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

piglet27

Hello all you lovely ladies,

Have been absent for so long i can't remember, missed everyone here just spent last few hours catching up on things. Everyone is doing so well with totals etc.
Unfortunately money making has gone by the way side last few months although still saving in my sealed pot from jan challenge and doing T and P!n...n. Really need to get back into surveys and ebaying. Ready for christmas on 6 months, can you believe it!

I sold my house february so been sorting house, looking for new place etc, then buyers pulled out 2 weeks before complete, wasn't happy!

I have got ds into pre-school 4 hours a day, so spending alot of my free time making jewellery, i have really caught the bug, maybe even addicted! lol. Have done 4 craft fairs so far already this year which has been great, although as i only use gem stones and silver/vermeil prices are higher than some people are happy to pay (still done quite well though). Have just had 2 bookings for jewellery parties and been commisioned to do a wedding party, so all this is going well, especially as i didn't start til end of december.

Any way will be catching up more over the next few days, thank you ladies, hopefully I can read through all the challenges and see if i can catch up, maybe. definately do them from now on though.

Hi everyone
Fantastic totals guys I had £25 from quidco yesterday and thats about it for me, sorry I am letting the side down. I am feeling really deflated I am only just making ends meet so my plan to pay off the cc is going nowhere really, I wish I could be as successful as you knit I don't know how you have done it, please share your secret!

There are some viva NVL surveys up on the website. I'm not impressed though as i screened out of all 3 of them.

There is not much about today. I've done 50p on YG, 55p on OP, and copied one of my crowned reviews onto the other side. I've also added one as a product suggestion. Had 5 E ratings on the posted one already.

I think I might aim for a big push on looney later. I did a poll and two topics yesterday, and will try and post on some other people's topics. There were also some sponsored polls.

I could do more if the companies kept up with adding my suggestions and posting new surveys. :rotfl:

Same here, routed out of all three viva offerings today, boo hiss!

Oh I meant to ask, is it just me or are there no sponsored polls on T at the moment? There are usually a load added each day...

It's not just you, it's been like that for me too. Will take ages to get a claim at this rate.

Thanks nicky, it wouldn't hurt to list them. Wasn't sure if clothes did very well but your right it does add up

That's a shame Legendmum, actually have decided that beauty amd the beast is a good one for Christmas so will keep an eye out. I think we are braving Asda tommorow so will see which ones they have in.

michelle - thanks for the heads up hun, but i refuse to use play anymore. they seem to have huge issues with security breaches and fraud but they require you to keep your card details on file. Last time I ordered I removed my card details as soon as my order was sent due to another security breach and then had a phone call from their fraud team the next day, was more hassle than it was worth

having a poo day, someone has hacked my paypal account and completed a transaction of £1000, which obviously will come from my bank account, payapl were useless, I mamanged to cancel the direct debit for paypal online, andnothignhas shown up yet with my bank, they are hoping the direct debit will be cancelled before it hits my bank account.

What gets me is they tried to take £1500 but paypal stopped it , yet let the £1000 go through, I dont have any money in my account anyway, so it will be declined but i will incur charges, the bank said they will refund them , but it is just the inconveneince of it, and the fact soemone got into my account. apparently it was done through a mobile phone, so just be vigilant, andmaybe change your passwords on paypal.

That is fair enough if you don't want to use them. I also had an email from Tesco with some cheaper Disney films, they were mostly ones we had though like Cars, Monsters Inc, Toy story 1 and 2. Not the jungle book though.

All I think about this thread is the more pairs of eyes looking, the more we are going to find the bargains.

Personally, with all the news about shops going bust, i think there will be even more deals about as they are all fighting for our cash.



I found a few more surveys this evening. I was doing an IPs0s one, although i somehow made a mistake on it, so i closed it down. Shame as it was 175 points too, but i wasn't able to go back and amend it, and couldn't fill it in right if i continued.

I then had a 35 point GTM, a 75p survey network, and a 3000 Toluna one.

Then i switched to Chow. Conscious of this home and garden and health reviews getting 50p, I have submitted one that got me a crown earlier, and then have just written a very good (IMO ) review but it needs adding to their catalogue. I figured most of my best crown worthy ones are written on a Friday night with a glass of wine. :rotfl:That is the evidence from the past few weeks anyway.

I know i said earlier i would aim for £10 from the new promotion, but then i thought to myself, maybe i should aim for more than that. After all, 2 reviews per day is only £1 per day.

I'm going to have some fun with it.

I'm behind now though as i have not written a DY one today, so i had best do that now with the next glass of wine.

Not good. Are you on ravelry at all? They got hacked last month and sent out an email saying please change all other accounts that might be similar as a precaution.

How horrible. You work so hard to earn a bit and some !!!!!! can come and do that in 2 minutes. Hope you are ok hon!

Let me know if you want a sound off or anyone to chat to. Take care xxxx
