    F-F - if you can refer me to the bingo site, I would appreciate it - is it just normal bingo?
    It's free bingo and slots - you play for points. You can redeem the points for either Amazon vouchers or bingo money on cash sites. I do it quite a bit and have redeemed about £25 Amazon vouchers, but it's hard going sometimes! I sent you a PM about it.

    Ooh - F-F can you pm me about the bingo too please.
    My debt playing is going very slowly (read 'stopped'!) at the moment - have had poorly children off school, so havebeen spending a fortune on medicine and 'treats'! Oh well they seem on the mend so should be back to school next week.

    Well, am having a slightly more frivolous month than usual due to working many many hours (:D£££:D) but have just cruched the numbers again and now only have to pay £14.14a day to hit my DFB target so, having seen the amount increase recently, am well chuffed with that! Thanks once again F_F for a Fantastically_Fabulous thread! :p

    Might go play with my ticker/clicker thingy....

    Ok, bigbeff and catspaw you're on the list!

    Keep posting your successes and challenges to give us all some ideas too!

    Last of my Ebay money came this morning (Woo!) so another £16ish into the bank account. I have paid £6.53 into my instant access savings account but as I don't get paid until Tuesday the other £10 is in my current account - just in case!

    keza and amberowl28 - welcome! You're on the list, good luck!

    Folk who asked for bingoport referrals, it's done now. I think there may also be a list somewhere on the boards for other referrals....not sure though!

    Hope everyone is well and debt-busting. I would be doing a lot better if it wasn't for bands I loved touring :rotfl:
  • Hiya on this side..... £383.73 since I last posted (which was a long time ago :o )

    Hello DFB's !!

    Welcome to the new challengers. Having a date set is wicked motivation!

    I am coming up to six months since my LBM now, long way to go but very pleased as my Cap 1 has now just gone under £2,000. Thrilled with that. I am getting paid next Thurs and have budgeted a very "slim" month in July so really hoping to make some big PADs at the back end of next week.

    So far this year I have moved house (saving £250 rent a month), quit the fags (£35 a week but early days) cleared the Egg and well over half way on the Cap1. Woo-hoo.

    Still looking to move jobs. I am lucky to have a reasonably secure one, but been looking to move for a while now (been there 9 years) - the flipping recession just got in the way!! The Regulator jobs I was after hit a blank (think maybe I am applying too high, so going to apply at the next level down) Also, got a call from a recruitment guy looking for someone for a similar job I am doing now but with another Insurance Company. Going to throw my hat into the ring for that. It would mean working out of Central London but is a big move cash wise and a good job (more debtbusting!)

    Keep plugging away folks, and remember to pop in with your updates.. I for one love reading them!
    Debt Free 25th August 2010 with PAD !!
