    Morning all,

    Login bonuses today so i withdrew £21.30 from scratch cards yay!

    I did get that £10 back MM your right but i can't play bingo it won't load. I want to win my thousands back! I am hoping it plays the bonus first and not my cash otherwise will then have to deposit another £10 to start the scratch cards first!

    Quite impressed with Tesco too, got all the £490 deals vouchers i ordered at 1am Tuesday morning today, just waiting on the extra £10 worth i had to order as only did that this morning , i have emailed the buyer to update them being the nice person i am.
    Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month

    That was quick of Tesco Lilmiss.
    You've got me wondering if i should do the same with my tesco vouchers now! There's no deals i want myself apart from Goldsmiths. I was collecting them for our wedding rings but since we want our house first and not rushing to get wed the cash would come in very handy!

    Ooh, that's exciting Jen :). Morning everyone, I'll say happy new year now as I doubt I'll be on for a while.

    I've withdrawn £10 because of the login bonus today, and someone contacted me on etsy asking to buy this necklace http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m142/False_desire/8-10-08054.jpg . It isn't perfect because the flower is slightly off the middle of the brass disc due to the shape of the flower & where the holes in the disc are. I've offered them it at a discount so I'll see what happens.
    Finally bought a home

    Why is my house such a tip? I feel like I have been cleaning it all morning on and off and it doesn;t look any different.

    That's a lovely necklace Nicki you're very talented. None of my jewellery seems to be selling at the mo.
