    That's what I'm doing although I have taken it a step further and if we go to the Zoo etc then I get one from there too! I think it's a nice way to record all the things me and OH have got up to :).

    I also found a company on Ebay that do canvas prints from your pictures, once I am debt free I am going to choose some of my favourite pics from Cuba/Egypt and Ireland and get some done, my plan is that when we buy a house they will adorn our hallway :D

    That's a lovely idea Jody. It's nice to have your memories on display, I find I rarely get photo albums out to look at them.

    Good Morning world!

    Was hoping my endowment money would have been credited over the weekend as I know they got the form back early last week but no such luck unfortunately! Although I did forget that although technically I get paid on Monday, the funds show as available today because I bank with the same bank as my company! You have no idea the amount of times that has come in handy :rotfl:. My trainee even switched banks because of it ;). I need to work out all my DD's and transfer some money around.

    I noticed Thursday that my ironing pile seems to be multiplying so need to do that at some point! It's free listing weekend on Ebay this weekend so I might start loading stuff up on there as I need to start studying next weekend and be strict with myself which will leave me little time to faff about on fleabay. I am also going to buy another 2/3 Xmas presents this week and am planning on spending a max of £50. My little brother collects playing cards so I got him some in Irelad and will wrap them up for Xmas :D. Found out last night that daughter had bought herself the next pony club secrets book in the series - I'd already put it away for Xmas for her so I need to re-sell it, doh!

    I'm plannig to put loads of CD's on Ebay but I want to copy them to my portable hard drive first which might take some time, if they don't sell on Ebay then I might use Music Magpie as they are just stuffed in a box in my spare room at the moment!

    Hopefully I am working tomorrow night as well as I haven't heard otherwise so that should be another £50 :)

    Just did a £1.50 survey on VO, once they all update I will be able to claim another £10 amazon voucher so that helps towards Xmas :)

    What's VO surveys Jody? I do One Poll but they rarely come up now, it really pees me off as I'm stuck at about £26 and you have to get up to £40 grrr!

    I gave up on Onepoll ages ago, I think it takes the p1ss personally!

    you need to sign up at valuedopinions.co.uk, I get on average 5 a week I would say, obviously yoo don't qualify for all of them but I find I can normally do them in less than the time they think it will take. My next voucher will be my 5th one since May I think, you can claim a voucher when you reach £10 - they do Tesco, Amazon, Argos (I think). Worth checking it out :D.

    I have been a busy girl this afternoon! First of all I found the Quidco no/little spend cashback thread in the grabbit section so I did a few of those and 2 are already tracking. I took up the snapfish offer of 40 free prints (cost just 99p postage!) and fingers crossed I will get the £10 cash back. Then I started burning some cd's to the hard drive, I was going to Ebay them but it seemed so much hassle I took the easy option and am going to send them to Music Magpie, I will get just over £15 for about 30 cds :eek: but it does save all the hassle with posting/wrapping them I guess. Added bonus was that I found a £1 coin in my box of CDs :rotfl:.

    Then I started sorting though stuff for Ebay, have listed two car models, a new tax dsic holder and some records so far and need a break, it's so blinking long winded on there. I need to force myself to sell some clothes but I'll either do that later or tomorrow.

    Phew, this money making lark is hard work :o

    Hi Jody,
    THanks so much for mentioning that snapfish offer - DH and I had been talking about getting a load of our digital photos printed to decorate the hall and stairs, so I've just signed up for it :j Gone through Quidco too, so fingers crossed the cashback pays out:T

    It makes me so mad Jody, I've been doing One Poll since Jan, I'm seriously thinking about emailing them to complain!

    You have had a productive day, well done on the £15 from Music Magpie x
