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

Well done Susie - I was thinking of you earlier in the week too. I saw some bridal tiara's on someone's blog. Great news about paying off all the debts, that'll be a huge relief off your shoulders.

Legend - How's Dave today? LOL. I used to call DD 'pudding' as a nick name. One day she suddenly wouldn't answer unless I called her 'Little treasure' I got some funny looks I can tell you. I'd rather have Dave.

Well done Rufus and Michelle - I've done two new ones today, and will post them on chow later, when I've done some rating on DooU. This is hard work but I'm loving it. I managed to get about £2.50 worth of surveys as well, plus a prize draw entry, and some questions for PC. Not a bad days work so far.

Nicky - did anyone take your name last night? The police or anything? I wondered whether the family would contact you and let you know how he got on. It must be playing on your mind. You try and take it easy and relax, you've got the baby to think of.

Rufus - it's a panel. Once a week I get an email with a survey on, and I have to answer a few questions about technical products. You don't have to know anything - I love technology, but I'm not very technical minded - they need to know about products from the perspective of everyone, so they need people like technophobes too. It's not just phones, it's tablet too. I think I've been on there a month so far. I've answered one survey and five questions. I think I get £5 for the survey and £1 each for the questions. Then this happens every month. You get paid by cheque. I can put your name down if you're interested. I've enrolled one person, and I'm waiting for another form to enrol someone else. I can easily add you on the form when it comes. I don't get anything and if you don't like it, you don't have to do it - sign up and see, you can always leave it.

I talked that much then, I forgot what else I was going to say now. I'm off t rate on DooU for a bit - See you all later.

Evening all

Thanks Elysia for the explanation, I will send you my email address. It sounds ok to me, worth a try and see if I get on or not.

Is anyone else not getting the daily emails from DY any more? I just checked and all the boxes are ticked but I have not been getting them since the site went down last week so I don't get the links when you lot put a review on now.

claireylulu

I'm not getting them either rufus

Hi all, hope everyone is well

That cake looks amazing knit, we are having a peppa pig themed birthday for dd in two weeks so I am going to attempt to make a cake, haha wouldn't know where to start with a birthday cake at all!!

Hope Dave is feeling himself again today Legend :rotfl:

Nicky well done for stepping in and helping, I can understand why people dont as it seems we are in a compensation culture these days :mad: You are very brave and I am sure he will be recovering well thanks to you and the other lady being there before the ambulance arrived.

Rufus I love your items for sale, I thought the pink quilt was gorgeous, you really have a talent for quilting, I would definitely have bought it if we had a lil baby

I love all the card making everyone does, it's lovely and I wished I knew where to start with it all. Lack of knowing where to begin has held me back this year though I cannot understand all the lingo yo all use with it.

Well done on the review challenge everyone, you are all doing very well and no-one seems to need a nudge in the right direction yet

I wouldn't mind joining the panel elysia if you can put my name forward, not sure if you can or how it works, sounds interesting.

Over on the grabbit board argos have a clearance on outdoor toys and games, alot of things going very cheap. I picked up a 5 piece bucket set for dd when we go on holiday for 86p (or thereabouts)

Been a bit rubbish with the money making as there seems to be no time, managed to save a fair bit on wrapping paper for dd's birthday 6 rolls of peppa pig paper for 60p, usually retails around £4 a roll :eek: Just need to get all the other bits at a reasonable price now. Can't believe she will be two in two weeks! Off to do some surveys so I will catch up in a bit xx

No, nobody took my details. The police asked if I witnessed the actual accident, which I didn't so they didn't need to speak to me. I spoke to the paramedics about the man and what he had said, what happened when he went unconscious etc, but I didn't give my details as they were busy seeing to him. I've been thinking about it all day. I'm sure he'll be fine, I'd just like to know really. The paramedics seemed quite concerned about his lack of memory.

I asked my class today whether they had bikes that they rode on the streets and across rodes. Nearly all of them put their hand up. Then I asked if they always wore a helmet - 7 kids put their hand up :eek: I told them briefly about the accident yesterday and practically begged them to get and wear helmets. If that had been a child yesterday there's no way they would have survived. Hopefully I've convinced a few more to wear their helmets!


2 more days of work before the lovely summer holidays, I can't wait! I always do a lot more money making over the next few weeks.

Elysia - please will you put me down for that panel too? Do I need to send you my email address? Thanks

elysia2003

Well done Savvy - that wrapping paper was a bargain!!! I can put your name forward if you give me your email address. ETA: I need yours too Nicky. Please don't worry everyone - I'll delete them straight away.

I've had several other replies this afternoon too. I reckon it would take half an hour per week, and imagine how many half hour surveys we get screened out of right at the end. You get nothing at all then. I'm just waiting for them to get back to me with another referal form.

Rufus - they know about the problems, it's all to do with the survey change. Does everyone still get logged out all the while? It's driving me crazy.

Claire - that latest review is really good. What a great idea - those sun umbrellas are a right pain when you change direction in the pushchair.

Thanks Savvy for the lovely comments xx

And thanks Elysia for the update about DY xx

claireylulu

Thanks elysia we find it really useful one of my top products we have bought for the boys.

Yeah I have had login out problems on dy too it drives me crazy.

Had a better evening managed a £1 survey on viva and about 60p on OP along with a new review on c which I tend to post across to dy tomorrow so that's 3/20 for me.

I haven't done much today, been rating on DY. Decided I'm going to try and do a review every other day. Lots of surveys in my inbox so off to do them now. Hope everyone has had a fab day x
