The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread

jenjade

yes that is a good idea only i am not sure if you will get any back but if you have accounted for that then it should be good.

Nice to see you online not long now till christmas day. i bet we get £1 login bonus and double scratchcards on christmas day!!

I'll just keep my fingers crossed for now . I'm working christmas eve, boxing day & the day after, but that's my last day . I'm never working in a shop again lol. That said, on Friday I did get three of these http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=121312 , and with the 3 for 2 & my discount they worked out at only £12.90 each, so I suppose it does have perks. They are normally £60 for one & they've sold out so I'm glad I got in when I did.

We'd better get a £1 bonus and double scratches for christmas .

Nicky that's a really good idea about the jewellery. You do so well on Etsy you should definitely go for it. I would love to take mine more seriously but until dd2 is a bit older and we're not relying on tax credits for her nursery fees so much I'll have to stick to doing it for fun, but I can get all the practice in now.

Off to watch northern lights, see you all tomorrow

Thanks Yukki, I'm trying to wait for the exchange rate to get a bit better so I can order some supplies as I have lots of ideas I can't action at the moment. When I make some new bits I might post a few pics and you people can tell me if you think there might be a market for it. I'd really love to make jewellery for a living, I don't think I have the personality to do a normal job day in day out for years lol. Even being able to have a part time regular job would be a huge bonus.

hi Nicki- that's a good idea about the jewellery, if I were you I'd look into copyright though as shops could take your designs for themselves, I think you just have to write a phrase about the designs belonging to you or something? I may be being paranoid but I don't want you to get ripped off as your designs are brill . Just put a price list in with the items with your wholesale prices and/ or sale or return prices and a bit about you too. Also I would give the shops a followup call if u don't hear anything . In person would be best after a phone call. At least they would have already seen your jewellery so you have a head start. Good luck!!!

Thanks for mentioning that mm, I hadn't even thought about the copyright issue. I guess I have a lot to think about! I so want this http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/store/dix_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1112452533.1229894392@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccciadefmhdfkkecflgceggdhhmdfhk.0&page=Accessory&sku=768897 , my sister bought a new computer earlier, this one is £900 in the shops but I've got it down to £760 with discount codes. It's on pay £25 for 5 months then the balance at 0% on the 6th month, technically the tax I'll claim back could pay for half of it, but I'm still not going to do it. I so wish I could though, it's so lovely and it has freeview built in so I could stick it in my room and not even need a TV lol.

Yeah i have 15 watcher on the shoes still only on £1.04 though!

been so busy on dooyoo recently i am up to £37.62 thought hope to get to £50 by new years that would give me a lovely head start on the savings!
