That is so lovely of NIM! What a nice thoughtful present. I love Pandora bracelets.
Good luck with the ebaying etc today.0 -
aw wow Dinah thats cute! I'm amazed at the amount of mystery shopping that NIM does too!! There must be loads near you and he does well to get the jobs!
Hope all the listing oes well today!0 -
I think we're lucky to live in the middle of 3 decent sized towns, so he can do all of them. There are still 3 charm shops in the area, but Monday-Friday ones, so I've applied for those as he can't get out in those hours and hopefully I can pick up a few more nice bits for my bracelet.
He also has petrol stations, builders shops and supermarkets today, lots of things we need and being paid to get it, fantastic.
Ebay have blocked me from listing as I haven't been dispatching quickly enough. They say I can't list until this rating improves... not sure how to do this without listing!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Aww lovely Pandora, this is what I want as a 'surprise' 40th birthday present from my hubby!!!

I have to say, since I bought the missus the bracelet I'm noticing the jewellery more, theres at least 3 women who work in the call centre who have a piece.
Also 26 mystery shops in a weekend is an endurance test even for me. I'm knackered. Anyone do anything interesting over the weekend?This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.:j:j:j:j0 -
You deserve a medal for all of that shopping NIM, I don't think I can go into that many shops when I'm not being paid for it! Hope you get well paid for it all!
The bracelet was a lovely gift too. I've got a charm bracelet and I love it, I know where all of the charms were bought and when, the only problem is that its full now so some of the links are having to hold 2 charms!
My weekend was busy but nice, went to a BBQ on Saturday to see our friend who is visiting from Scotland and to gush over his fiancee's massive engagement ring LOL! Yesterday my family came through and we went for a late lunch at an Indian buffet which was really good. OH was so lovely, he'd warned me that he couldn't afford lots of birthday presents but he got me a really fancy pop-up Harry Potter book to get us in the mood for Orlando (and because we're just Potter nerds...), a Soap & Glory concealer because he liked the name and it kind of matched his little magic theme ('Trick and Treatment' LOL) and a printer! I've wanted a printer for ages as my little photo printer died a while ago and I can't get away with printing my crafty stuff off at work now. I feel a bit geeky for getting so excited about it but it'll make such a difference to my scrapbooking; I can print off photos as and when I want them and all of the backing papers and tags etc to go with it, no more trekking to Boots to print the photos then going to my parents to print the papers etc then finding out that I need something else printing and waiting till I'm there next and inevitably forgetting about it!The best bit is that it has a load of games in its memory, press a button and a sudoku prints off!!! :rotfl:

My sister and all her friends have the pandora bracelets. They are lovely. I got her a lovely airplane charm for Xmas and she loved it! It will be a great thing to pass down to her daughter.
I was on a girls weekend this weekend at this hotel:
www.thebeacon.com
It was a gorgeous hotel and the bathroom in the rooms was to die for. It had a separate shower with a massive rain shower head and the bath was a freestanding contermporary bath tub and was so deep and luxurious. We got a free meal in their Thai restaurant on the Friday night and it was delicious.
So I am nice and relaxed today!
Hope everyone else had a lovely weekend
