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

Savvy_sewing

Havent really had much to report. Fallen off the wagon a bit. Will have to summons the willpower to go through my various sites and see where I am with the surveys etc. Most of my funds have been transfered from the Christmas pot to the Holiday one as we are off on Holiday at the end of the month. But I will get back on track properly after it. Doesnt give me so long. So an extra effort will be required. I do have a few sewing projects that will hopefully help.

September - you're in the right place. We'll all help. Have you read through the first post with all the sites on? There are more we can tell you when you get the hang of it. If there's anything you fancy joining just pm someone on here and they will refer you. We're not supposed to post referal links you see.

Viva would be a good one to try first (no referal just join). There are surveys nearly each day, but you have to go on the site, rather than be sent an email. Payment is at £10 by paypal, and usually only takes two weeks, so it's one of the better ones.

With a baby in the house just do what you can and when you can

Well done anyway Mooloo - this is money making for Christmas and ALL occasions, so earning money for a holiday is well worth it, you need a rest. Hopefully you'll come back refreshed and ready to go.

Savvy - Well said honey.

Claire - I know how you feel too. It's not the kids who wake me up in this house, not now that they're older anyway - it's the dog. He put's himself to bed about 8 and by 6 or 7 in the morning he's awake and wants to play.

Michelle - I didn't tell anyone your news. I thought you'd like to say yourself. You earned the right, that payment was fantastic. I reckon the pf is to do with rating too. The month before last when I was testing if it was to do with E's I got my lowest payment. But there again it says this on the site:

Why doesn't Ciao publish the algorithm used in calculating Premium Fund earnings?
The Premium Fund is, for the most part, automatically shared out. Various quality measures are taken into account, such as the length of the review, the author’s objectivity and the level of interest which (s)he demonstrates.

So it could be anything - we'll still have to do the best we can and rate as much as we can.

September - it's free listing on ebay this weekend. Have you anything you can sell? Have a sort out - that'll make you some money fast.

Good morning everyone

Feeling happy and positive today, redeemed on viva and have lots to get sorting for ebay, both my listed items have a bit more interest and both have bids so that is a bit more space in the house sorted. Think I may need to spread listings this weekend so they end on different days or I will be in the post office forever holding hundreds of parcels!

morning all,

I got another review posted on DY this morning, I think thats 18/25 but cant remember lol. I also managed to do about 4 or 5 surveys this morning for various sites.

September, try Folksy as well as Ebay and Etsy, I have a shop on Folksy but I havent had it very long. I have made £83 so far.

I put a photo of YD's painting on my blog if anyone wants to have a peep.

Will do my ebaying later on. I have just managed to complete another on Viva, so I'm happy. I didn't think new ones went on in the morning, I've usually found they've gone after 5, so that was a surprise. £7.10 so hopefully will redeem again next week.

I hope everyone has a good day today. See you later.

wow you are all doing so well on your reviews targets. Michelle that payout is amazing! But then you do work so hard at it.

I have my money from viva go in yesterday and just half way through a survey which if I finish and credits mean I will be able to redeem again! Never redeemed twice in one month before!

Baked some cupcakes for a charity bake sale in work on friday and everyones reaction really shocked me. They were all praising me and saying how amazing they were. They were just simple cupcakes with buttercream nothing fancy, nothing like on the cake thread on here! Then they all started asking me if I sell them or not and I ended up with an order for a christening tomorrow! So spent some of today making cupcakes for this order and then stocking up my grandads car as we are off to do a car boot tomorrow (hopefully! eather permitting!). So made a few pounds today from the cupcakes, although will be using that to buy some more cupcakes bits. And hopefully will be making some money tomorrow

Well done Giggles. That's how Esmer started - she made a batch for work, and ended up getting loads of orders. I hope the weather holds for you so you can do your carboot.

Esmer hasn't been on for ages - I hope she's doing alright.

How's everyone else been today? I've been reviewing on Chow all day.
