really pleased re your holiday booking!
I think I got stung by them putting £5 in my real cash balance - I spent that and I think that is causing the problem....Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
1) MFW Nov 21 £202K now £171.8K Equity 36.37%
2) £2.6K Net savings after CCs 10/10/25
3) Mortgage neutral by 06/30 (AVC £27.9K + Lump Sums DB £4.6K + (25% of SIPP 1.25K) = 34/£127.5K target 26.6% 10/10/25
(If took bigger lump sum = 60.35K or 47.6%)
4) FI Age 60 income target £17.1/30K 57% (if mortgage and debts repaid - need more otherwise) (If bigger lump sum £15.8/30K 52.67%)
5) SIPP £5K updated 10/10/250 -

Oh I will, don't worry! But I have six weeks to get through before I get that far

I managed a NSD today - hopefully I can get a few of those in November - it will really help the budgets stretch a bit further!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Sorry to ask another question...but if i was to wait and withdraw every 3 or 4 days (being optimistic about winning here...) would i still get the free money?0

On BB? You wouldn't be able to play the "free" money while you have a real cash balance - when you buy tickets, they will always take real money first.
So, not worth trying to do it every three or four days, because you will only be spending your real money.....Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
