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

Legendmum

Forgot to add on the £2.50 a day challenge last month I made £105.22 which works out at £3.39 a day! Thats from Ebay and Facebook sales and cash surevy sites as I cant work out how much points convert into money! Think I will try and continue with the £2.50 a day challenge this month!
We already buy non brand and I do the price check etc. Will also have to set some challenge to do with T as I did a good stint but have veered off again! tut tut!

Honestly Nicnax - even if you do register nothing will ever come of it, because you won't earn enough. By all means, if it puts your mind at rest go for it. I don't think there's anyone on here who has.

The money isn't regular at all, and one month you'll seem to cash out on everything - and the next month will be a pittance, because you redeemed on everything last month.

Isn't that the way it goes girls? One good month, and then not a lot. If you're doing surveys alone and a bit of personal ebaying (not running a business buying and selling stuff) you'll be fine.

Morning guys.

Lovely to log on and see lots of posts, though I am very sad for you now Legendmum about the dog. So upsetting. It was January we had our cat put down, and I still think a lot about him. I'm glad we still have the other one to keep us going. Thinking of you today. xx

Nice to see everyone posting. I worried a little Elysia about you yesterday as it is so unlike you to post, so I am glad it is because you were out and about.

I've had a good start to the day, though i am really tired. (Up till 1 again, but reading this time. )

• pc x 1
• SNW - 1 x80p, taking me over £20 when it clears.
• YG - 50p, taking me to £49.50
• wrote on DY review.
• added one outdoor play centre to both DY and Chow to write the review later. Let's see if they credit it as a 50p one, as I am sure we have all been to one or two of them.

I'm not even dressed yet. I suppose I should go and get me and the kids dressed. They have made a nest with their duvets and pillows in the middle of the living room. I'm tempted to crawl in and have a sleep. :rotfl:

Awww Michelle - thanks.

I've had a pc one today too. DD1 got a tracker thing off Ips - she'll get £35 for that, like the hygiene one Legend and I did the other day, she has to say what she's doing every hour in a PDA scanner thingy. I've also been a good girl and added five product suggestions to DoU, so I have 6 pending - I'd best get writing soon

I'm still in my pj's too, have been up since 7 F5ing dozens of pages hoping I can get a touchpad still. I'm off out shopping in half an hour, so I'd best get a wiggle on.

See you all in a bit.

Hello Parapet - great first post. You can come again Welcome to MSE hun.

Thanks Elysia like I said I just worry a bit sometimes lol.

Legendmum I'm so sorry to hear about your mum's dog We had to have both of ours put to sleep, 1 last year and one the year before, and they were both more or less still puppies.

Now as for the challenge...
Not sure about changing over suppliers as our electricity DD doesn't seem to have covered our usage recently so we're on an energy saving plan with them. Got one of those little monitor things so you can see what you're using.
I love my tumble dryer, it saves on the ironing lol but I have pegged out today and now the sun has gone in lol
We have recently been changing to a lot of tesco value products and I can honestly say they're not bad

Going to start preparing for the free listing weekend on ebay (been waiting for it ) Got quite a few bits and pieces to list. Been putting a few bits on Netmums as it's free.
Not sure on a challenge yet will have a think.

It was weird as it was so quiet all day.

Managed to get me and DS2 dressed. It's like having mini teenagers already. Don't want to.

I need to think carefully as I have 2 more suggestions left this week, so I want to do things I will be motivated to write when they add them.

Right, see what is happening elsewhere then.

Have a nice one everyone.

Afternoon everyone, I nearly wrote morning, the time has flown by this morning.

We had an upset last night, YD was out with her BF and two mates and they were held up by someone with a knife, he took the boys' phones but luckily no one got injured. The police brought her home at 12.30, they had been up the station for hours doing statements etc. They caught the bloke. She was very shaken up last night so I was awake ages with her. Then we had the police round again this morning for a statement. It has upset the whole day, I have only just got back from town. Was hoping to get up there early to give me the whole day to get things done.

I stripped the bed then went to make a sandwich and found the bread was mouldy lol, so I have to wait for some fresh to defrost before I can eat.

YD has gone to see how BF is now. He has to go and enrol at the college this afternoon. YD enrolled yesterday and starts on Tuesday.


I did another review this morning early before our visitor came. First of the month, it was only a level one. I still need about 150 points to redeem so I might get them today if I can get some rating done this afternoon. I should be ok over the weekend to get some more done as OH is working all weekend.

I dont think I could do 100 reviews by Christmas but I dont mind giving it a go, I suppose we have all of this month plus Oct, Nov and Dec. So its 25 a month and I did that last month. I think I would have to do mostly the level ones though as struggling to find anything to do on level two and definitely nothing on level one at the moment.

I am also hoping to redeem again on T if I can, its taking a bit longer each month so last month I didn't redeem until right at the end of the month so it might work that I miss out September and it comes at beginning of October.

I should get my money from TCB this month for my insurance, not sure when they will pay it, it said September, and it has been confirmed for over a month now. I also want to try to get to payout on SN, I am up to £16 something on there.

Well I must get on with some cooking, I will be back on in about an hour or so when my lunch is ready.

Forgot to say sorry about the dog Legend, we lost our Rufus two years ago now, I found a photo of him the other day, I was going through the old ones looking for pics to do YD a photo book. Found one when he was a baby, he was sitting in the front of my son's old fiesta, his first car, and he had the seatbelt on him lol, it was going through his collar and around him. It looked so funny as he was sitting up proper.
