    I left more than tipsy. Feeling a bit on the rough side now. We had to compete against each other to make cocktails behind the bar, was fun. Then we had food and wine ect after. I still had four free drinks tokens when I left two handed them out.

    I got my 15 pounds through from BB and then won another 10 this morning, is a good week for me!

    I had better get up in a min and start getting ready for work.

    Have just had some bad news this morning. My friends little sister who was just 20 has been suffering with cancer, passed away this morning. Is upsetting for me so can't imagine how my friend feels.

    Despite the sad news I have been getting on with things this morning. I won £2.50 on BB. I have managed to write a rewview on dooyoo, hoping to get to 25,000 miles by the end of the weekend.

    Oh god Wendz, that's such sad news. I can't begin to imagine how your friend must be feeling :(

    Sounds like you're doing well on the money making front though, hope you managed to get to the 25,000 mark on dooyoo.

    I text her to tell her I am here, not much else you can do. It must be very hard for them all at the moment.

    Well no wins on BB this morning and only 10ps on the scratchies.

    WE are back in London again now so trying to do the massive pile of washing. I went round a friends last night and watched X factor with her family which was fun.

    Going to try and do a Dooyoo review in a min and transfer another to Ciao.

    I'm really sorry to hear about your friends sister, I hope her family are doing as well as possible given the situation. It's so sad when things like that happen to people so young.

    Can I ask which bingo thing you've been doing? I haven't been on here much recently so I haven't been looking out for this stuff like I used to. Are you going to watch the x factor results tonight? I watched it last night, I think John and Edward make a mockery of the whole thing but they were funny.

    I have been doing Bingo Britain. Basically if you deposit and play through five pounds you get five pounds bonus every day for 30 days and anything you win you can withdraw, although you sometimes have to add money as the minimum withdrawel is 20 pounds. It is good though and i have won about 50 pounds in total so far.

    I am indeed watching the X fcator tonight, the twins were so funny.

    Thanks for that, I think it's worth giving it a go, OH seems obsessed with bingo since I won that bonus money on TAB so he'll probably do it too.

    I'm going to watch x factor too, it wouldn't surprise me if they get the most votes again.

  • Hi Wendz,

    You seem to know a lot about BB, please could you confirm something for me? I registered and deposited £5, played and straight away won £20, can you withdraw this as balance is now at £21 or do you still need to leave funds in your account to to get the £5 bonus everyday? Not received my £5 bonus yet, so should i wait?
    Soo confusing!

    I'm really sorry to hear about your friends sister, that is a really young age to pass away, its so sad. Really makes you stop and think doesn't it.
