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!

I have converted mine into Goldsmiths for my buyer.

If your going to sell do it quickly as the vouchers come with more details on all the time, the goldsmiths only have a surname on at the minute but i made my buyer aware of this and looking at his feedback hes already brought deals/goldsmiths vouchers.

I was going to save them for 2010 but TBH i don't know if they will have holidays etc on them by the way things are going and its getting harder and harder to get points, i only manage it thanks to my clubcard plus.

I will probably start saving them again next year, i have about £90 worth to get end of Jan anyway.

Thanks mm, I did buy some swarovski pearls but I didn't use them to make that necklace. This might actually be useful for you and/or Yukki if you're making jewellery for Jen's challenge. I bought those glass pearls in primark for *gasp* £1.50. They come on pretty long strands too, so I got loads for my money, I was so happy when I found them. I bought a couple of strands back in October, but they still had them last week so I bought another four.

Blimey-bargain!!! hmmm might be worth a look for ebay selling, can't use them in my wedding jewellery as its advertised as swarovski pearls

Wow that is a bargain Nicki. I just have a few job lots on Ebay to see wat happens, but at the moment nothing is lol.

I have printed off dd2's thankyu cards, now just to let her loose with pens this afternoon after her sleep to get them done.

I also have to sort the pile of washing on my bed.

Instead of going around the house finding things to ebay I keep finding things to write reviews on - not quite the idea lol.

I've never had to return anything to Amazon sorry Jen.

Have written one review so am still one ahead for tomorrow. Need to do some more reading though, also want to sort through DD2's toys they are making my lounge look a complete state, she has too many.

I have signed up to quite a few challenges over the last couple of days. I know some will link in with others but even so perhaps I should stop now lol

- make £10 a day
- start with £10
- £1000 in 100 days

jenjade

i have been doing the make £1k in 100days and the make £10 a day they make the same amout though to that should be okay. £1K divide 100 days + £10 a day. i like to do both for idea though!!
