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

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.LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

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. 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!LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

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.
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

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:TLittle monkey born November 2012:jFroglet due March 20160 -
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 xLBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)
