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

Very jealous of only men aloud. They are an all male choir from Wales that were on that best choir reality show a couple of years back? They are really good. I wouldn't have minded seeing them.

Emma -just do what you can love. I am driving myself crazy with it all again, but its amazing how motivating 50p a review is.

Mumto3 - congrats on the crown. My first one amazed me. I'd been working hard for months, and it was one I put very little effort into in the end. The 2 this week surprised me. One perhaps should have had one last week, but missed out. It all helps at this stage.

Elysia - I haven't spent much time at all on MSE which is how I'm doing it. I've barely done any surveys either. I just have all these different windows open, so I'm reading one on c, then one on dy, and starting bingo when it needs it, then answering cha when it comes in. somehow it seems to be muddling along. So far I've copied 16 reviews across, which is a lot easier than writing new stuff. I was also up till 1 last night, back up by just after 7. The kids are cream crackered so a lot of slobbing about playing with the lego mini figures out the advent calendar or watching Christmas films, and I bought murphy a new toy today so he has been no trouble really. I won't be able to keep it up, but I want to do what I can before having a proper break over Christmas. that is my current plan. I bought some multivitamins, and I am feeling fitter for it now my sinuses are finally clearing up. :beer:

currently i am working through latest reviews on c, but i then will go back and work through my circle to see what I missed. It moves so quick I have not got past the last page all day.

LOL Michelle - that's what my mum does. Mr T at 3am, she says its bliss.
Sorry to hear about the dent in the car - can it be mended with one of those suction things or will it need a paint job? Either way, it's more money. Grrr.

Cornish's insurance works out about the same as DD1's. I thought it would be less living in Cornwall rather than Birmingham. There was this program on TV this morning about it, and they are trying to bring costs down. I hope so, it's not fair. Saying that, it's always been high, I paid £1,000 for my first insurance and that was 23 years ago. :eek: I had a gold (a real gold colour, very bling ) Renault 5. I loved it.

Savvy - thanks for the info. I have Malware bytes installed, but it can't find anything - so a re-install it is. I've saved all the important files this time thankgoodness. So the spreadsheet should be ok. If I'm not around later on, you know what I'm doing.

I was expecting to see a Rolls Royce or a Jag with ins at that price all those yrs ago, we must have had our 1st cars about the same time, I have a Vauxhall Chevette Hatchback, it was pale blue, nicknamed the pig... think my 1st ins was about £300, that was only 3rd party, fire and theft. The memories...... xx

Hi everyone,

You know the games section on chow, does that include computer games too? I've been on and had a look and the header does lead you to computer games but just wanted to double check.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Tooti

Congratulations Rufus, lovely news.

elysia2003

Ahhh Congrats Rufus. I hope Mum and Baby are doing well and that all is ok.

Tooti - I couldn't really tell you to be truthful. I did read lots of gaming reviews yesterday, but no more than usual, so I couldn't even guess one way or the other. (I wasn't an awful lot of use then was I?) :rotfl:

Mum2one - that's it - my parents wouldn't let me go third party, I had to save up and go fully comp, hence the high price. At that time every else I knew when third party too. It was the done thing then, but not now.

I've just checked Chow and I jumped up £4 yesterday - I could get used to this.
