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
Wicked Jules! I'm really glad it helped. I got some prints os Cuba, Ireland and Egypt as I found a blank photo album in my spare room yesterday so they can go in there. I figured that even if I don't get the cashback I only paid 99p for 40 photos which isn't bad at all

That's a shame! I always do them on the pc, much easier to navigate that way. They have changed the site slightly now too, you used to only be able to do the survey from the email link but now, if you log in, all the surveys available to you are listed there which makes life a bit easier.
Already have a couple of bids on Ebay which is a good start, sure I can find a few more bits to go on today as well. I did my nails last night which seemed to take FOREVER, I just can't get on with the little nail tip guides, the white polish kept running underneath them and then taking forever to dry :mad:. They aren't too bad for a first attempt and it's much cheaper than the £25 I used to pay to get them done properly :cool:.
I out some washing on last night but forgot to get it out so having to re-wash it this morning, oops! Didn't get round to doing that ironing either, I blame all the ebaying! Think the next few weeks at work are going to be interesting to say the least, it's our year end on 31st Oct and it's always an absolute nightmare so I expect it's going to be Xmas before I know it!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend x

Just had an interesting chat with the girl who normally does Sunday night at the pub with me. She has also had the whole 'pub isn't making any money' stuff with the landlady. We are both on the rota tonight so it looks like I still have a job for the time being!
I can see my Saturday night being dropped or cut right down but as the landlady NEVER bothers to tell me anything I probably wont find out until next week! For now, I am going to play dumb and just turn up whenever I am on the rota, that way she can't say I knew otherwise :rotfl:. Hoping I can least hold the job till Xmas as that will put me in much better stead for hitting my debt free date

Will things pick up a bit as Christmas approaches anyway Jody?

I think it will get quieter towards Xmas to be honest, during the summer it was busy because it has a nice garden so people would come down with the family. Now it's colder they prefer to stay at home!
Just done a swift present shop...
Some aftershave for OH, bargain price of £11.30, free delivery and 6% cashback comingand an Ipod docking station for my brother (going halves with my mum) for £59.97 with free delivery and 3% cashback.
I'm getting good at this bargain hunting stuff :T

I've been looking on line for the last hour for inspiration! Do you know any nice silver jewellry websites?LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

I don't I'm afraid hun! Silver brings me up in a bit of a rash
, Next used to do nice jewellery but I think it was SS not Silver!
I did work last night, it's crazy - there was 2 of us working with no band on, what was the point of that?! Ah well, that's £55 in my pocket for now. Our sky box stopped working last night :mad:, it looks like it might be a problem with the actual satellite rather than our box so I will have to speak to them later but I WONT be paying a call out charge, that's for sure!
Quidco is already tracking my cash back on Xmas purchases, just waiting for the Snapfish offer to show up. Keep fingers crossed I get mt endowment money soon, got another £9 to claim from work today and brought my £20 of change in to get it paid in, all moving in the right direction

That is crazy, but let's hope it continues for now!
Grrr to Sky, hope you get it sorted, do they charge a call out fee usually then?
I'm catching up on my Iphone today to try and stay off the work internet a bit, but it takes so much longer this way!LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

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 hallwayThat'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.
I recently had one I took in Africa blown up to about 60cm by 90cm to fit a frame I had. Had it done at work so was only £7 as well - very MSE!
It is lovely to have photos you have taken up - reminds you of the things you have done and then it's individual to your house too xDebt at LBM Apr 2010 £28,767 Debt free as of Nov 2013 :j0 -
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!
Could be making this up but do I remember you saying you have an iphone Woo?
Just I saw on the Up your Income board that there is an iphone app for onepoll and that they thought they had more surveys since they signed up for itDebt at LBM Apr 2010 £28,767 Debt free as of Nov 2013 :j0
