~*~ Thrifty Gifty Moneysaving Thread for Christmas and all Occasions 2012 ~*~

Elysia it was a focus group from a company that cannot be named on here. I am a mystery shopper and they got my details from there. It was a discussion about waste! We had to talk about the bin collections, recycling, dumps and ways that these could be improved. Was really easy and £35 for an hours 'work' was really tough!

My computer has just had a huge malfunction and I have lost all my emails which is a real pain as I had some mystery shops there that I now need to find.

Not having much luck on SP and I do not know how to find friends?

Going to watch some vids on SB.

Signed up for handcream and wipes, thanks again Clairos.

Elysia - have you checked out the Supersonic Vids on SwagBucks? They disappear once you have watched them but do seem to regenerate again. Nice little earner at the mo. Just hit the mouse every 5 mins when I walk past . BTW is there any more to the whole SuperPoints thing, or do you just need lots of referrals to make it worth it? Does it help just knowing people, or is it only beneficial once you have referred them? Sorry for all the Qs...

Hi I keep getting screened out of all my surveys so not really getting much as I'm not on dooyoo or chow at the mo!! Trying to do sb but the vids make my comp go slow and have rated every vid on max so not much I can do on there I sold one item out of 5 on eBay but will try agen soon!! Been doing polls on tol but get screened out of surveys!! So I'm not having much look at the moment! Also what's sp please? And how do you find the supersonic vids on sb?

errm - I've been rating on DY & chow more-or-less since I finished work & only just noticed the crown! Really excited! Congratulations to jam too!

I don't think I'm going to get much more done tonight as I'm shattered after a bad night's sleep. Ended up on the futon with only a fleecy throw over me & woke up freezing cold. Though I might have a hot bath to see if I can review some of the toiletries I got for Christmas!

Didn't you see my message Well preserved? I sent it at lunchtime when doou mailed to tell me - mind you with all these funny goings on, it might have got lost in the system somewhere.

Awww - I hope you have a relaxing soak, and get an early night.

Kay - January is always slow. Don't give up - you'll see, it will all be ok, you've just got to persevere.

Emma - well done on the SB redeem.

Argh new laptop charger has come and it doesn't charge!
I've emailed them to see if they will accept back for a refund.
Had a result with Dotty P today, they have FINALLY agreed to refund me for the dress I sent back to them at the beginning of December, its only taken 6 weeks and numerous emails.
Also had an email back from Next for the mess up they made last week on my orders - I am now waiting on another email back from them letting me know what they are going to do to make me happy again
No money making again for me today - although I have sold another item on FB, I have to meet a lady tomorrow to pass on some other things sold, so more cash in my pocket :-)

Legend - I have some vouchers for you for the Sun hols, pm me your addy hun and I will get them in the post for you.

I've got 2 ebay items to post tomorrow, a load of washing to do and ironing also, its going to be a busy day!
Want to try and get all my cleaning done too, so that I can spend Friday revising.
Paddy P still hasn't tracked so I have opened a ticket against them on TCB. Makes me think twice about using them - I find Q so much easier to navigate around :-(

Right - going to wrap the ebay items up now and make kids pack up for tomorrow

Kayandy - Sp is superpoints. It is a new one for most of us. You earn points by spinning the spinner on the site and watching vids. Tend to do better if you have people join up through your own referral link. Let me know if you want to be referred to the site. Think Michelle is doing quite well on it at the mo.
