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

As long as you're taking some time out for yourself, you need a bit of 'me' time.

OH is working on the garden today (it's usually my job, but I'm hiding on here, he can do it for a change). :rotfl:

I've not been rating on chow for the past few days, as I didn't want to lower my E percentage. I can't wait for Premium day - this is fun. LOL. I'll go over and rate your latest reviews on there at some point later on today.

I read some of my book yesterday, and the kids were playing really nicely which is the main reason I'm ahead.

I like to keep busy Elysia, and it's not like being a mum is overly mentally demanding. I feel like I do get me time even if it is on the computer, daft as it seems. It is an escape.

The surveys are the things that are hard work.

Fair enough - I won't mention it again. I'm just a bit of a worrier.

Just received my T vouchers through the post - strangely they didn't come from France like they usually do. They didn't even have a compliments note in to say who they're off. It was just that they are £15 L2S, which I always order off T and I was expecting them, so that's how I knew.

As they are posting in this country now - hopefully that means that fewer will get lost - I've had two lots go missing now. T haven't even responded to my emails.

Morning everyone

Had a busy morning as had to go up to the post office to collect a parcel and post off two items I sold on EB. Rest of the week is busy too, so will have to fit the surveys etc in when I can.

Did a few surveys this morning, cant remember who for, iap I think was one and sn, might have been two for them.

Been on SB for three days now, yesterday I had 53 points altogether, today I have 56, just doing the tv things. Dont qualify for any of the surveys, did the poll and other thing. Cant see how to get 50 points a day lol.

Rufus. When you click on the tv show thingy, at first you see an advert, then when it's ended, click the arrow in the centre again - this will show you a joke or something. The bar at the top will then move from 0% to 10%. You then click on another advert (there are usually two rows of four to the side of the bigger screen). You do the same, and as you do them, the green bar moves across, when you get to 90% after watching 9, the next one will make you go to 99% and then you get awarded 3SB's.

Tip, after seeing the advert, and the joke is showing - sometimes the green bar moves before the joke has ended, I just click on the next advert when I know that the one I was watching has registered. It's a bit monotonous (sp) but the points are mounting up.

Also Rufus - you search to get points - You are allowed four lots for searching each day - so instead of doing one search here and there, I will search everytime I need to change tab - I will search to come into MSE, and then go back to SB, and search to go to viva, and back to SB and then search to go to IPS. I try and get points from searching at least two or three times a day, and usually I'm awarded between 7 and 9 points a time. I've not been as lucky as Savvy and got a 50 yet though.

Like I say - the codes through FB and twitter help me get roughly 50 each day. I'll be able redeem in the couple of days. I've not counted, but I reckon I've been on there between 10 and 14 days - I did register ages ago like you - but couldn't get on with it though.

Hi all, have crashed and burned on the money making front I think

Can't get my head in the game for the last few days, but ironically as we have just booked our next holiday and I have a large medical bill to cover in the next few months it's never been more needed

I gave the search on SB ago first time yesterday and got the 50 and managed a few 7s since but it has helped my totals, I guess you just never know what you might get if you try. I search randomly if I am sitting doing nothing for a few minutes.

Going to try to catch up and list some of dd's clothes on ebay in a bit, hopefully that will help a little.

Hope everyone is having a good day, it's so quiet x

not much money making today - only a PC survey.

I have had a migraine and been in bed all day:(

rufus I can't get my head round SB either!

we went to ds2's parents evening and had glowing reports from all his teachers:j art is not one of his best subjects and for his last project he got a level 5a the highest you can get and only one of 4:T we are SO proud of him

elysia2003

Bunbun - that is fab news. You have every right to be proud. Tell him well done. I hope you feel better soon too.

What don't you understand on SB hun? 1. You do searches in their search bar, for everything (random points)
2. Do the daily poll (one SB) 2. click on the trusted surveys bit (one SB) and watch the TV clips (explained above - 3 sb's) and play the games - 2 sb's awarded randomly. Then there's the twitter/FB codes - doing all of this quickly makes your money mount up. It really only takes 10 minutes or so per day - depends how many tv things, and how many games you play.

Savvy - I know how you feel hun. It's been so quiet on here this last week, I feel a bit deflated as well. I worry about whether it was the challenges I set. We all did so well last month. If no-one wants to do that - we can go back to the £2.50 a day again - I'm just trying to pick something different so we don't get fed up.

I have a bid for my item on Ebay so that's going to sell. I've been hunting around for surveys all day. I've done £2.50 worth but it's a slow process lately. Apparently OP have drawn all the winners for the prize draw entry surveys, and it should be on the site tomorrow (they did promise today though ) Fingers crossed there are some winners from here.

Ooh forgot to ask - do anyone have any shiny new hats today? I hope so - I've read some brilliant reviews off members of here lately.

Hi everyone, just got in from a BBQ at my sons. Thanks for the info on SB Elysia, when you say you can search 4 times does that mean you can only do 4 searches or you can come back four times or what? I am determined not to let this beat me lol.

elysia2003

You search as many times as you like Rufus, but you only can win SB's four times max So I try and make sure I do win at least two or three times a day by doing plenty of searches.

I'm glad you had a nice time at the BBQ.
