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

Back from Mr T. Got some good bargains on wrapping paper and cards and crackers for next year so I am feeling really happy with that as I thought I may be too late already. I also made the kids happy by buying them a pair of welly socks each. Small things eh?

elysia just routine stuff with the appointment, nothing to worry about, I was just glad I got round to doing all my phonecall jobs this morning.

Need to work out what I spent on cards and wrap, so I can make sure I keep track of if I am neutral in 2012 or not.

I'm definitely up for the ebay challenge :j
I've got two big boxes of stuff for ebay, and some more cupboards to clear out.

Done a couple of short surveys today, but have been updating my spreadsheet for last year

Hi Everyone I am new to this but up for a challenge in 2012. I will get the spreadsheet and get organised this weekend and will see what I have that might go on ebay.

I have a lot of reading to do on this but thanks for all the great ideas.

grrrrr needed 2.60 on viva just completed 2 nv and then went on to the web sourcing ones where i managed to complete one got excited went to withdraw balance did not upadte so went to faqs and found this Please note that SSI (Web Sourcing) Surveys are no longer updated in real
-time. To ensure accuracy your balance will be updated weekly on Tuesday morning.

I know it will make no diff as they do payment runs at the end of the month but so close just wanted to put in for redeem anyone know how long it has been like this not been on for a week but it must be fairly new xx

I redeemed just before Christmas, and saw the message then.
I've only done 2 web source ones, neither credited so I don't bother anymore

I was just wondering whether any of you are on Tesco Mobile? I am still looking for a new deal for my phone. They have quite a good one if I can get a sim only contract, I went online to chat to an O2 rep who I am with at the moment and he was saying they use the o2 network but was trying to convince me I wouldnt get as good as coverage or customer service as if I was on o2. It would cost me quite a bit more per month though to stay with them and have the allowances that tesco are offering.

Hiya -

I switched from Virgin to GiffGaff a few months back, they use the O2 network and are very good value. I have my own phone and pay £5 per month for one of their goodybags. I use HokeyCokey which is texts and mins. DS has a different one which includes data as well as texts and mins for £10/month. DD has HokeyCokey like me for £5 and texts and calls between us GiffGaff users are all free! When OHs contract is up he will switch to GiffGaff as well, easily done whilst keeping your own number.

Am happy to refer, we would both get £5 once you activate your GiffGaff sim. If anyone is interested, drop me a PM and check out the GiffGaff website in the meantime, it is a bit different, very good value :D:D.
