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

Ha ha nightmare!

I keep asking my family what they want and getting the stock reply of ''oh nothing, don't worry''. Guess I'll spend the money on myself and they can watch me open them when they come round for dinner ha ha

Morning all, have been woken up at 8am by British Gas metering the whole street, thought we were at war with th racket going on. Not best pleased as I'm sure they are not allowed to star work before 9am, they didn't even warn us of the early start time. I'm up so need to get to the post office to post an item. Sold an item on ebay yesterday clearing £25 after fees so just £100 left to reach my target for the year. Would love to push for an extra £500 but I think that may be a little ambitious lol.

The toothfairy emails at 3am hun, so if you have a good news from teh extra toothfairy already then you have won, if not sadly not. The odds are 1 in 10 chance but even with those odds you are likely to win more than you initially paid. No win for me today, down to my last two now.

Lots of housework to be done today, and post office. I need to start my coursework but I just have no motivation which isn't good. Tomorrow we are stopping at a party for an hour but in all honesty all I want to do is rest. I feel dead on my feet all day everyday and getting up in the morning is hard work.

Must get on, hope you all have a lovely money making day

nice idea gill :rotfl:

i have no idea what to get a few on my list
everything in boots, m+s, bhs etc all seems the same as years before
so if i find something perfect for someone chances are i bought it last year or the year before lol
and i always struggle for mens presents
how many socks can they wear lol

Gill, our family is like that, you ask them what they want and they say you don't need to get me anything but you know that they would be disappointed if they got nothing. Last year my family asked us what we wanted, I said anything except chocolate as it ends up sitting there half a year as no one can bear to eat any. The were all told and they all bought boxes of chocolate. I was tempted to save them all and regift them back this year!

Ha ha typical.

My Mum wants new makeup, but has tried to put me on a £20 budget! How I'm supposed to kit her out with everything on that kind of a budget I don't know, plus I've already got her the Buble Christmas album as she loves him. I'd usually spend up to about £50 each on her and my Dad, so I think I'm just going to stick to that and fib! I've cut right back on who I buy for this year, so I'll still be saving money if I do that.

My nephews get cash and a few smellies, brothers girlfriends easy - she wants Disney DVD's and anything sparkly, Nan's 97 so god only knows what to get her and my Dad's a giver rather than a taker and never wants anything so no clue for him either!

Gill - the Natural range in Boots is nice and cheap and its good quality make up, might be worth having a look anyway. I buy it for YD as I hate the prices of some of it now a days from other makes.

I didnt qualify for the other Viva survey this morning but managed about 5 on T going through the sponsored polls from yesterday that I hadnt done.

My C balance went up to £4.37 by this morning, very pleased with that seeing as I only aimed to get a fiver and its only the 5th. I have a few more surveys I can copy over, did one this morning already. I also have the one I suggested that hasnt been added yet so hoping that might get put on.

We are off out today to have a look at a couple of sofas we saw on the DFS web site. Our old one is falling to bits and OH said he would like to get a new one with his bonus for going on the trip. I have talked him into going to Dunelm Mill on the way back too.

YD was out with her mates last night and one of the lads was walking to meet up with them when he got mugged, had his wallet taken (didnt have any money in it) and he was pushed to the ground and had his face stamped on. Silly boy wouldn't report it to the police. It shook YD up again though seeing as she had the knife point robbing a few months back.
