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

They'll be so cute in a couple of days, and it'll be hard to resist. Just keep thinking of the money. We took our dog for his booster last month, and came out £85 lighter. We had to buy flea stuff and worming stuff too, and they didn't give give us enough, so have to go back in a couple of weeks to buy more. :mad: Then there's the insurance, and food, and toys. Am I helping you to change your mind yet?

I need to sort out Jack's (our Jack Russell ) insurance this week too. Arrggghhh. I'll have to see what the best deals are on Quidco. It's like shopping around for car insurance, it takes all day. :mad:

You don't really want a dog do you? Is this helping any? :A:D


OT: I wrote another review for Chow - can't copy it across, because it's an updated version of one I wrote a while ago. I'm getting there - slowly.

I'm up to 7/35 in terms of reviews. DH not in from work yet. I best do some washing up too, or it will be even more horrid tomorrow.

I think yes, i would like one, but this isn't right as the kids are too little, the cat would protest badly, and I really want something in a few years that is bigger and can accompany us all on walks and holidays to centre parcs. Something more like Westie size or a Shih tzu.

Mum's chihuahuas are lovely, but hard work. Very demanding wanting food little and often and then up at all hours to go out. Her westie she had before these two was asleep all night which would suit me more.

And theres extra vet bills, Bailey has just had to have his ears cleaned, and antibitoics, £40 gone... just had his renewal for his insurance, only £470 for the year, but we can pay dd for free!!

Then that moment, the dog looks at you with the sad puppy eyes, that little ball of fluff.... wham bam... new mummy.... I bet it be, it the was last one, or it came to me!! xx

Thanks michelle. Our nursery is about a 15 minute walk into the next village so I got very wet by the time I got there.

Bunbun your cards are lovely they look so cute. I made my first card the other day I haven’t made any since my eldest was born! Lol I used to make them all the time but then I lost interest when my son was born. It turned out ok it was a wedding anniversary card for the father in law.

Nickybo that sounds horrible, like giggles said you should be really proud of yourself for staying with him. Trying to keep him awake must have been hard. Last year my OH witnessed a man on fire, well I say witnessed him and another neighbour but him out. They stayed with him till he went in the ambulance and all the crews said how fantastic they had been keeping him talking. He was a very poorly man for a long time but he is still alive. I was so proud of my OH as I was a wimp and did the easy bit staying on the phone to the 999 operator.

Well done Michelle and elysia on your review writing. I have a busy morning but hoping to get a review written today at some point.

Morning everyone

Nicky - well done on what you did, and hope the poor man is ok. I was thinking of you yesterday evening as I was going through my circle of friends on DY and getting rid of some of the ones who havent reviewed since last year and you were the first person on my list from way back.

I hope to get another review done this morning if poss before OH gets up as he is off today and wants to go out shopping.

Elysia - I dont really understand that Sony E thing you put on, what is it for? Do you have to have one of their phones to do it?

Hi everyone

nicky - well done, on helping, alot look but are worried about H&S, and good on the nurse too, my friends an A&E nurse and she was told dont help. She does but I didnt say that.

Elysia and bunbun, i have lots of digis too. Use a seperate laptop for crafting. Also have Silhouette files. Kindle and other ereaders files. Give me a shout. .......;) and lots of other things....

you `re all so busy with chow...what ever that is, i`m rubbish at reviewing, so i just stick to the odd survey.

Have 78000 points on T and managed a redeem on VO, first one this year i think. But hardly ever go on.

I have done another review, couldnt find as much to write on this one but never mind, points will help. Thats 3/25 done.

Morning all! I AM ALIVE! lol! Thanks for all the concern ladies! Stomach bug finally cleared up yesterday after a week! Not impressed and not sure what it is really?! Very Random!

Well done Nickybo you are a real hero cant believe nobody else offered to help though!

Connor has decided that he has a new name, Dave! I have a n extremely random child! When ever I call Connor he says not Connor Mummy I am Dave! He has been 'Dave' on and off for the last few days! Makes me laugh!

I have been doing my surveys but also spending loads thanks to the Grabbit! All for Christmas stash though so well underway! Have done OH's Mum, Dad, and niece and nephew and a few on my side! At this rate will be done by September!

Good to see everyone doing well on the reviewing and rating although I dont do it I am well chuffed for you all! Right off to sort Dave out ready for creche will pop back in a bit!

Morning.

I am such a numpty. I shouldn't write so late, as I managed to put my review last night in completely the wrong place on both sites, just because I read the name wrong in my head. I only realised this morning as someone asked me for a price, and it was a different website. I've had to email both sites and ask them if they could possible move it for me.

Otherwise, I have done nothing this morning so far.

Hello everyone, sorry I have been awol for months :embarasse

Work has just been manic, i took on an extra child plus one of my lo's started their free nursery entitlement with me, my new child has been hard work to settle and is just hard work in general but a good earner as her hours are over 50 per week but not good for the poor child

On the plus side the extra income has enabled us to pay off most of our debts, and if all goes to plan in August we will finish our last thing :j

I have been doing craft fairs at the weekends when possible selling my nappy cakes and jewellery, few have been badly attended but done my school fair on Saturday and done really well

I also made my friends bridal jewellery and cake topper this month and loved it, I done a wedding fair on Sunday and they went down really well so fingers crossed something comes of that too

I have read through the last few pages and nice to see lots of old and new names, well done for keep going, hopefully over the hols I should be a bit quieter so will hopefully get back on here more
