Thanks guys you are all very kind with me
The wire I used is 0.6mm diameter silver plated wire from Salix Associates (bought in hobbycraft for a couple of quid).
I cut about 4 inches off for each link and do a wrapped loop, have a look here they describe it really well, better than I could.

thanks Kandi, I think a trip to hobbycraft may be in order
will have a go at the wrapped loops as I have only been doing plain and simple ones so far! 0 -
Here is a larger pic of the bracelet so you can kind of see the wrapped loops easier:
I like the toggle clasp, but I can't remember where I bought it and would like some more, honestly, I am useless......
