, and most of them were hardbacked and cost £15.99 at WHS. Of course, it depends what you pick. There's a selection from toddlers to teenagers so there's more choice too.

Theres a few surveys on onepolly, - tolunaly really poor, I only got 3 voteing ones.....
Rang the solcitiors again, - feel like a stalker, no news there, they've said as the next date is 8th July, which is when cafcass have to prepare their report and it be handed into court, so until then were not in the clear, but no news is good news. xx
