    I got a line this morning from bingo which was £5 but I didn't realise and saw I had played through £3 of it - duh
    never mind.

    I got my credit card today and found out that my £15 amazon voucher was credited from my balance so I forced myself to pay the £15 off my loan instead so it balanced out. Bank account isn't looking good for next month though so I have to be careful.

    Another line on the bingo this morning. Third day in a row, but this time I was watching so am waiting for my 24 hours to be up so I can withdraw it all again.

    yay makes it worthwhile when you're up on the intial deposit doesn't it. Not sure how the banks are going to like all these transactions to and from bingo britain though lol.

    I just paid off £5 to break through the psycological barrier of another £100.

    You girls are on a roll with that bingo wins. I was tempted but I have a lot on just now so not going to bother. Will keep my fingers crossed for you guys though. Loan figures looking great yb. Will you manage it down to the £1,000 before the end of the year do you think?

    I want it all gone by the end of the year but I might be pushing my luck. I have a spreadsheet (yeah yeah I know) with everything offset and I need 350 without spending any money on xmas to offset it by dec 10th.

    So theoretically if I can find £600 between now and end dec then I can clear it. That's £10 a day so is doable but not sure if I'll quite get there.

    :eek: OMG yb - by the end of the year :eek:

    I so hope you can do it, I really do, you have worked so hard already. Now I am definitely keeping everything crossed for a nice full house on that bingo for you. GL GL GL

    Good luck with that. I want my OD gone by christmas and then hopefully get rid of my loan from my Dad early next year. Hopefully we will both win big on the bingo.
