ooh hurrah for big tax rebates!!
As for being a bingo guru, nope, just passing on my own experiences, which at the moment don't seem to be doing any goodI hope everyone gets things sorted today. I won't be online because I am working at the boss's house so will have to catch up with the news later tonight.

I'm confused by all of this too, it sounds horrible. There are certainly gremlins around at the moment - my main email inbox is seized up somehow, something to do with a Java update, and I can't access the emails. I've never had anything like this, it feels very disturbing - just shows how dependent I've become on the internet....
Hypno, hope you have a good day working at the boss's, do you get out for a little walk around the garden at lunchtime, or do you stay at it the whole day?2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Other than "comfort breaks" we work solidly all day - its one of the reasons we do it, because we get so much more done than in the office, where we have endless interruptions, clients calling, etc. So I do enjoy working there, but it is always quite tiring!
Another plus is that it usually results in a NSD because there is nothing to spend money on at lunchtime :rolleyes:
My last lot of KJP money has been received in the bank so once my casino money is received, then I will have repaid the money I borrowed from housekeeping to pay for my holiday. It is my birthday next week and mum will give me some euros to spend on the slopes and OH has just asked if I want anything for my birthday so I said no, I'll put the money he would have spent in the holiday pot too - so my "free" holiday is coming along nicely!
KC, there will always be gremlins with the internet - it is just that the gremlin makers are one step ahead of the rest of us, so we can only tackle them via antivirus etc once they have appeared, by which time it could be too late! But I know what you mean about being reliant on the interwebby.
The 6th form we looked at last night was good, and DD can do all her chosen options there. It is not the closest, but it is accessible and she gave it 8 out of 10, so that isn't bad!
She looks at another one tomorrow, one on Monday, one on Tuesday and then she will have to start making decisions.....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 -
That all sounds good - but I really don't know whats happening with my hotmail a/c - it shows the list of folders four times, for instance, and the list of emails once, but none of the links will work in *any* of the lists! Very frustrating. I think I'll fetch my brekkie.....
Have a good one.

Morning all...not liking the sound of KJ at the moment....I think I'll stop using it.
The ID thing ..sometimes it happens other times it doesn't.I withdrew £200 and it didn't ask for ID..in the T&Cs it says it wants ID for withdrawals over £250 or after 4 withdrawals.
Your free holiday is coming on fantastic Hypno.Have a good day.0 -

Just got in - looong day, but met friends this evening, who moved away from the area a few years ago, and who we only see once a year or so.......so it was lovely to see them for a couple of hours and catch up.
Hope you've all had a good day - nothing to report from this end.....very boring!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 -
Waves at Seax
Seax it might be cos you want to withdraw more than £50 try withdrawing one lot of £49 and then another lot of the balance. That might work....It did with me on another site I just withdrew £49 a day until the money was all out of their system.. I think it is to do with money laundering...

Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0 -
