    I am worried about all these people finding jobs. I know a lot of people have said if they are good at there job they will find another one easy but there aren't really any retail jobs for them to find!

    It probably was Rosebys in my town then, I'm pretty sure it cloased around that time. I do kind of regret having a gap year now, though if I hadn't I'd probably have gone crazy and dropped out of uni so it's a bit catch 22.

    I will panic if you vanish!

    I am sitting here trying to get some enthusiasm to put some stuff on eBay.

    I keep debating whether to sell my tesco vouchers or not but seems most of them come with names on now, i have £496 worth of deals so could make £250 from them on eBay.

    If i keep them by next quarter i will have £576 but not enough for a holiday abroad and wanting funds towards Australia.

    thats a hard one sometimes you have to get the actual deals for the other person.

    Could you use them for a weekend away? it is a long time without a holiday till you go to aussie

    Yes i would need to convert them to deals but thats ok.

    I had a look at the hotels on deals and all fairly expensive.

    I could keep saving them until end of next year but with the way tesco points are going i am not sure if they will still have holidays on deals then. I wasn't that impressed when i went with one of the companies this year.

    Really not sure what to do as selling them would give me money towards a quarter of one ticket to Australia. :o
