Hi George thanks for the positive message mate, hope things are good with you?
Yes, managing to keep a firm grip on things now and yes, it'll be two more years in March before I'm finally debt free, over half way at least eh?
Quick update then...
Joined Paddy Power and took advantage of their free £50 offer for new customers. Bet £50 on Wolves to win @ 1.66 and laid at 1.65 for a loss of £0.39
Staked the free £50 on Leeds to win tonight @ 5.5 and laid on BF @ 5.7 to win £38.59 in BF
Also won £4.31 in Jackpot Joy since I last wrote in free spin sessions taking the balance to £14.29. Not managed to win anything at the free bingo there yet but I'm sure if I play enough games my turn will come...
Summary
TCB +£40.40 (still pending)
JPJ +£14.29
Matched Bets +£78.52

Quick update...
Paddy Power were good enough to give me a free £10 bet no strings attached so I took advantage of this by packing Piraya @ 8.00 and laying on BF @ 8.20 to win £8.48 in BF after the horse lost.
I also had a great session in JPJ landing £11.24 in free spins at the weekend! :-D
Going to look at some more sign-up offers this week ...
