Hypno's "no more boom or bust" diary

Just £10, so in the grand scheme of things, not an issue that will cause me sleepless nights - I will play through my balance and see if I can meet the WR without having to pay in any more money.......
An irritation, and one that seems to have come from the refer a friend thing! So a hint for anyone who is still able to play and who doesn't have withdrawal problems - don't refer a friend :rolleyes:Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Bless hypno - at least you have had loads of money thro them previously!
Well I have looked at the tesco club card deals - I'm hoping that the 500 free clubcard points apply to what I bought: JLS, Harry Potter and Take that! If it does - even without the 4x in deals it will have been half price!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

That's the way I looked at it too - I was going to buy the DVD anyway, so might as well get some extra points from it too!
And yes, over time, the bingo has been ok for me, and these loopholes will always close in eventually, so it is a case of making the most of them while they are there, and moving on to find the next one when you need.Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Of course that's another of your titles........Loophole Queen

All the lovely overtime at work has finally dried up-pity it was rather nice doubling my wages without leaving the house. Back to MSing to make up at least some of the shortfall for now-I have today-to buy something -and take it back in a week for refund-I think I'll pay by Visa

Sorry to hear that it's been reversed Hypno...think that's the end of that then.0

Probably is, but I will play through what I have there this evening or over the weekend, and if I hit the WR then I might carry on, but I don't want to add any more money to it, just in case......Sorry to hear that it's been reversed Hypno...think that's the end of that then.
I've done ok - even allowing for the £10 I have probably lost with yesterday's withdrawal, I am still "up" by £170 - not as much as taxi, but not too bad for a few weeks' effort.Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

If you have more than 1 tesco clubcard you could order from each to get 500 points on each card

I've only got the one......but perhaps I could investigate the possibility of OH having one of his own rather than sharing mine

Sorry about the reversal but as you say not unexpected.
I agree I think it was the refer a friend that started the process in my case.
I manage to play through £110 of wagering requirement last night without depositing so was happy with that. Need to avoid getting bonuses if poss just add to wagering requirement
x3 for bonus. What I am hoping for is that winning on free does not add to wagering requirement reading the rules I dont think it does but as I haven't wo na free since I started checking so I can't say. If so I should be able to complete wagering requirement as I only have about £20 to go and then I will see what happens - I must add up what I have made from this but I know it is quite a bit and has certainly been worthwhile for me so I don't want to give up on it yet if I don't have to
