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

Hi ladies.

I've earned about £8 on there so far Elysia, but it is mental I've been on there the best part of 12 hours for that, obviously not just sat there doing that, but it it too long really. I've managed to write a DY review and add some products, and do some chow stuff too, and some survey invites have been cleared. Hopefully I'll feel less unisnspired by it if I win one of the prizes too.

Emma I think for me, I have upped my game in reviewing since doing C too. I find that to get Es i am using the formatting to give my review clear structure, and also adding a picture definitely helps. I'm bad at remembering, have you had crowns on DY?

And also, I have a policy now of only entering film and book reviews apart from whatever the promotion is, that way, i may get the extra 50p for something already written. Your best bet would be to try and get some travel reviews on chow to get the promotion. See if you can get as much info as you can about somewhere you have been, go on about what it was like taking the kids, and then put some sort of piccie, which doesn't even have to be your kids.

I get the feeling a lot of people won't give E unless it has subheadings and a piccie. They aren't even reading the stuff, and sometimes, you won't win anyway as some seem to always give the same cliques don't they. Worth a try?

If you need to add any places on, do it sooner rather than later, as they are taking a few days to add places on, and you don't want to miss it. Even if you add the place without writing the review.

Rufus - have a good day at the fair. I bet that'll be good.

Cornish - if you have a large Mr T extra nearby, I've heard the bedguards are going for less than a tenner, may even be less than a fiver, I can't remember exactly. Here's hoping you manage to find one - it might be like looking for a needle in a haystack though.

Ah Michelle, I didn't think of that, chow might have a toy promotion before christmas, so I might save those reviews!

Thanks Elysia, no Tescos at all near me theres a small one other side of town, but they don't do much in there! Going to have a good google later and if worst comes to the worst I'll pop in argos and use my vouchers

That's what I thought, there might be special promotions like toys before christmas. I think you never really know do you. It's less likely to be books, could be films i guess, but they won't be paid a lot by companies to push those will they?

Just in case some of you haven't noticed, DY ran the competition ages ago where they did a prizedraw if you liked the facebook page. The 1st and 2nd winners have not come forward, so they are going to redraw that next Friday. So in other words, get over and like it if you haven't already done so, because the prizes are 10,000 and 20,000 miles. Now that would be nice.

Right then Emma - Challenge time.

How many reviews are you aiming for? - its 100 days until Christmas. I know you're good and can write a couple a day easily Do you want to go for something like 7 over the week, one a day, or 100 before Christmas? Have a think about what will suit you better, let us know, and I'll be checking on you, keeping you on your toes.

I will go for 5 a week starting my first week from tomorrow, feeling really knackered at the moment so really need the push to do this!

CHA97MICHELLE - I have tried adding pics to my review but it flashes up with a problem that flashes up so quickly that I can't read what the problem is, got a couple more travel reviews to write - got 2 crowns on DY

cha97michelle

Are your pictures you are trying to add too big? I've had that flash up, and I have just opened them in paint, resized them, and then they have uploaded? You are not a white dot, so you should be able to add it.


I have spent some time trying to do some toluna while waiting for my chacha qs tonight. I'm trying to get round you guys. I have a topic on only 10 opinions if anyone has time to stop by it. Let me know if i miss anyone.

ETA and just did a new poll too. I'm going to push it hard this month.

Morning all

Just logged on to check emails and things before I go out, checked T and found my points had gone up by over 50,000 so managed to claim another Am voucher already.

cha97michelle

Nice one Rufus. Might be here before Christmas that one.

Slow start. Doing a bit of chacha, and looking round for stuff to do. Looks like a nice day here though so I am not sitting at the computer all day again. Going out to visit my family later.

Morning all, well husband has took eldest bowling as we had some free vouchers and youngest is crawling around in a bad mood as she is tired but we have removed the dummy during the day so she is finding it a little hard getting to sleep. My plan is to sit and do a review fingers crossed I should have one posted soon although it is one on toys so following the leads above (I agree there could be a toy promo) I am only putting it on DY for now. Have a good day all.
