Ahh Is that Hollie on the front page?

All your items are beautiful. I noticed you only have one or two larger girls items, do you make 12 year old stuff? My DD is tall for her age - she's not 9 yet. You're so clever - I'm so jealous. I've love to be able to sew. I can barely do a straight line on my machine.

To the person asking about Tesco mobile, I had a contract with them, it was a sim only one mind but it was only £10 per month for 500 minutes and unlimited texts, bolt ons for internet were £2.50 if I remember it correctly. The coverage is the exact same as O2 they use the same towers so if you get good coverage via O2 you'll get the same with Tesco, you get clubcard points and sometimes there are quidco deals for signing up to them as well.

When I had to call them they were quick and efficient and better than some companies I have dealt with. I would say have a look at what they are offering, especially round about now as there are generally a ton of offers on about now

I have done a decent amount of video watching, rating and I wrote a review so I am pleased with that.

Themstarry nights, have a read of the first few pages, but basically sb is sw*g b*ucks, replace star with a and u. MM is ma*imiles, * is an x. You can get free money by watching videos, surveys etc. Feel free to pm me your email address for a referral;).

another question for me about dooyoo, do you get any miles for making product suggestions as i few items i want to review are not on the site

elysia2003

No nothing for adding the suggestion Joe - but you can only suggest certain things every month. This month it's books and toys, but I can't remember what else. Go into your account page, and click suggest a product - all info will be there. You can only suggest five things a week too.

thanks for that elysia, it was toys i was wanting to suggest acutally - mainly moshi monsters as my sister got just about everything going for christmas to do with it!

elysia2003

That's good news Joe. Thanks for the reminder - I've got two suggestions left, I need to add mine too.
