Another Tesco Voucher option is selling them on ebay for double the money. There seems to be a way of selling them that keeps within the rules ???. I've contemplated dabbling here but have a local Cineworld and Pizza Express that usually gobble mine up.

I've got £227.00 worth coming to me from this last quarter so I'm looking to convert that into 4 nights in Barcelona, with the family, in a Barcelo Hotel, through the double airmiles offer . Enjoy them. Airmiles offer is until the 21st March. Also the OU offer seems good too.

Agree with hypno's sentiments for today x.

I've just sold one of those items on ebay that I bought and thought I'd get stuck with so am pleased about that (only 9 more to go ). It does mean that when I sorted the figures out at the weekend I forgot this money was owed into my current account and I managed to balance the figures without it, it means the money can go straight into the £10 a day pot, so thats £6 extra in there tonight

Thankyou all for your kind wishes, it was a funny old day really; the service was lovely, very simple but nice. Then we all went back to my aunts afterwards and that was nice, well as nice as these things ever are, but it was nice to see some relatives that I haven't seen since my childhood. All was fine until about 5pm when it all got too much for Grandad and for the first time he broke down That set my aunt and my dad off and it was really tough seeing the older generation of the family really struggling I'm quite exhausted from it all now really and am looking forward to an early night. On top of that ds didn't have a good day at school today, for the first itme since he's been in y2 his teacher wrote in his book to say he'd hit someones hand with a ruler and refused to do his maths for 45 minutes We talked about it tonight and he's written her a letter to say sorry. Didn't really need that as well today but hey ho

He's off to bed in a minute and then I will have a bath with a large glass of Baileys before I todle off to bed. I didn't sleep very well last night, I'd almost got to sleep then someone called me on my mobile. I didn't answer it in time and it was a withheld number so I lay awake for ages worrying in case it was important, but they never called back so I'm guessing it wasn't

ON a lighter note, I sold another of the ebay items again today

Sorry to hear about your ds' day - could it have been due to the funeral? Kids have a knack of knowing what's going on - might have been his way of 'dealing' with it.

I think it could have been Dangers, I think its a few things; he's been at his dads for 2 weekends in a row (because he didn't go when it snowed), and god knows what time he went to bed but he was exhausted when he came home. Ex insists of course he was asleep at 7pm ... I think the funeral threw him a bit too as he didn't go to breakfast club today as I took him in instead, so that was a change in his routine (which he doesn't cope well with). Also he has been off his food for a day or two and tonight has a chesty cough, so maybe he's coming down with something and again his behaviour goes to pot when he's feeling off colour ... I will pop in and see his teacher tomorrow after school
