u didn't need to ask what they were......

I'm assuming you mean companies that use these numbers to con their customers out of money when they ring up to complain about a problem of a company's own making, or to get technical help with a problem, or do you mean another use for them?

Someone, please, take me back to Kansas....

How many of you actually make a living from your jewellery creations?

Well kinda, I've got a shop, it pays the bills and the mortgage,
but all the spare pennies still goes on tools, metals etc

Welcome Gemma. I don't make a living from jewellery. I just dabble as a hobby. But teaching the kids at school is funding that hobby at the moment.

Thanks Nic and Linda for getting back on topic!

Its great to hear that there are loads of beaders on here with varying degrees of dabbling in silver.
I teach kiddies/monsters to pay for my hobby too Linda. What do you teach?
