    Hello, long time lurker here!!!!!
    Just wanted to say I joined b!ngobr!tain yesterday, had to deposit £5 to start me off. I played again today and won £15, so deposited another £5 to make it up to £20 and have just withdrawn it! Woohoo, I still have £4.10 left of free £5, so do I have to play that today, or will it roll over?
    Thanks for advice!

    I think you need to play it so that it then triggers the bonus for tomorrow.

    Obviously no wins for me on the bingo because I've been at work, but I will keep my fingers crossed that the luck continues for us all this evening :D

    I managed a NSD - largely on account of not being any where near any shops :rolleyes: But it is gratefully received!

    I think you need to rename this thread...

    How about "Hypno's bl00dybingo [STRIKE]cafe[/STRIKE] drop-in centre"? :confused::p
  • Hello Lovely People! Well done on all the Bingo wins :T glad that Benbenandme plus I created a good start for you all this morning :p:rotfl:

    A busy day for me - out at 9am to post a parcel to the US (£10 profit from an Amazon sale) then out to search for work.... I've got a days work tomorrow :D and possibly a few more 0.5 days work in November too. In the meantime there's the potential for other opportunities after the weeks work next week - fingers crossed.

    Also in today's news - got the cheapest eye make up remover at Tesco and found cotton wool at the £1 shop *bargain*. Picked up cheap veg at Morrisons (not on the mysupermarket comparison site). Bought a wedding present for my brother (John Lewis gift list, not cheap) but it's next week and I almost forgot :eek: For the wedding I've bought a new top (70% discount on a 100% fabulous silk creation) that I'll team with some black trousers already in the wardrobe and the new pair of black boots bought today for £13 (10% discount at ShoeZone).

    To offset some of these costs, I'm looking to do a table top sale on Sunday morning - it's indoors, starts at 9.30am so much more sensible than a car boot since rain is forecast for Sunday and - minor detail - I don't have a car :p
  • Gosh - just realised my post above was completely self-absorbed. Sorry.

    Hypno, well done on the NSD. How's your son? Is he feeling a bit better? I hope your daughter's journey back to the UK tomorrow is easy and on time... will you be collecting her from the airport, or has the school covered transport back home - hope it's the latter, better for the purse!

    Get well vibes to all who need them. Have a good evening and for those on the Bingo - good luck - or should that be glglgl

    Don't worry! I do that all the time and haven't been chastised or booted off the thread yet! :rotfl:

    How do you amass £70k in a year?! :eek:
