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

DD goes back to school on Tuesday too Michelle. I was going to finish the wallpapering then, but I have to do it now, so it can be dry for OH to finish painting it on his day off Tuesday. This has really dragged on. I usually get the painting and wallpapering done in two days, but with being ill, a day out during the week, an having to paint over the wallpaper (waiting for it to dry inbetween) has really meant it's lasting longer than I hoped. The whole house is a tip, so I'll have to do that too.

Sorry your still feeling poorly. You have to take it as a sign that you're doing too much and need to slow down. Well done on the SB redeem. I've just asked for my Chow money to be paid £20.75, I only did 7 beauty too, and only 8 in total.

I've just written one about the safari park, and it's rather long so I apologise to anyone who reads it. I'll post it later when there are more people over there rating and I've got the papering done.

Legend - there wasn't a lot of coats online, so you didn't miss much. I tried to make use of the code, but the coat I wanted instore, wasn't online at all.

Rufus - I'm glad OH spoiled you. You deserved it. I'd love to see the material he bought (I'm nosey like that. LOL) Can you post a pic? DD brought me a Dressing gown robe from China, the most wonderful peacock blue with hummingbirds over. It's so beautiful but I never wear it, so you should make yourself something nice, and use the scraps to make a cushion for you, to remember them by.

Don't forget tissue and s&S everyone. Oh, and ebay listing if you're doing it. I made another tenner yesterday, and listed a couple more items.

One new review on each, with fingers crossed for a crown, and I just requested £37.09 on Ciao, which is only £1 less than last month so not all bad.

Will see if I can get some more reviews on tonight seems though DH is out all evening, and then I will be pacing myself again, as I can't afford to be so wiped out when the kids need sorting. It will kick start next month's total at least.

And thanks for the reminder about the s and s. I had forgot. :eek:

Sorry so many of you are ill - hope you feel better soon x

I've managed 10 new things on ebay today plus some relists, just need to remember to start them before the scheduled time

I spent yesterday tidying up outside ready for winter, today I've just felt reallly lethargic and cba doing much.

Hope you've had nice weekends x

Hi everyone

OH has gone to bed early, he is still jet lagged poor thing. We didnt even go and collect the car today after all so we will be out doing it tomorrow.

Elysia - I will take some photos of my fabric etc and put them on my blog tomorrow if possible.

I have just checked the survey sites as I've got the laptop for the evening but nothing going. DY points still havent all cleared so I will check again tomorrow.

Just got the girls their xmas outfits dress and cardigan each plus some hello kitty knickers for eldests stocking for £20.25 cause of Tescos 2 codes working together so really please. Only managed just over £1 today but sundays always seem quiet. Need to write at least 1 review tomorrow to try and get to cash out on DY.

Hope everyone else is doing ok, don't supposed we will be able to earn much more now to count towards this xmas.

Keep going Emma - you never know! Whatever redeems too close to Christmas, can go to bargains in the January sales, which will save money for birthday gifts throughout the year, or for the Christmas afterwards if you buy wrapping paper and cards etc.

Just one more month to go (or 6 weeks at a push) - we can do it.

I look forward to your pics Rufus. Have a lovely few days with OH.

Skiergirl - well done on the ebay listings. I got a couple on yesterday, but nothing today as my camera was flat when I went to do it. It's just charged and so I need to do the S&S receipts before bed. I hope you feel a little better having had a rest, and that your not coming down with anything, like the rest of us.

I'm off now so take care everyone - night night. x

Evening ladies. Had a good day today, woke up and the tooth fairy left £5 again so that was my £2.50 for the day sorted before I got out of bed

I have seen this before but dont understand about the tooth fairy and £5. Is this something to do with a site as I only know the tooth faiy as leaving money for teeth - but £5 :eek:

Karonher - it was posted on the grabbit a while ago. If you buy Wrigleys (I think) chewing gum, each promotional wrapper has a code on, and some of these codes give you £5 the morning after you enter it online - hence the tooth fairy has called.

Michelle - What are we like, doing rating this time in the morning? You need to get some sleep hun. :eek: Says she who can't sleep because I keep coughing.

Morning all

I started taking some photos this morning and then my batteries died in the camera and I havent got time to charge them up this morning so I will do them later on when we get home.

I redeemed my DY points this morning for an Am Voucher.

Caught me.

Thanks for explaining the tooth fairy as I had missed that one, and I was only rating because I found the kids had nits yesterday, so I had to wait up for DH coming in from work which was about midnight so we could treat his hair. By the time he ate and stuff, it was that time.

I've got so much to do. Washing all the bedding and towels, as I didn't feel right using them afterwards, and then I also need to check everyone's hair again as DS2 was not being that co-operative.

Always happens when you have not got the energy to deal with it.
