    Bless my OH, he knows there's a problem but he just can't deal with it. Don't wish to slate him too much on here as he does work really hard, he certainly has his faults and accepting we have debt is a huge fault but I hope he will get there in the end.

    At long last signed up for Bingo Britain, have played through £5, do I just wait now for the money for tomorrow? What are the best games to play on? Have just been playing scratchcards and slot machines.......

    You can play any bingo game - just whatever takes your fancy - just play through your £5, then tomorrow when you log in there will be £5 free to use, again on whatever you want.

    Just remember, that if you win, withdraw before you play again -and if you have less than £20 in real money, you can top up with your own cash and then withdraw.

    I've only just seen this thread, but well done on working so hard to pay off this debt; I admit it's one of the biggest I've noticed (excluding mortgage) but I've also read success stories on here and think this is such a friendly, supportive community that you'll really get through it, maybe even ahead of schedule. Good luck!! :D

    Really pleased for you IMD. Make sure you stick with protected stakes like BB free bonus month and offers via places like quidco. I won £20 today too - great isn't it!
