    Quite probably - I think littlewoods bingo might be on there - or butlins bingo used to be through pigsback.

    sorry - it is so long since I signed up I can't remember!


    sorry to be dim hypno, but are the scratchcards (the free ones) on the bingo sites, and if so does that mean you have to put money in before you can get the free scratchcards?

    Yes, they are on the bingo sites and you need to have cash in there before you can play.

    So.......sign up, deposit £10. play your free scratch card and win 10p then withdraw the £10 you have just deposited. You still have 10p balance so you can play again the next day.

    When you get to £10.10p you can withdraw £10 and carry on playing. If you ever withdraw everything and leave a nil balance on the account, you cannot play the scratchcard.

    Have just run 6 miles with P :T The rain held off until we got back. Have had a shower and feel human again, and we are planning to do the same route on Tuesday to see if we can better our time a bit.

    well done on the 6 miles, i bet you feel great after doing that. i always used to feel good after going to the gym. there is a gym at my OH work that i can use andbecause he is staff it will only cost me £6 a month with no min contract. im going to join up after christmas and go a couple of times a week. I can leave DS with my OH after his clinic on a tues and thurs as it takes him an hour or do to dictate his notes.

    So glad you have got what you wanted out of this month. It will be such a good feeling for you to go into the new year so organised, and ready to plug away at the debts.

    I do butlins bingo - some people do take a break which is a different server, but I haven't investigated that one yet. Littlewoods bingo do them too, as do virgin bingo. There is a list on the gambling board of the sites, but you have to be careful that you don't do multiple sign ups because they are sometimes fairly quick to close you down!

    Lunar, that gym fee sounds pretty good. When I was at the prison, we were able to use the prison gym for free which was good, but as you can imagine, it wasn't quite the luxury you get with a monthly membership gym!!
