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

I always use capital I's when writing anything! I think that its more habit for me although it may be worth a shot and see what happens!
Thanks for advice re blackout linings! He has a blackout blind and I do have the linings but havent got round to putting them up as I hate faffing with curtains! It makes no difference mind because sometimes he has come into my bedroom in the middle of the night and still wakes early! My bedroom is much darker than his too! Think he just love waking his Mummy! He never shouts "Daddy wake up! Lets go downstairs!"

Todays Total -£3.75

Morning all hope you are having a good morning.

Legend, I wouldn't worry if he is getting up early if he is playing in his room until you come and get him, I guess it's more of a problem if there is no babygate and he comes and gets you. Black out blinds could help during the summer but we find with dd if we take her for a long walk it tires her out and she sleeps through, she gets up around 7am which suits me fine.

Michelle - I think it would make a difference because it's correct grammar to have a capital I and some people can e realy funny about that, you could write your reviews in word and have the I's automatically changed from small i to big I. Then copy and paste over.

Have so much to do today, going to have a coffee and crack on with it all, I wouldn't be able to get even half done without the encouragement of this thread can't beleiev how muxch I have made this month Coffee time!

Morning all

I have done todays challenge, really happy as went over yesterday too. Saw the message about vista last night and managed to do the NV one but didnt manage the others as was a bit late so did them this morning, so that was £2, did a SN one too for 85p and have two sales tonight for another £2.50.

Still havent got round to doing a review, have been rating the ones I get through my daily email, if you are writing them and not seeing me rate can you let me know so I can add you to the email please.

Got a fair bit to do today in between watching the Grand Prix Quali lunchtime so glad I hit my total early.

Thanks for opinions. I will try and correct myself then, and stop being so lazy.

my Vivatec is now showing £8.70. But am fed up of doing surveys that are all the same at the moment. But I suppose while DGD is watching TV and playing its something to do, when I cannot sew.

Michelle - I too, think you should just write it in Word from the off, and then paste it over. I must admit, to being one who only nominates only if it's exceptional, if the grammar is incorrect. I know I type incorrectly on here sometimes, but that is due to haste. I always spell check every review, it's habit now, but also Jam Tart who run the thread last year, pointed it out. Don't worry about past ones, just do it in future.

Morning ladies - great results today I've been screened from every survey I've done so far, but I won't be beaten.

Cornish - I hope you feel better soon.

I've a lazy day today - might do some housework if I can be bothered. DD1 has taken DD1 out with her to her friends for a girly day, baking, playing games, and doing makeovers - sounds fun, why can't I go? LOL OH is off to the hospital visiting his brother, so I'll be home alone.

Mooloo - we all know it's boring and repetative, just stick with it. Every penny is one less you'll have to find at Christmas. If you're getting bored, go into all the sites you're on, and tot up all the totals, and add up what you've redeemed so far. Hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised, and it will spur you on to keep going.

You CAN do it - we know you can!!!

Already done my total this morning :j
I too had the survey where you could hear no sound, thought it was my comp. Managed to complete a few others though. Up to £30.50 on opoll so hoping to redeem in the next 4 weeks or so.

Mum2one it sounds like things couldn't have gone better. Great news.

Legend mine went through this and it has got better although they rarely sleep past 7 that is great compared to 5.30!!!!!

Taking the children to the local softplay this afternoon as Peppa pig is going to be there and they love her!!! It's a surprise and I can't wait to see their faces.
Got my pre reg visit for my childminding on wednesday so got loads to do to get the house how it needs to be. A bit nervous but know it will be ok.

Dh and I chatted about money yesterday and he has decided to sell his car and buy something cheaper. He loves his car but it is expensive to run and if he sold it we couold have about £3,000 left over and clear a lot of our debt. Feel bad about it as he really does adore it but he says that it is worth it to stop me worrying and being upset. He can be so lovely to me sometimes. I know what he is giving up for us and I love him for it.

Take care all

Elysia: its true you do have to let your hair down now and then. This week I have definately done that! haha time to rein it in now! Went for a beautiful italian meal followed by cocktails last night. Had such a lovely time, no crazy shannanigans, just a lovely relaxing night! You cant beat a strawberry daquiri haha

Legend: aww as if no one would go with you! Spoilsports! Yeah they have only done 2 gigs in manchester and then doing some in London.

Claireylulu: To be fair half of it is fun stuff as much as it is work hehe Got mon,tue,weds off work next week so going to catch up on lots of things

Susan42: haha you did say you would be keeping an eye on me! hehe I did have a lie in till 1030 today (despite my body being wide awake at 8!) so feeling refreshed now

Mum2One: I am so glad the meeting with the grandparents and aunt and uncle went well. Miss Hoodie really does sound like a charmer, you have obviously brought her up extremely well. You must have been so proud of how she was coping with the situation, and her excellent behaviour! What a credit to you.


Eek! Very embarrassed this morning ladies! Policeman came round to take a statement re: the murder. As its so publicised and such a huge crime he said they have to do door to door of every house to take statements. And as I had treated myself to a lie in I was still in my pjs with unbrushed hair haha he was quite cute too! Turns out they attended the scene at 12.05 and I drove the route of the crime 11.50-11.55. So I think I may have drive past the men early on in the route and not noticed, or I missed it by a few seconds.

Not even touched surveys this week. So going to start getting to cleaning done (this has also been neglected!) and then see if I can hit pay out on viva .

I have just checked V. qualified for 2 surveys - the same as yesterday, completed and paid:j: so even if you did them yesterday go and recheck you never know:D that gave me enough to redeem:j

have a good day everyone!
