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

emmad5689

Afternoon all, quick post as I am off to work shortly. I have done a few T polls this morning but every time I went through to a survey it kicked me out. Using my sisters laptop which is really slow so haven't been able to do much more which is annoying.

Got to take my grandma shopping in the morning and then at work again tomorrow afternoon so still won't get much done, went into Asda this morning and the woman on the clothes desk said some items are going on sale tomorrow although she said she didn't know what.

Can't remember who asked but other half will prob have to have the 3 weeks, they can't do the op keyhole as he has too much scar tissue in the stomach area and he has a physical job, I wish I knew exactly when it was to help plan but not really much we can do. At least all the xmas shopping is done apart from a present each of each of our girls and then nothing else!

have a good day all xx

I'm back! still a bit high but after an hour being stuck on the monitor its back to normal range again. got midwife coming here again on friday to check it again anyway so we'll see what happens then. I'm going to have to create a calmer environment! although when she came this morning I was half asleep on the sofa with the cat, dont know how much more relaxed I can get lolol
Thank you for thinking of me anyway!!!

Might do a few surveys this evening, off to browse the grabbits, I really need to start my christmas shopping!

Hi Everyone

Hope you are well. I have just caught up with all your postings - sorry I havent been on here for a while (again) but I just dont seem to have any time at the moment - very slack i know!!! I am doing a craft on 26/11 and another one 10/12 so I have been trying to make lots of items for that (mainly baby cakes and pamper cakes) and also I have decided to do a car boot sale this weekend to try and clear some of the clutter I have. I keep meaning to take advantage of the ebay free listings weekends but so far havent managed to, anything decent that doesnt get sold on the car boot I will try and ebay, although Ive never sold anything on there before so will have to go back to your instructions at the beginning of this thread.

I am still waiting for my love2shop voucher I redeemed from T, I know it takes a while to come through but it feels like ages and ages ago I applied for it and I cant wait to spend it, ha ha!!! I also redeemed on Ipsos recently and went for the Amazon voucher cos I thought they might email it to me straight away but sadly not

Although I joined in this thread fairly late and so cant make my Christmas money neutral this year I have been trying really hard to keep costs down (have such a big family and so does OH) and making the most of the offers on the Grabbit board. Am actually nearly finished and have wrapped everything that I have bought so far so not feeling too stressed about that.

Anyway, sorry to waffle on just didnt want to always be a lurker and never comment!!!

Claros I ordered a T Love2shop voucher end of September and it arrived today! Maybe that will help give you a time period for yours?

Claros - In that case you've done brilliantly. And wrapped too!!!

I spent some time this afternoon just finding stuff, and trying to get them in some sort of order. I have presents everywhere.

Foxy - whoever receives that is going to be so chuffed.

Pablos - that's good news hun. Take it as a warning - slow down a bit, and do the xmas shopping online instead.

Chel - I'm glad that telegraph thing helped. Well done on being so organised.

:oBeen to see the Coca Cola lorry yay its nearly Christmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!
Kids had their photos taken, and luckily I had parked quite a way away and was done and home within an hour and a half. One of my friends who was leaving at the same time as me was still stuck in the car park over an hour later!
Legend - thank you so much for getting the Stig for me, hopefully one day I will be able to return the favour.
Have sorted out everything that I have bought already, my DS has told me he isn't bothered which Star Wars lego he has now which takes the pressure off trying to find the Millenium Falcon. I was looking in Mr T earlier and they have some quite big pieces at reasonabe prices, thought I might double up my vouchers and get it that way - although I was thinking of saving them up and using them for OH and I on our 10th anniversary next year. What to do!

One other thing Elysia - do you think we should get a list of names of who wants to do the Secret Santa and try and get it sorted out? I would be happy to help if you would like me to?

Claros78

Thanks for that LegendMum, hopefully mine will come tomorrow as Im planning on going shopping anyway, fingers crossed!
Thanks Elysia, mine were strewn all over the place too so thought Id better start wrapping before any little noses started poking around
Im keen to join in the Secret Santa Foxy if thats ok ?
