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

Hiya everyone.

I think a few of us have been quieter today haven't we. I'm ok Elysia thanks for thinking of me. I've been trying to pin down some surveys and getting nowhere. One 75p SNW one, 15p on OP, 48p on crowdology. I'm wondering if it is like in January when everyone is feeling skint and trying to do them.

I've also been cha-ing. I'm not earning a lot to be honest. I'm getting a Q every 2-4 minutes, at 3p per time, taking about 5-10s on average to answer. While it is all extra on top of anything else, my vote is still out on how good the pay is.

I've also been trying to spend a bit extra time with DS2 as i think he is secretly a bit nervous about starting nursery on Monday, even though he is looking forward to it a lot. I'm a bit wiped out myself today to be honest. It's been a long week.

I'm glad you are all getting some good bargains there. Keep sharing what you are buying, as ideas of what to buy are always helpful.

good luck with the violin lessons elysia! ds2 had violin lessons for a while but didn't take to it. he has stayed with his guitar lessons though and is getting quite good

the dog is settling in well. he is a great little thing - very bouncy! he is so much better now he can go out for walks and runs round the field with the boys! he is fast asleep at the moment. he goes in his crate no problem as I tend to put him in there when he gets overexcited - he just lies down and goes to sleep.

100 DAYS!!! WOOHOO!!!

Seems I didnt explain myself properly! I figured you wouldnt get £10 back for only making £30 but meant £30 was the limit to make and spend! Oh well at least we all know what we are on about! Next time I think I will just post a link this whole thing has hurt my brain! lol

Mini challenge - Defo up for that! Everything I havent sold on Facebook will be going on this weekend and I dont care what I get as long as its gone! Alot of it is Summer clothes so wrong time to sell them on Ebay but hopefully some people are going on holidays! I need my Kitchen table back its been taken over for months and as it gets nearer to Christmas I want to start making snowman soup etc so need the space! Will have to ship DS and OH off for an hour or 2 on Sunday so I can do my thing!

Sorry Legend I didn't actually read the link, I was just going by what other people posted - paypal take 5% and ebay 10%.

It doesn't matter if you don't get much for it, as every penny counts, and this last couple of months we're going to be have to be dedicated.

Just off to Argos again. I was thinking of getting DD a basketball hoop for the garden, and she mentioned it yesterday, as she does netball for an after school club, so I may as well take advantage of the 342 and get her a couple of birthday pressies.

I forgot to say - yesterday afternoon I wrapped all of her Christmas pressies up. :A I don't want a repeat of last year when I was still wrapping on Christmas Eve despite being organised beforehand.

Morning all

I have one item on Ebay, I cant think of anything else I can put on at the moment. I tried clothes earlier in the year and they didn't go down well, not that I have any.

I did another review yesterday so that was a bit towards it. I had to order some printer ink as YD has been having to print out things for college and our ink had gone altogether, she was going to my brother's and he was printing them out for her. Means another dig into my Am vouchers. I still have enough for her blackberry and enough for OH's dvds he wants, I just need to get some more to get something for my Son and for my Dad.

No surveys this morning, although I did manage a couple yesterday, one was from NV but I cant remember who the others were from, might have been YG and another I think.

My sewing machine has gone wrong so that is being collected on Monday, means I can't sew for a week or so until it comes back so I am concentrating on my knitting instead. I have done the two fronts and am on the back now. It is a bit daunting as its such a big piece to knit and all in the aran pattern.
