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

Legendmum

Well I had already placed 1 order by the time you posted Elysia and have just placed a second this morning! To be honest I could easily place a 3rd but DS has loads and I really dont know where I will put it all! Need to pay the money from my pot into my account but all presents awill be money neutral from there! Over £200's worth for about £60 but using vouchers I only have to put £35 cash into my bank to cover it! Christmas is gonna all done before I know it!

done another survey on viva and it hasnt credited If both of them had credited I could have redeemed. I have emailed them to say that no one is crediting, its a long shot but figure it could prompt them to check if there is an error. Just seen what Knit has found on the website, they have always credited straight away before but maybe they have now changed it so that weekend ones credit on Mondays as it says in what Knit has found? Hope thats all it is as that means I will be able to redeem on Monday hahaha

Good morning everyone how are we all today, almost the end of the month woohoo!

Trying to catch up with you all, sadly will be without a laptop for another weekbut on the bright side I will have a slightly better laptop for £100 less, which will be going towards the car repairs needed. Very tempted by the tesco kids toys but I think we have enough for dd from the boots sale for her birthday, we have spent about £29 actual cash for around £400 worth of toys to cover birthday and christmas so far (I had lots of boots points thrrough glitches last year hehe)

I did that last year Savvy. I went to the sale with £105 of points on my card and spent the lot. I'm only at £20 at the mo, so I'm hoping a good few glitches come my way.

I'm glad everyone is starting to get gifts in, it makes it all worthwhile when you can see something physical for your efforts, and paying little or no money for them makes it even better.

Off to Argos in a bit - they have £5 off, plus a £5 voucher if you spend £50, and the same with £10 if you spend £100. It works out roughly 20% so not to be sniffed at, plus I'll be getting DD's items she wants before the rush and they sell out.

Knit - I didn't realise the childminding courses ran so long. Ok from Sept to Dec isn't too bad, but you won't qualify until April. :eek:

Opps forgot to say - Morning or rather Afternoon everyone.

The course it not so long, I t is the other hops you have to jump through with CRB, Ofsted inspection etc, so i will be passed before April, but i will not be working until then, I am taking the time off, plus it takes a while to get steablished, so will advertise for April starts as soon as I am qualified

Same happened to me last night when I did one which took ages and not been credited. Will check again on Monday.

It seems strange that they have always credited straight away then suddenly no ones is crediting!

Feeling motivated today so got my bum in gear and finally wrote the decriptions for some stuff for ebay! Got 15 things ready to put on later to take advantage of the free listings. Going through the dreg of my linen basket now where only the stuff that needs handwashing is left so I can get some things cleaned and see if there is anymore to be put on too!

Well done Giggles.

After feeling so motivated yesterday morning, I can't seem to get anything done today.

All i've done (and it's taken hours) is place a tesco toy order. The codes wouldn't work with what I wanted, so I've spent literally hours, adding things to, and deducting from my order. I'm fairly happy at the moment - I just bought £89 of toys for DD2 for £42. It's taken me the best part of the day though - do you want to know the worst of it? I'm still sat here in my pj's. OH took dd out for the day, and I haven't moved. :eek:

I think I'm going to chill tonight, and get some more reviews/ebaying done, and sort out my month end totals tomorrow.

Hi all

Sorry I haven't been around for the past few weeks, first I was away, and then as we got back my dad was rushed to hospital and hass been diagnosed with cancer. Things are up in the air still, and money making has taken a back seat.

Hope you are all ok, sending hugs xx
