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

I've bought myself a new laptop today, and also a new keyboard and mouse for the main PC. I have been wanting a laptop for a while, and by freeing up the home PC by getting the laptop, the kids will be able to the home PC now they are getting bigger. It was £329, but my aunty gave us money for Christmas, and I have all my money I am making. I figure it will be worth it.

Best motivate myself now to do some reviews to pay the CC bill.

So far I have just been rating today, and doing a big audit of what food we have in so I can cut back on spending somewhere in the budget. My pantry is embarassingly full of bread mixes, and pulses, so I do need to use some of it up.

i have loads of breadmix too had coupons hehe.

i had some ciabatta ones and i made them up and they are sitting the the freezer for when we have soup for lunches etc.

is it me or is DooU really quiet for ratings today? x

hello - i've turns to do today but can't motivate myself. Might have a quick nap and see if that helps. Dad was round and playing round with my sky only to find that despite canx my hd they have been charging me for it - it annoys me that they do not compensate you for phone calls etc to rectify things as it is them in the wrong and not me. [sorry for the rant]

anyway i have just found that i have a dooyoo account so just done a review on rio that we watched but how do i get a circle of friends and other than writing reviews is there anyway to boost points?

Does anyone want to refer me to M*ndmover?

Mindmover- there is a section in your account to invite friends but I can't see any mention of a referral scheme (can anyone confirm or deny this). Just got 50 points for completing the profile plus section on there. Don't know if this is new or I just didn't get round to doing it when I joined the site (thought I'd mention it incase there are others like me).

Claimed my first voucher of the year from RewardTV. :j

Joined *pini*n *utp*st - o is the missing letter - yesterday and had an invitiation to join Pin*con* today. I am already a member but for others who are not it may be a good idea to join the first one and see if the same invitation comes.

I also had the same £5 survey and it says it can be forwarded to others so if anyone is between 20 and 64 and buys cereal and has not had the 3D shopping survey if you let me have your e mail address I will forward it

Hi all
Been for a lovely walk with OH and LO but good grief it was cold!
Home now and OH trying to fix my laptop as Pip spilled my coffee in it this morning, hoping it will fix as I am using his and its carp! Mouse has a mind of its own!

Despite wayward mice I managed to list a few bits on Ebay and also a couple on Amazon so fingers crossed the sell. Loving my new sites especially SB and R*wardTV. No surveys today from anyone so far though.

Id like to know about claiming voucher on RTV too as it seems pot luck.

Hi All

As a very skint Newly Wed, I wonder if you'd mind me joining your group?

I would greatly appreciate the spreadsheet if possible?

and if anybody wants to send me any links, i'll happily join up, and any advice or helpful tips would be greatly appreciated!

I am just about to start with the planning - whom to buy for and when - and then at least I know what i'm working towards!!

Thanks, and I hope that everybody had a great xmas and I wish you all a happy, healthy and proserous 2012
