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

Well I managed £1.86 yesterday and have just caught up on all you gabbing as I didn't log in yesterday lol! Not being very productive with money making, had to do shopping this morning and the car needed two new tyres so not good, we then decided an hour before OH had to be at work that we needed to move our front room round (big double room) to allow more heat to escape from the radiators so now had a big change round, had to sort bedroom to move a DVD cabinet and all to uncover a foot of radiator!! every little helps I suppose. Going to do some reading now and will be back with totals later.

Well done a little better today than the last few days but my rolling total is still above £2.50 a day so i'm still quite happy with it and just managed to post a review first one in a couple of days. Ips- 0.72, T - 0.48, chow - 0.35, DY - 0.26, Viva - £1 so total for the day £2.81.

The viva one was a nitemare and took about 45 mins so I wasn't impressed, anyone noticed some of T surveys are being credited within a day pretty good for them I reckon.

Bendy - Well done. I'm proud of you. We're all here to help each other, as you know. You'll find it easier, being a part of the group, than going it alone.

Emma - well done on your totals. You've done brilliantly. We had to put the heating on here yesterday - it was so cold.

Nicky - ohh how cute of DS. That'll be a pic to show the girlfriends later. Well done on the unexpected Am voucher. I love it when that happens.

Ebay - I sold three out of the six. They were the ones that didn't sell last time, so I'm quite happy really. I have 24 ending tomorrow, with a fair few bids, and lots of watchers, so I have my fingers crossed.

How has everyone's Saturday been? I hope it didn't rain too much where you are - it's tipping down here.

Morning all

I was awake at 1 and couldn't get back to sleep, think its where its first night in my bed on new mattress and I couldn't get comfortable. Will take a bit of getting used to. Ended up coming downstairs on the settee but didn't mind as wanted to be up early to watch the Grand Prix. I will be shattered later on.

I had another 70p on C this morning, up to £4.20 on there so hoping I can get it over the fiver. I am up to 12000 something on DY so with a bit of a push I might be able to redeem on there this month too, especially as OH will be away 10 days and I will have sole rights to the lap top lol.

I havent got any more surveys to do this morning and being a Sunday might not get up to my £2.50 today but I have two £2 coins in my purse so going to put them in my tin. I haven't been putting any away for ages as not really going out shopping and getting the coins in my change. I dont think there is much in the tin already, may be about £4 so will come up to £8.

Off out to Dad's lunchtime so wont be able to check my inbox again until this afternoon.

Hope you all have a nice Sunday, raining here at the moment, has been since I got up but its supposed to stop later on and supposed to be nice tomorrow.

Morning all, I have no surveys this morning which is annoyed as I am so close on ips and VO, I have written a review to go on a little later when their is more people rating and hoping to get another on this evening. I have done a couple of opinions on T and I even posted one of my own last night first in a while although only 6 people have commented.

Not doing too much today a bit my prep for winter in house and garden (if the rain stops) and then probably some reading this afternoon as he OH will be watching F1 which I hate.

Rufus - I had a bad night too, and ended on the settee. DD decided she wanted to sleep in our bed, so it was me, OH, DD2 and the dog. It was a bit of a squash to say the least. Something must be bothering her, she hasn't done that in ages.

Well done Emma - great review writing hun. You're certainly finding the challenge motivating. I love that.

I'm off out to the cinema this morning - four free tickets to Footloose so saved about £30. When I come back my ebay stuff will be starting to end, (they are spread out over the afternoon and evening), so I may not get back on - I'll be hidden under a mountain of brown paper and parcel tape.

See you later everyone - have a great day.

Morning everyone.

In bed at 1:30 and then up at 6:45 again, which I know is no good for me. I must take it easier next week. I earned about £15 though yesterday on Cha, and did some chow and DY as well, got lots of Es on one review.

Surveys going less well, but I can't do everything.

It's cold out here, but the insulation must be great in our house as it is still 23 degrees inside, so no heating has kicked in yet, thankfully. I am sat in my fleecey dressing gown too, and will use the pup as a hot water bottle shamelessly too before resorting to heating.

No real plans today. Get the pup for a walk. Get more Cha done. more washing and more tidying up. However much I do there is more to be done.

I'm going to get some warming stew in the slow cooker again. Yum. I like autumn and winter meals best.


ETA - don't forget the shop and scan or tissues today girls.

Gosh it's quiet on here today.

Thanks for the reminder Michelle, I came on here to post that, if no-one else had. Chilly here now, it was lovely this morning.

Have written a review on Footloose - have added it to Ciao and DooU but I expect the latter won't add it until it's nearly out on DVD again. It was good if anyone fancies it. Although a dance film, it had lots of action, and the guys would like it too.

I need to start packing up my ebay stuff - so I'll be back later on. Enjoy the rest of your afternoon everyone.

Evening all

I managed to put 4 £2 coins in my tin today so I am over my £2.50, I know its not made on here but its saved up anyway. Also saved a bit of money as OH bought himself a shirt in the sale in M&S, I told him it would be too small but he was sure it would fit as he has "lost some weight", you guessed, it was too small so I said I would have it for Son for Christmas instead as he is a bit smaller than OH. Is a lovely quality shirt and cost £15 which isn't too bad. I just need to get him some bits and pieces. Thinking of doing a cook hamper of some kind, like Italian or something and putting a cook book and ingredients in but need to find a reasonable price book first to start me off. Might have a look in Works tomorrow.

Its been raining all morning, then the sun came out and its been lovely and warm all afternoon.

Ebay hasn't gone too badly. I've had 10 items out of thirty not sell, but they'll get re-listed on the next free day again. Still a few to run, but waiting on payment for the majority of them now. I should clear £100 again, so it's been a great boost for my end of month totals.

I still need to do tissue and s&s, so I'd best get a move on before X Factor starts.
