i know most of you will say 'dont spend your points on shopping' but none of the deals usually appeal to me,

Er, sorry to be a bit predictable, but you're doing so well, don't blow it on your clubcard points!

If you really really don't want anything from the Deals website (and there's loads to choose from on there), then flog the vouchers on eBay - you still get far more for them than you do by spending the points in store!

HI, its a good post and a good starting point for you. ((((((((HUGS)))))))
try to take baby steps,small changes reap great rewards,big changes can mean crash and burn. So,be easy on yourself. It took me over a year to turn things around,but at leasyt I got there,previously I'd tried to eat the whole cake at once and got sickened. Do keep us posted about how you are doing,good or bad. Its brave of you to post, first step towards a better life. Well Done.

I don't really know I'm afraid, I've just seen them listed on there and thought it's a good idea. I've never actually done it myself (I like to save them up then take a weekend break somewhere flashy that I'd never be able to afford). You could always look at the Completed Listings and see which ones seem to sell best.

There are loads of vouchers on there too... Tesco must employ someone especially to spend all day every day writing to the sellers!

Thinking about it, given that I've never done it, before listing any vouchers perhaps you should check that selling them isn't also against the rules. I'd hate to advise you to do something that then gets you into trouble!

Good luck!

EDIT about some pizza express vouchers and tesco clubcard and ebay - im probably not allowed to say it, so iv edited it.
ooh iv got the ebay bug which im hoping will boost my FINANCES. iv listed 20 items tonight. and still got lots more to list. my CHILDREN better watch it as im planning on a big spring clean and will be selling anything not tied down lol.
im feeling oodles better about my HOME, its been messy for ages but i finally feel like im getting on top of it. i can get to the bottom of the laundry bin these days instead of not being able to reach the top of the mountain. love getting organised, im happier if i know where everything is. (did i mention my drill has been lost for months, its going to be a good day for shelving when i find it)
RELATIONSHIP hmm, dare i say its ever so slightly a bit improved - in so much as im seeing a bit of effort from the other side (that means no dirty boxer shorts on the bedroom (persian) carpet so far this week (it is persian persian))....fingers crossed....
today is my think WORK day, i walked into town and photocopied some of my certificates and sent them to a nanny agency, emailed my reference phone numbers to a couple of agencies as i promised and applied for a job on gumtree - a scam none-the-less, someone in another country trying to get my bank details promising £350 for 2 days work, im glad im savvy enough to see through the very poor grammer....
HEALTH is ok, im a bit tired but its full moon time soon and thats when i feel drained, SPIRITUALITY leveling out but i am going to start playing my didgeridoo again to benefit from the circular breathing (just call me Rolf) - its very deep meditation. FRIENDSHIPS all good, but im finding im not the only one too bloomin busy to do catch-ups - we are all in the same boat. but i did get out for (nearly free, just paid for a glass of wine) lunch with 3 friends today which was so utterly lovely, giggles are good soul food.
EDUCATION im planning my frst assignment due 24th march, 2000 words on 'Communication does not take place in a vacuum....' (is that why my henry hoover does not reply when i tell it it doesnt pick up as well as it used to? probably won't get any marks for that revelation).

Well done. :T

I know what you mean about feeling better when the house is tidier. When we were selling our house we did a massive declutter - we roped in my parents and my sister as well. We painted, and cleaned and replaced lino and taps and bath panel. My sister's loft was full of boxes of our stuff and it was great. Everyone felt brighter and better for it. Our house had never been like it - and the kids loved it!

We moved and most of the boxes that were in my sister's loft is now in our garage - yet we've managed to accumulate more and more 'stuff' in the house.

And dirty laundry - that is depressing! I want, want, want so much to catch up with mine.

why do we hoard stuff i wonder. im getting a ruthless attitude from now on, no shopping for stuff and everything unwanted must go. was it william morris who said 'have nothing in your homes that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful' so true
and go on, climb your laundry mountain, the airs much fresher at the top lol
