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

Pablosmummy

Well the total for today (so far, although I dont think I'll do much more tonight tbh) is £1.25. Which is remarkably good for me anyway! 'm so close to redeeming on ips and mysurvey, just need 1 or 2 more to come through!

I tried to do the survey on Mccain but it keep going round in a circle, takes me back to the main page so I gave up ha.

Listed a few books on ebay yesterday, no idea if they will sell but theres no harm trying anyway. Was going to go through all my cds, might see how much music magpie will offer - i havent touched most of the for years and they're taking up valuable space so may aswell get rid.

Hi all

Yet again I'm struggling to keep up - i've just caught up with 5 days of posts :eek: I'm in for the £2.50 a day, as I'm doing the £5 a day thread.
The w/e seemed madly busy as we took my dad to see concorde on sat and yesterday tidied the garden for winter.
Well done everyone on your redeems/reviews/sales and ebaying - sorry I can't reply to every one of you xx

That's funny Skiergirl the kids were talking about concorde over the weekend. It must have been on the telly. Don't you worry about catching up. You're still here that's the main thing.

Pablo's - get those CD's sent. They're not worth anything sat there doing nothing.

Karonher - I didn't do anything at all. It's funny though, I just got an email saying I can have 36 free choc bars If I place my first order. Yum Yum Yum.

Bunbun - did Ds get off ok? I didn't get any message yesterday. I've just checked and still nothing. I've not sent the big scanner back yet. I've not even had any phone calls or letters about not scanning - It's been about 5 or 6 weeks now.

Thanks for the code Michelle - I didn't get it in time. My points are mounting up though. Someone has used my referall without telling me, and my points are rising nicely

I've just done another 5,000 on T, and had a 200 Mys crash on me - It was for a product test too, so I'm not happy. Oh, and S&S has a special thing on today - if you transmit today (instead of yesterday) you still get your points. Woohoo.

How's everyone doing?

Oh forgot to say before....I know some of you MS - do you all know you need to register as self employed with HMRC, even if you only do an odd job here and there ? It's really easy to register by phoning them up. There's loads of info on the MS thread on here, and there was a long discussion last week about tax. If you're doing a reimbursement only job, ie no fee, like the jewellery ones, the whole reimbursement is taxable as it is classed as a benefit.

Hope that makes sense and doesn't sound too preachy

elysia I have resent my pm. I seem to get a phone call a week about not scanning my shopping

skiergirl where did you see concorde? my dad was an engineer/designer for concorde so I have a bit of a soft spot for it

I have decided to have a good go at T as not done anything on there for AGES. I qualified for a few surveys

Pablos - thanks hun. I found that this morning. I just have to remember to do it every day now. There is a new survey on the site, if you've not done one for a while. My points didn't register at all, so I expect a jump of about 230 or so in the next few weeks.

I redeemed for a £20 amaxon on there two weeks ago tomorrow. When you actually put in for the redeem, it says it takes three days. When I went to inform them it hasn't come yet, it says it takes two weeks. I'll let you know what happens, if it hasn't come soon. I expect I won't receive it anyway - but you never know.

Are you talking about redeeming on McCains? If so, don't worry yet. Both of my vouchers have taken around 3 weeks to come and I was convinced each time that I wasn't going to get them .

Rufus - well done on selling a bag :T. As soon as this baby is born I'll be ordering one of your playmats I fell in love with on your site. I just need to know whether to get a blue or pink one!


I had my glucose tolerance test today. It went fine but I did get really dizzy afterwards, even after I had eaten. If they find anything important then I'll be getting a phonecall tomorrow, if not I'll get the results in the post in a week. Fingers crossed the phone doesn't ring tomorrow!

I took my notepad with me as I had a 2 hour wait between blood tests. I thought I might as well be as productive as possible so I wrote 2 long reviews. I must have looked like a looney sitting in the antenatal clinic writing like crazy :rotfl:.

I think DH might be the softie here too. To say he didn't want him, he has done plenty with him tonight.

I'm not sharing my bed.

I haven't watched x factor in years. More of a strictly girl myself.

Thats what you say now re bed sharing!! but those gorgeous eyes will melt into your heart and upstairs he goes!!

Bailey sleeps in the front room, but on holidays in sleeps in the bedroom, he's usually crammed in a single bed with dad, as Miss Hoodie and me get the double!! Thou the best was when we were away at Easter, we'd gone to Rhyl before Miss Hoodie and I had gone to Dom Rep, after we went, Bailey would go to bed for an afternoon nap...

Whisky (the spaniel we lost,before we had Bailey), when he was 2, he had a grass seed in his foot and had to have it operated on, he had his paw and front leg bandaged, he would put his paw out in sympthaty, and lick his bandgage, so the plan was he could sleep upstairs till his bandgage came off.... when we lost him he was 14, and never moved back downstairs!!

He is absolutely gorgeous. xxx

Sorry just thought if he doesn't settle very well at night, what we did with all ours as pups was put an alarm clock in a blanket and in with them, apparently it reassures them as the tick tock, they assosiate still being with the rest of the litter. xx

Sorry to cut your post down.

I redeemed for a £20 Amazon E- voucher this time, and not a paper one. I'd hoped they'd send it before anyone noticed I hadn't actually earned it.

I have my fingers crossed for your results tomorrow, and well done on the reviews. You are brilliant

Hi bunbun

There's a concorde at manchester airport - 10 minutes from me. It's in a purpose built hangar, and its beautiful - well done to your dad

elysia2003

Mum2one - LOL our dog thinks he's human, I'm sure of it. Puts his head on the pillow and everything.

Bunbun - I have a soft spot too - It made it's maiden flight the month I was born. My Dad is really into aeroplanes and used to take us to the airport to see it whenever it came to Birmingham. I was telling my daughter once, all about how it was the safest aeroplane to fly on, having never had an accident in 30 odd years, the next day it crashed. Spooky. :eek:

Thanks for the info Skiergirl - I never go on that thread. Just this one and the grabbit. I'll have to look into it.

I've forgotten who else posted now, so apologies if I've not replied to anyone.

I've re-written two old reviews on DoU for Chow. One has gone on now, and one to be added.

Totals totals : £1 (5,000 points) Toluny, £1 Viva, 24p Crwdlgy, 20p PP, 30p DoU, 52p Chow, 50p (80pts) Mysrvy.

Total: £3.76
