I couldn't believe it. I bought a bottle years ago, it's for spraying plants and it cost less than a euro. I put a squirt of conditioner in it and top it up with water.

Some people think you have to spend big money to get the results (and a hairdresser told me the stuff she's buying is the same as what I'm doing anway!). So a way to save money and to stop kids with curly hair screaming (or at least not quite as loudly!).



Are you talking about 2phase? I love the smell of it but it's ridiculously priced! The salons make a fortune from products and the majority of salons give commission to stylists/improvers/even juniors for products sold so they will always push them on you! Still I love that 2phase lol, Kiara x

Hello Kiara my little pet, you caught me before going to bed. Long drive to the coldest town in Ireland (birr!) tomorrow. I don't know what it's called. But it's ridiculously priced when you think you can make up a litre of stuff for a couple of cent (one decent squirt of conditioner and water - which is free for now!) And it still smells good and it conditions your hair.
Anyway, night night jt. Sweet dreams.

I have actually bartered with people around the world, some of my own formulations of natural creams for something they can send me - exchange of energy :)

The idea of babysitting and pet sitting is a good one :)

rowing our own organic veg and fruit is in the pipeline this year.

Also I'm not sure where I read the idea of creating vouchers as gifts. My 18 year old niece had no money to buy gifts for her parents and siblings this Christmas so I suggested she create a book of vouchers for each of them.

She had the following in the voucher books she created:

For her mom:

Foot massage x 3 vouchers
Shoulder massage x 3 vouchers
Make over x 3 vouchers
House cleaning x 3 vouchers
Brother sitting x 3 vouchers
Car cleaning x 3 vouchers
Yard Cleaning x 3 vouchers

For her dad she had vouchers for Poo patrols, dish washing, cooking, car cleaning and so on.

For her brothers she has vouchers for cleaning their rooms, play time, football playing, story reading, and so on.

For her sister she had Girls afternoon, make overs, room cleaning and other similar promises.

The idea is they give her a voucher when they want to claim the offer.

When they visited me they were full of chat about the gifts she had given them and all agreed they were the best they had received :)

This idea can be used for birthdays also.


My teenage sister gave me a voucher for two free nights of babysitting for xmas, great idea! I hope I get another for my birthday :)

Hi Gillo, I do not own any credit cards myself, i do have a lazer card and a paypal account, but my partner also has a 3V card it works excatily the same as a credit card you just order it online on 3V.ie and they post it out to you within 5 working days normaly. All you do is whenever your buying anything via the internet you top this card up with the ammount you need and it gives u a ref no to print in where you normaly print in ur credit card number, expiary date ect... There is a small fee for this card though like any credit card, but the thing i find good about it is that you cannot over spend because you can only spend what you put on it, excatily like a lazer but you can use it for everything, well everything i've tried so far, like stuff on ebay, trips to england ect... You just top them up in most shops...
Hope this is off interest to you, regards Milly.

For those on very low incomes or totally dependant on social welfare, the Community Welfare Officer can offer help, in the form of an Exceptional Needs Payment for many different things. They can also help with grants for First Holy Communion and Confirmation expenses.

Family Income Supplement is a payment made to families on low incomes, where at least one spouse is in employment of 19 hours or more.

From January 2009, if you have: And your family income is less than:
One child €500
Two children €590
Three children €685
Four children €800
Five children €920
Six children €1,030

you would qualify for €60 FIS.

It's important to be aware, that no matter how little you may qualify for, you will still get a minimum of €20 each week.

If you are a single parent, you can claim an additional tax credit. If your child lives with your ex and spends only part of the week/weekend with you, you are still entitled to claim the allowance.


Hi Erica,
I just read your tread and am very interested to kow how this works my partner has no work at the minute so we are currently on bennifts, But he get his son from a previous relationship at the weekends, either friday till saturday or saturday till sunday. He pays maintenance of 60 euro a week and as i said were on bennifts so were struggling to make the payments each week but have to as its court order. So does this mean he can claim for his son too?

If 60euro was court ordered when he was employed he can appeal it now that he's not, kiara x

Hi Kiara
Yes it was ordered when he was working, Don't get me wrong i belive everybody should pay for there kids i'm not saying anything like that but if your struggling to keep your head above water there should be some leyway...
He is in the process of trying to come to an agreement because neither of them want or need the hassle of going back to the courts.(but they can't agree on anything) So looks like there will be a trip back and soon. Milly.

I couldn't find it at the bottom of the page until I went into the link to "verify". So was it hard to install and does your car run more smoothly? Just one other thing, if the company is in Fermanagh why was there an Irish postmark on it?

That's the same company that's selling through the link that glowmama put up. I wonder why the difference in price?

Paper briquettes
 
Don't forget the thread on paper briquettes. If you search for it on the first page you should find it. I haven't done it yet but I fully intend to start soon. I have an old clothes horse that's warped which I'll be putting over the bath and that should give me loads of room to make a good few. And please don't put up links to the sale of the paper-briquette makers on ebay. The above-mentioned thread tells you how to make them without machines.
Also, the thread on natural cleaning products. I'm still using a few bottles of detergent/cleaning fluids/polishes that are in my press but once they're gone they won't be replaced. Cleaning my range & electric cooker has never been so easy. Plaster on the bread soda & washing up liquid paste, leave it for 10 minutes and BRUSH IT OFF - don't wash it off or you'll be there all day. No elbow grease involved & they come up shining. And a lot cheaper. I'll certainly be needing all these tips now after the hammering we've taken today. I'll be losing between €60 - €70 p.w. thank to Cowen and his p****s. I can't understand how someone earning 8.5 times my salary is only paying 1.5 times the levy that's being put on me though. P****d off as hell so not staying on long guys. So mad and don't know how the hell I'm gonna make ends meet. It's been tough enough lately but it's just gonna be impossible after that slap in the face.

A better option is to go for Wirecard. It is a pre paid credit card and it has no limits, you can get the online verson free of charge or get the proper plastic card for I believe 25 euro and you have it in 5 - 10 working days.

I couldnt keep up with what Cowen was saying today as he moved so swiftly from one topic to another. I couldn't keep up with him so don't know how much it will effect me. Guess it will be in the papers tomorrow

I've just got one of these cards, the limit on what you can top up at any one time is 350euro, I wasn't aware of an annual limit though, please enlighten me before I shop myself into financial crisis! :) Kiara xxx

It's €2500 per annum now. I've just looked up the website. So unless you're a shopaholic it won't bother you (hopefully) but you'd best be careful that you don't become "flush" all of a sudden and buy a few big things. Although sites like this will hopefully prevent us all doing that too often.

Hi Kiara,
As far as i know that just means you are only allowed to top up the pre paid card with 350euro at one time in the shops, it does not mean you are going to be charged that to use the card...
The charges are paid in the shop when you top up.
I think the least you can top up with at any one time is 40euro and i think the charge for this is 2.50cent mabey 5.00 not too sure but can ask partner...
Any shop that tops up 3V cards are able to tell you whats the least and max ammounts are for topping up ur card at any one time and what the charges are...
I hope this is of some help, Milly

rossadrehid 05-02-2009 09:38 PM

cascais on tipping
 
If u ever get to new york they will put manners on u.
the staff in restaurants, bars etc just get paid a basic not like the basic here more like $5 so need tips to live on its the system . it makes good workers and good service so if u do not tip it means (the poor staff who work flat out) u are telling them they are useless.

kiara 06-02-2009 10:16 AM

Hi guys, thanks for that, I haven't actually topped it up yet and I saw that I can transfer money directly from my bank account to paypal, that might be a better option? x

Betsy...did you say you can get cheap flights????

I don't have broadband where I live - no surprise - but I am looking to travel to Asia in Oct...and its taking me ages to go through the sites.

...any hints or useful website to get CHEAP FLIGHTS???

Love all you ideas.

Thanks

jenniferalan 06-02-2009 01:55 PM

hi chakes, try www.lastminute.com and click the button "flights only"

Cheap Flights
 
Try Ethiad Airlines directly also - they seem to normally have some very good deals. IF your own internet connection is very slow nip into the local library - they all have broadband and you can get loads done in an hour. Then you can always go back later once you have the details gathered and have made your final decision.

Wish I was going to Asia !

take a flask to work cassias and keep it in your drawer?

I used to be PA and I held the keys to all the posh executive suits and I would be sipping a hot chocolate and latte most of the day!!

I especially loved the English breakfast tea.. I still buy earl grey as it is the best tea.. it is gorgeous.. but the breakfast one was great during pregnancy..!

I also took over managing the book people orders when one of the office girls left.. and for every 10 books you would get a free book!! I had 3 books one christmas!!
I thought in advance and got 2, for at the time by bump, but she is getting the enjoyment from them now!

Not many perks these days..

I cannot cut back on food shopping as I try and buy organic. but I might try and grow some of my own veg this year and little one can see her veg grow too! peas etc are great!

I have also started to cheat and I am taking a risk, but wool washing things that are dry clean only.. not suits of course.

But only last week I rammed my goose duck down duvet into the washing machine on a wool wash.. loads of fabric conditioner.. gave it a big shake outside and hung it over the airer and it has came up a treat.. beats paying dry cleaners 40e+!!

But not recommended if your favourite item!!

I've been doing that for years with a lot of dry-clean only stuff. I wouldn't do a suit or any wool tailored item because one never knows what the linings/interlinings are made of. But I have a coat I wash in the washer every so often - it's synthetic but says dry clean only. And I wash woollen jumpers by hand in the kitchen sink in warm water with shampoo or with washing up liquid. Then I rinse them, squeeze out the excess water, roll them up in a towel and air dry.

I wash bed pillows in the washer too. They're better off dried in a dryer though, I think. They can take a long time to dry otherwise.

Companies put dry clean only on tags so that if u wash it they are not liable.
IF IT IS 100% COTTON U CAN ABUSE IT.
OTHERWISE GENTLY DOES IT,

jenniferalan 22-02-2009 11:43 PM

anyone got any other tips they can share? If u know a lot of neighbours, u could all chip in together as a group and buy say 1000L of oil each saving u a lot of money as it is buying in bulk and they will give u a discount.

For eg: our neighbour organises this once a yr, he typically gets about 20 people to join and everyone has to get same amount - 1000L. He then rings around oil companies to get the best quote. Typically every household saves 100euro and the person who organises the whole thing could get their oil for free. Great idea!

Haggle and save.......
 
Anyone ever hear of haggling. I did this with my car insurance and saved €200! I would never in a million years do this b4, but I was so glad I did. Here's how I did it. My insurance company sent me a renewal as my insurance was up, so I went on the internet to get a few quotes. I emailed my insurance company and gave them the lowest quote I got. I then rang them a few days later and they told me that they couldnt match the quote I got and gave it to me for €xxx which was €200 less than what they originally wanted. So there you are, it was as easy as that!!

One way you can cut costs is stop buying foreign magazines and just buy our own Irish produced Prudence Magazine. Better than anything produced abroad and jam packed with great ideas for a great lifestyle without breaking the bank. This month's issue has a feature on how to have a wonderful wedding on a budget and loads of ideas for having a great night "out" -in!

I am not connected to this magazine except as a reader. I just love it and have not bought any other mag since discovering it. You will love it -guaranteed! Oh, and the price is very reasonable too!

1: TESCO - as in their motto every little helps and it sure does - Tesco have a motto that if when you purchase something at the til and then realise on your receipt that you paid more than it said on the shelf or special offer sign(even 1c more) then they will refund you the full amount and give you the item/s free. eg if you go in tesco and see a bottle of wine,on the shelf it says 9.99 for this exact bottle so you buy it and then AFTER you have paid for it check your receipt and it says 10 euro for the wine,take it to customer services and you get a FULL refund AND the wine aswel :) happy days. tobe honest i use this alot.in the last 6 months i have got full refunds and the item free on the following items to name a few : A lexmark wireless printer (it was supposed to be 89.99),vacuum,beans,coffee,hot chocolate,soup,clothes,underwear,dvds,ps2 games,cds,perfume,toilet rolls,chicken fillets,ham,pork plus many many more

2:TESCO yet again (tesco's will ban me soon,lol)- clubcard points - if you dont already have a clubcard get one,also sign up for tesco wine club and babyclub and finest food club,yeah you might not drink or have a baby but some of the vouchers they send are great,i got the baby club vouchers through and there were general vouchers on them,spend 40 euro and save 5 euro or spend 20 euro and get 1000 clubcard points all these on the baby vouchers :)

3: TESCO When you get your tesco club card vouchers through dont spend them in tesco,they can be used for so much more.recently i went to the UK with my partner,2 kids and took the car aswel and all it cost me was 2 euro,yes 2 euro.how I did it - i had 4500 tesco point (most acheived with the free vouchers i got through in baby club statement and wine club and i dont drink),i saved it because there valid for 2 years,3 months later another 4000 points,equivalent to 85 euro to spend in tesco BUT i got 4 times that amount if i used them for stenna line so i had a total of 340 euro to spend at stenaline.it cost me 342 euro t take us all and car to UK - bargain :)

4: THE INTERNET Anything that i cant get free or cheap in tesco I buy on the internet. I can get flights all around the world for as little as 2 CENT return :) you can get a discount code for almost everything just search on any search engine for discount codes for whatever,say if you wat to buy flowers from interflora put in discount codes for interflora and hey presto.I recently sent a bunch of 40 red roses to my mother in law in england,i found discount codes and i sent - 40 red roses in a glass vase,teddy bear,chocolates and free delivery for wait for it - 6.99 euro.

i have many more trade secrets so keep checking, Im gonna try out some of the other money saving tips aswel,oh and i only have a regular bank account,no laser or visa card,no credit cards just a paypal account and thats all you need - costs nothing
:)



I'm gobsmacked...that's just amazing....will you come shopping with me and teach me all your tricks!

Hi Betty

I would love to know more about the stena tesco thing

I save my points up for christmas, and I am going to the uk in the summer.

I would love some info on this..

Also my car insurance is due up soon.. Existing company quoted me more than I am currently paying???
they want 1,170e?

not paying that!!! I was paying less as a prov driver 3 years ago!!

so rang around and got the best deal from esure, for 400e!!

Seeing as glowmama never got back to us on any benefits she (I presume you're a she!) saw I decided to do some checking online and this is what I found:
