    I've entered 3 pages of comps, but finding it tedious so taken a break from it for now.

    Have updated all the incomings / outgoings and it's looking much better than normal so far, thanks to the bingo wins. :T

    Played through £5 on bingo, no wins.

    Bought 3 gift packs from the grabbit board for friend's birthdays or next year's Christmas presents! :o I'm doing really well on the gift buying front for next year already!

  • I've entered a few more pages of comps and also listed 2 more items on Amazon. For some reason, the book I listed yesterday had been cancelled and it did it again today after I relisted it. No idea why but it's annoying! :mad:
  • The above book has been bought already after I relisted it for a profit of £11.69. :D Off to wrap, address and get it sent tonight 2nd class in the hope it gets there before Christmas...
  • Parcel is wrapped and ready to go. I've checked the weight online and it appears the cheapest it can go for is £4.41, which leaves me with £7.28 profit which I'm quite happy about considerinf it was free in the first place. ;) I've rounded it up to £7.50 and will pay off the credit card, leaving balance at £1142.50.
  • No wins on bingo this morning through hubby's account, my bonus has pre-purchased some cards for tonight. The £100 win has hit my account this morning too, so that's been 'hidden' in the e-saver account. ;):D

    10p & 25p on scratchcards today. I've also entered some more comps and will do some more later.

    Postie has just bought the gym clothes I ordered last week from the grabbit board - think I saved something silly like £120 off the full price. :D

    Oh, and still have the lurgy. :tongue:

    hope you get better soon. You're doing really well on the trickles of money (as well as that whopping bingo)
    I added up all mine from BB this morning. I think I'm just over half way on OH's acc and we have have £250 between us so well happy with that.

    Need to think what to do when it finishes though lol
  • Thanks Yukki, still feeling, well.... yucky, at the moment!

    £250! Wow, that's brilliant! Well done. It's such a great bonus isn't it, I wish a few more sites would do something similar - although I guess they'd all go out of business if they did! It's such a help having the money coming in from these wins too isn't it, especially before Christmas. £250 must've really helped with the festive expenses a little. I haven't added up how much we've won, but I guess it must be around £220 off the top of my head. :T I will have withdrawal symptoms too though - will have to remove my card details so I'm never tempted to deposit a fiver at free will and play it!!! :o

    I think the Bingo has def helped the xmas pressies get sorted, and buffered the savings acc for when I pay off the credit card next week so it all helps.
  • Hello

    Hope you feel better soon. Comping when you feel ill is beyond the call of duty! I've been out to a lovely carol concert tonight, so feeling festive. I might sort out my presents tomorrow, make sure I have everything and get some wrapped so I feel more organised.

    Take care,

  • Morning all.

    Fed up with feeling rough now and I'm bored of daytime TV and surfing the web...

    2 x 10p on the scratchcards, no wins on the bingo and my BB bonus has now run out. :(

    The carol concert sounds lovey chocs, hope the wrapping went well. I would do some myself, but as usual I've been way too organised and done it all already!
