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

Savvybunny2009

Morning all, lovely to see lots of money making happening.

Go Wales!! I don't do Rugby but hope they win for you Welshies

Sorry to hear you are ill Nicky, I have got exactly the same as you, I wouldn't mind but I already had the iness bug but dd has infected me again luckily no infections as yet just the sore throat, feels like my vocal chords have been through the shredder! Hubby has made me a cup of tea which helped, then put soup in a mug for me whichhas helped too. Currently sucking a soother before I swig back the chesty cough syrup, we have honey and lemon in the cupboard as a back up but I don't particularly like either. Christmas before last this happened and I lost my voice for a few day and it was awful. Hope some of my remedies work for you, they have all helped me a little.

Redeemed £6.16 on topcashback this morning and 30p on onepoll. Submitted my S&S today so I don't forget tomorrow. Everything has been photographed for ebay already so I think I might knock up a review later once I have caught up on things.

Forgot to say Elysia, that I didn't find where the money went I just haven't had the energy to go through everything yet. I will do next week though and see how our finances stand.

Does anyone know what the Christmas exchange for Tesco is likely to be? We have £14 in points (can you tell we only shop there during glitches lol) I'm wondering if its 4x or 3x value at Christmas? I have never really bothered with Tesco clubcard but thought it was worth a go. We have quite a bit toy wise so maybe we should exchange for restaurant vouchers and treat ourselves to a few meals out instead.

Off to have a look at the other thread incase I have missed anything over there, seems that now everyoneis talking about Christmas I feel completely unorganised!

Savvy - the instore exchange which is likely to be next month, is double. If you wanted to get more from the £14, you could pay for a day out or a meal out etc. It would then be worth 4x the amount.

I've just bought tickets to the safari park for three adults and one child and it cost £14 in CC vouchers I think (it might have been £15) but it's £15 each to go in, so quite a huge saving. Have a look and see if there's anything you fancy, and if there isn't exchange them during the instore offer (which is only double).

I hope you feel better soon.

Nicky - Can you have honey and glycerin? I think that's all the docs give now anydays. Well, around here they do. It's cheaper to buy from the chemist rather than prescription, so I'd just double check. Well done on your ebay items.

Emma - I haven't a clue. What colour is it? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hello all

Sorry, I've been a bit quiet, I've had a lot of family problems over the last few days and I have felt soooo stressed It has not been good!

Anyway, in terms of money, I had a good day thursday with my surveys - made over £10 so was pleased with that, but not very good yesterday as I only managed £1.10! Hopefully have a better day today! I recieved my shop and scan bits this morning so that will earn me some extra pennies and I also recieved my first mystery shop assignment which once completed will earn me £15 so not too bad.

Well done to everyone for all your money making over the last few days and sorry to hear of anyone that is not very well, having a bad time etc..

If anyone needs to buy photo gifts, I've just had an email from Argos - they have a £5 promotion running (until the 25th Oct I think)

Dont mention the match ladies! Although extremely proud to be Welsh and proud of our boys I dont wanna talk about it! :mad:

Anyways Quidco has been paid! £76 something! Woohoo thats target for the day! Off to see what I can find!

elysia2003

So sorry Legend. I wasn't watching. I've been making cakes and cheese straws with DD2. Well done on the mahoosive quidco payout. Woohoo.

Thanks for the tips ladies, I'm feeling a bit better now I've got dressed and brushed my hair, amazing the difference that can make. I've had lots of hot tea and just had some tomato soup for lunch which seems to have soothed my throat. I didn't get to the pharmacy before it closed but I bought some Lockets from the shop. I checked the pack and it said it was okay for pregnant ladies so I'll stick with them and hot drinks for now.

DS is watching the first Harry Potter on DVD so now I can get a bit of money making done. Off to see what I can find .....

elysia2003

Glad you're feeling a bit better Nicky. Does your local Asda or Mr T, Morrisons or whatever have a pharmacy? If you start to feel rough again, you could always get some from there before it closes.

Thanks for the reminder about ebay - that will be tomorrow sorted out - plus my first S and S. :j
Just writing a few articles about Paris today and doing a few surveys. T is letting me finish most of them now and not screening me out. Not even close to payout anywhere though.

No chance to write tonight as it is my friends daughters 18th birthday party so I am just praying Everton win as there will be far too many Reds there to gloat if we dont.

Good luck with ebay everyone

I hope they win for you hun. xxx Good luck with the ebay and s&s. Just a tip - If your photo's don't upload as they are too big, you can resize them in Paint. I've got fed up of resizing, so I've changed the settings on my camera from 12 MP to 4, so I get around it that way.

Michelle - I hope you're feeling a little less stressed this afternoon.

I've spent hours rating today, and another couple of hours doing a review. If I've still missed you - I'll be there. Having so many reviews go on at once, meant tonnes to catch up on. Chow kept crashing as I added the product suggestion, so it took much longer than usual. Grrr.

I'm going to re-list my unsold today, and have a sort out for new stuff to ebay tomorrow. Well that's the plan anyway.

Have a great evening everyone.
