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

elysia2003

OH just bought me a cheque for £27 for recycling my old phone - so check your drawers and see if you've got one to do it too. I only posted if off the day before yesterday so fab service plus £4 cashback through TCB. Not bad for a rubbish phone, and it means my BB only cost me £60.

I just got a product test from piney too. My first one. It says I will be paid at the end, is that £3 too does anyone know?

Boat - there are no men who comment, but I bet there are a few lurkers. How are you doing hun, not with the money making, with everything else? Sorry, I know I'm nosy, I just worry about everyone. I'm checking you're ok.

ETA: Just noticed the site is closing at 11.00, so I'll log off now. I'm going shopping. See you all later.

Thanks Elysia, are you like the mum of the thread keeping an eye on everyone? We are doing well I think, bit of a shock to the system getting used to the different sleep patterns but my oh is brilliant and does a lot more than his share and unfortunately had to go back to work quite a bit more quickly than we would have liked as the drop to statutory for 2 weeks was just too much for us to afford at he moment, so he just took the leave he could. Still very tender from the section but it does seem to get a little bit better each day, thanks for asking though.

Shame about one poll for you, do the the surveys tend to disappear very quickly on there?

Yes think it is £3 for pinecone, although have noticed some people get £4 so don't know if you get different amounts for different types of surveys. Should get my first voucher in the next few days so will let you know.

Elysia I have done some Pineys and got paid £3 for initial survey and £3 after product test!

Guess what I have just learnt to do -- - watch

Wow Legend, well done on the piccy lol and what a bargain with the shoes xx

Boatgirl, yes Elysia is "Mum" to the thread lol and keeps us all motivated, she does a wonderful job. We all help each other on here but she is the ring leader and we are all greatfull for the time she puts into it xx

Skiergirl

Elysia and boatgirl - PC used to pay £4 but anyone joining now only gets £3 per survey. You get £3 for the follow up survey too if you're lucky enough to get a product test :j

Gill - I do daily free spin games on a couple of bingo sites, plus one bookie has regular offers too. Hve a look at the GIOL board, but be aware, if you make a mistake it can cost money.

Rufus glad you enjoyed last night

Legend - well done on the redeem, the photo and the 4p shoes :T

Savvy - nice to see you on the card thread, it's very quiet on there at the moment, but everyone is really helpful and friendly (bit like here )

foxy - well done on the sales :T

H everyone, been trying to do surveys but viva was not kind today, just a warning don't bother with the one off survey for 85p thats added today as an extra button, it doesn't credit and just aimed at spamming you, grrrr.

Nice bargains there Legend, I found 4p jeans and a jumper a few weeks back and got the 4p halloween tights just before halloween too. The staff had their scanners a few days ago scanning everything instore, probably as they saw me in there again so no bargains left I felt all sad just buying dinner and having no bargains

Jpeg of the photoshoot arrived on cd today (only agreed changes yesterday!) so need to find somewhere that does cheap prints, I swapped some unwanted items for a gorgeous leather frame set so that will sort the ones for the house just need some bauble prints and some to give to family for Christmas. Also need to do at home photo shoot too, luckily we have spot lights and a wall where I can hang a white sheet, really hoping I can get some good shots on the cheap lol.

Just £15 off my aim for this year, and if the two voucher's I was expecting get sent I shall have made that today Just ordering the last few presents left to do, money making to spend in the sales/next year. I need to go through what I actually have in vouchers and update my list I feel so unorganised for some reason lol

Boat Girl - I have to make sure you're all ok. You'll get LV vouchers at first off Piney, but then they'll ask if you want to be paid by paypal instead. OP surveys only last minutes, so you have to check in regularly.

Rufus - ahh that was lovely. Thank you honey.

Skiergirl - when you first came on here, I wondered where I'd 'seen' you before. Before I started this thread last christmas, I was addicted to the card making thread. Thanks for that thread link. I'll have a study of that later.

Legend - you clever girl doing those photos. How did you do that then? I haven't a clue. 4p boots - would that be 4p a pair or 4p for both? :rotfl: I've just been to T's, no bargains whatsoever in mine.

Savvy - wow that's great service with the photos. I'm hope you are pleased when they are printed. I used to use Max Spielman for photos, but the paper they are printed on now is a bit thin and cheap. It doesn't really matter once it's in a frame though.

I'm off to find some surveys - see you all later.

I can't believe that I forgot to sign up to OP!!!!

Just done it now, up to £2.60 and a few competition entries so not too bad - I'm gutted I forgot though as I've missed out on earnings now, it was on my list too !!!!

Well done on the bargain shopping everyone, I NEVER find stuff like that though saying that, I've never really used this website to its full potential before so maybe 2012 could finally be my year ???

Off to do some more lurking / earning / stalking now ha ha
