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

Savvybunny2009

Good morning everyone.

Had a great start today, did four web surveys on viva all credited correctly so looking hopeful for another redeem this week.

VO is 5p from the payment threshold, grrrr typical isn't it lol. Duid a piney this morning and two ips so all looking good. No luck today on the starry one though

Two items I had put on ebay aren't doing very well, you would think kids toys would but I guess it's was bad luck listing them last week. He ho at least it will be less clutter and a few pennies. till trying hard to get to the £50 on the bay this month.

Good news about the childminding stepmum, that will really give you a cashboost. Hope things calm down for you soon.

Hope the changes at work go smoothly foxy, same happened to me when I went on maternity leave. There isn't any referal bonus for viva but if your not on it it is definitely worth signing up, it's my biggest earner for money making since we found it.

What a pain about your article Elysia, puts me off taking the test (if it ever appears lol). At least they pay the surveys, I guess that is something.

Morning

Review 14/20 getting there.

Out this afternoon so not going to get much done.

Foxy we went camping to the Peak District at the end of July we had a lovely time. Really enjoyed a day in Buxton lots to do there. If you like shopping (shh don't tell these guys or i'll be in trouble ) Bakewell has lots of lovely independent shops. If you like walking there is the Tissington trail and the Monsal trail - disused railway lines. Lots to do.

Well done Claire on your other review

Foxy - you will love the Peak District. It's beautiful. Gullivers kingdom is at Matlock if your kids are under 10 (sorry I can't remember how old they are)

Savvy - well done on all the payouts. Don't worry about ebay - your things should do ok. The free lisiting will only be a bother if people put things on a one day listing, which they aren't.

Stepmum - calm down, take a rest. Right, you have made some money so you're ok. Plus, you're getting things in place to make some more - so don't be so hard on yourself. You're doing brilliantly honey.

Did you see the time of my post? I was up at 3. Makes a change to going to bed a three, I suppose. LOL.

Well I have joined Viva, at £2.85 today and it is very addictive isn't it! I take it you can get to redeem every week if you do the surveys every day, not a bad money maker is it!
Just booked the campsite near Matlock, looking forward to my fish and chip supper next week already!

Morning all

I had to go up town this morning early and then did some sewing when I got back. I hve two more cushion ready for my shop but need to do the photos later on.

I Did a few surveys this morning, and I had my £5 gift card from SB. I need another £80 now on AM for my presents.

Talking about camping, OH's brother has a caravan and asked us to get a tent and go camping with them next year. I dont think so lol. We used to camp a lot when we were kids with my parents but I know I wouldnt be able to do it now, I wouldnt be able to get down to and up from the bed for a start lol. Plus the cold would put me off, I suffer terribly with the cold.

Oh no Rufus - I like my home comforts too much. A weekend I could manage but any more than that. NOooooo

Foxy - Matlock is the best place in the whole world for fish a chips, sat by the river. I can taste them now. Mmm

Savvy - thanks for the link to the socks. I need to get DD some, so I'll have a look see if there's any left in a mo.

Well I've had a day and a half. Went shopping - took my dad so it always takes longer, paid, got petrol, everything fine. Tried to drive home and the car died. Called Aviva breakdown, told them we were on the Stratford road in Birmingham, they'd only got someone from Stratford, in LONDON to come and rescue us.

Then going home we got stuck on the Motorway for 12 miles, it took us an hour to do one mile at one point. It took us three hours to get home.

Blimey Elysia, I hate getting stuck in traffic, I always fine I am bursting for the loo and the more I want to go the slower we get.

I did a couple more surveys on Viva this afternoon, NV ones. Dont know if they were new or I had just missed them.

I got my new cushions on my shop, there's some pics on my blog.

elysia2003

Well done Rufus - I know, I wanted to go too.

If you did the surveys earlier, have a check again, because they put new ones on at 5. I only managed one.

rufusdog52

I just done them Elysia so they must have been the new ones.

I might see if I can find something else to review as OH has gone off to work and YD is round ED's looking after the grandchildren for a bit. I promised her I would help her with her painting when she gets home, she is painting a pic of her and BF as a present for him. She is doing well, but I had to help her with the eyes this morning as she couldn't get them looking right. She only has to do the tops they were wearing when she gets in. He comes back tomorrow so doubt we will see much of her again for a few days.
