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

Good morning everyone,

I feel so special this morning I received an invitation letter to join Shop&Scan, an actual letter through the post with my name and address on. I didn't know they sent those out, I thought it was just luck if you managed to sign up. I didn't sign up before as I didn't think I'd have time to do all the scanning, but then I regretted it so now I can join. I've got no idea how they got my name and address though!

I got another DY review done, 9/25 now. I am really pleased with myself. I havent been this focused on it for ages. I think working out how much I need to make in vouchers the other day has given me a good kick as well as having this challenge. I managed to redeem for my £20 voucher today, those points seemed to clear quicker than they used to. I am nearly up to £10 on TCB too so will have that as a voucher too so can see me hitting my amount on time unless something drastic happens.

Well done Rufus and Nicky. Sounds a productive morning for both of you.

I have been trying to do old survey invites myself this morning. I did 2 x 80p surv. nw, and a one voice which took my balance to £2.50 on there. Kids are driving me mad though being so noisy.

swag code up for anyone wanting it worth 6

Hello! *peeps in for a friendly face*
It has been too long! Glad to see this thread is still going strong. I need to get back to eBaying at the very least so I have some money for Christmas! Hope everyone is well

Hi all, not much money making done. Finally used my £20 off Tesco shopping to get dd's birthday food and party bits with cashback my shop should be around £14 if it is all delivered. Very pleased as the cake was £10 itself (bought as a backup incase mummy's cake baking is a disaster lol).

Heard back from tax credits and it's good enough, we had a very slight overpayment but I am happy that it's not lots more lol. Maybe run of bad luck over now??

Thanks for the swag code michelle, keep forgetting about that site.

Well odne all on the reviews and reviewing, your doing so well and lots of motivation!

Hi Jammy, long time no see!! Is everything okay with you?

Savvy - I really hope your run of bad luck has ended now. It sounds like you had a bargain with your Tesco shop so maybe the bad luck has changed into good

I had another Ebay item sell last night. It was a surprise as I had forgotten I had even relisted it until I got the email saying it had sold! I might put a few more things on tonight, depends what time DS goes off to sleep.

Hope everyone is having a nice day, we've had lovely weather here for a change.

Evening all

Hi Jammy, Lovely to see you again xx

Nicky, good about the Eaby item. I am still selling the bits my son gave me a couple of months ago but not many of them left now so the money I have been making from there will dry up. Wasnt a lot but I have been using it to buy more craft stuff for making things.

Savvy good news about the Tesco shop and the Tax Credits. Ours has gone down quite a bit this year.

Michelle, thanks for the code but I was too late, always seem to be too late for them. I am up to 755 points on the site now so think its getting there.

I had a couple of PC surveys this evening so that will be £6 LV's to come which are so handy with YD as saves me giving her lunch money, she just takes some of those out with her. I had a couple of T surveys too which I finished. I did all the quick polls on there too. This will be the first month since Christmas where I didnt reach payout level. I am just over 73000 so shouldnt be long into next month but proves they have slowed down a bit this month.

I am off tomorrow morning until Sunday so you might not see me. OH is picking me up at 7.30 in the morning (eek) so I need to have early night and get up and ready early. Said he might even be her earlier than that and I need to be ready. YD is coming with me until Saturday, she can help with the decorating tomorrow.

Hope you all have a nice weekend

Rufus xx

I'm back - did you miss me? :rotfl:

I took Dad's dongle, as mine wouldn't work, and neither would his. :mad: It was brand new too - so it must be something to do with computer. I had a few days off, but I was so bored, I was in bed by 9. :rotfl:

I got back to 80 surveys and I'm not exaggerating. :eek: Most were prize draw entries or closed, but I did get 10,000 on T, 500 and redeemed on MS, a PC, and a few here and there. Shiny new hat for me too - but not on the review I expected. :cool:

Nicky - How did OH get on talking to his Mum, about the film? If you like Ben and Jerry - wait till you try Hagen Daz. I''m pleased Junior is doing well. He/she sounds like they are going to be a whopper.

Legend - Did OH get his van?

Savvy - I'm glad you'll get your laptop refunded - here's hoping means your luck is changing. :A

Rufus - I'm currently at £5 in two weeks on Ciao - I've only done two for the promotion though, so by rights it should be £4. I tend to do one day on DooU and the next on Chow. The way I look at it is, I'm getting paid twice, for the same review. You take care, and we'll see you after the weekend.

Michelle - Congrats :j woohoo :j - you completed your challenge - who'd have thought that with the downtime? :TIt all goes to prove all your hard work is paying off. I'm seriously impressed - well done. Just a reminder - have you been thinking about the mini challenge for next month? Thanks Hun.

Jammy - Long time no see - I'm glad to see you're ok. We are all doing well, and thanks goes to you for allowing me to continue what you started. I just hope I'm not letting anyone down.

Bunbun - Congratulations on your 20th anniversary. I hope you did something special.

I hope I haven't forgotten anyone whose posted recently and I hope everyone is doing well.

rufus have a good time at your dad's. good luck with the decorating. well done on DY and your voucher target

savvy hope your luck is changing!

jammy good to see you again

michelle thanks for the code - I was too late to use it. thanks for bringing me back to reality about my missing S&S points. 500 points sounds so much worse than 50p!

nicky well done on getting an invitation for S&S. so pleased everything went well at your scan. did your OH talk to your MIL? I would have been furious. I was surprised at the amount of small children that were at Harry Potter

lilibet thanks for the info about springer spaniels

mum2one sorry to hear about all your hassles and worries, hope miss hoodie is OK

I had a nice surprise the other day. I got my pay cheque for July. I didn't expect alot as I only worked 2 weeks in July. I also did a couple of assemblies which were extra. My pay was much more than I thought and it turned out that she was originally going to pay me for half an hour each one, then decided to pay me for an hour each then when she worked it out overpaid me. I got about £40 more than expected. she told me to keep it as a bonus!!
