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

Just about to call it a night. Another 4 reviews gone on today. 3 of those were first reviews.

It is exhausting keeping up isn't it. I agree more rates going out than coming back, but it is so hard to keep track of. I'm just hoping it will work out ok overall. Good karma and all that, and there are some people I am just skipping by altogether as I know they aren't rating anyone. I don't mind if you know they are just like us, busy, but rating what they can, but some people rate no-one and get away with it.

I tried to do a £3 nvl survey but got screened out, but not done any surveys apart from pc all month.

DH wrote some christmas cards out for me today - the first time ever in the years we have lived together, as he can see how strained I am.

Slowly getting there, but I might not have much pizzazz left for January.

Claire thought C promo might get you back. I think you need to keep posting hon, just to clear your chest. We've all been there with worry about our kids for one thing or another. We'll always be here whenever you want to chat. Take care xx

savvy - must check out your blog when I get a minute. I need to look at Rufus's too to see if her chairs are on there. The sofa was fab.

Anyway, night all, for tomorrow we need to do it all again. :eek: But there might be a sweetener of a crown or two.

Thanks Mum2one for the list - handy to know, but I'm not buying anything else. My new mantra - I am not buying anything else. I am not buying anything else. :rotfl:

I hope you get a couple of crowns again Michelle. I wouldn't mind just a little one. That'd do me - I've posted two Chow ones over, but haven't caught up with my reviews there yet. Concentrating on Chow atm.

Another one giving probably four rates, to one recieved, but at least I'm keeping on top of them. I suggested another couple last night, so I'm doing great at sticking to two a day. Any more than two though and I might just burn myself out, and not make it to the end of the promotion.

Michelle - you're new review is on the latest review list - but I can't access it - nor I presume can anyone else, as it's got no rates. I'll be sure to rate it when I get back. Going out with OH as it's day off.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments it lovely to hear some encouraging words.

Thanks Stressedmum I feel for you taking all that time to get somewhere. I know his development is slow it has been all along he didn’t sit up to 9mnths, he walked at 18mnths and said his first word at 2 ‘bye’ he is now 2yrs 3mnths and can say four words. I feel for him as he is getting mad with his lack of communication. Just hope we can get past these assessments.

Wow your all going for it with this C promotion. I am managing a review a day which is more than I ever do so happy with that. Well done everyone.

Mum2one thanks for those dates

Busy day today nan to take to post office this morning, a few things to do whilst im there and then family round this afternoon. Have a great day everyone. Will try and keep up with posting when I can.

Michelle, I havent put any photos of my chairs on my blog yet. I was waiting until I have finished them and then write about the whole thing. Hopefully it will be sometime this evening as I am going to make a start in a bit.

Savvy, I had a look at your blog, lovely makes. I have followed you now so I can see when you add anything else.

I had another couple of surveys this morning, updated my spreadsheet and a few of the amounts had changed from the other day. C is now 50p off £30 and I added one this morning so very pleased with that. I have another I can put on tomorrow morning, not sure how many others but I can probs get round to writing some if I get time.

No other plans today except to try to finish off the chairs and get the dining room sorted out. I think that's enough for one day anyway. I asked OH to help me get some staples out yesterday but he had much too much to do, was walking around with a duster and can of polish all afternoon lol. Then has the cheek to say in a sarcastic voice that I (that's me) have had a hard day seeing as I was sitting down getting the staples out. I knew he wouldnt help, too much like man's work lol.

Morning guys.

Tired this morning. At least the sun is out to keep me going a bit. Thanks for letting me know about that review. 3 have gone on for me this morning. I just assumed no-one rated it as they all went on together. I just sent them a message.

Must get back into blogging in the new year. I used to love it. I never seem to have time anymore.

Claire - Keep on at them, you know him better than anyone!
All these school and nursery plays sound fun, well done everyones little ones!

Had a shock in the post today, blimin car tax is due end of the month, I somehow managed to think it was March and have been budgetting for then... bloody typical! It has made me get my bum in gear and write a couple more reviews though... defo going to give writing a miss for a couple of months after this month!

Oh no. Mine's due too month end, and is £190, plus I need £195 for house insurance in January. I hate all of it falling together. It is certainly motivating.

I am loving the stories from the plays. I can't wait for my two's on Thursday.
