Hypno's "no more boom or bust" diary

hypno06

Gah, just won £5 on bingo but can't withdraw because I did a withdrawal last night - so now can't make the most of my bingo bucks because I have a "real" balance :rolleyes:

Oh life is so tough :rotfl:If that is my biggest problem I have today, I certainly have come a long way on this financial rollercoaster :cool:

Your time will come Pickle! Keep at it

It certainly will -remember it is all random so you have just the same amount of chance as everyone else - and at some point your numbers will come up

If you'd have told me last year that you could - if you put your mind to it - acquire free money, I'd have thought you were mad.
All it took though, was a shift in mindset. I've just realised that this is probably how many self-made rich people think.

Exactly - and it does make a big difference - this week I have had several very small amounts of money - £2, £2.50, £3 for example, and it would be so easy to think "it's hardly worth it", but those three figures equal £7.50 and that suddenly becomes a reasonable amount of money.

All these little bits add up - my £10 a day challenge for October has been achieved with all these odds and ends, which means that I have brought in over £300 free money this month -to earn that, being a high rate tax payer, I would have had to earn £500. That is equal to a huge pay increase........so my £2 and £3 "winnings" could be equal to a £6k per year payrise......suddenly it is not so insignificant :rolleyes:

When is the skiing hol missus? This is the first time I can remember you thinking about spending money on yourself and I think its great

About the bingo thing, yesterday I had the same issue, but this morning when the 24hr limit was up I was able to withdraw it and the rest of yesterdays bonus was still there, so had £7 to play with today and won £5, so tomorrow you should have a bit extra

Hol would be in 6 weeks time :eek:

The bingo withdrawal issue is on KGP not on Bingo Brit and when you withdraw real money they wipe out your bonus money, so I will just have to forfeit it......never mind, getting the real money out is the main thing, and I can do that this evening.

I havent done the King one yet, could you refer me please? and how does that one work?

hypno06

If I refer you, I get more bonus money that I will lose anyway when I withdraw my real money :rolleyes:

So.......pm karmacat or double trouble or one of the others with your email addy and they will be happy to refer you, I am sure!

KC is Vallandra on there, and DT is Double02......

Nooooooooooooo :eek: I am one of the sad people who look at your signature to see if it has gone down & I'm looking forward to seeing it below 20k (note to self - get a life ) . By all means show your mortgage debt but please show it separate.
