argh I am so tired.........been out all day, not eaten properly, and every time I cough my head feels as though it will explode
So, an early night is called for - after some dinner, a catch up on here, and a bit of X factor.

Hello everyone from a lurker, sorry to hijack your thread Hypno, just wanted to let you know and anyone else doing BB, check your emails. I have received an offer, deposit £10 before midnight tonight and receive extra £5 bonus.
I just deposited £10, got my £5 bonus credited, then deposited another tenner and withdrew £20... phew sorry thats a bit long winded Anyway I now have a the £5 bonus to play through so thought I should report back to spread the word!
Off to play it through now

Thanks, auntyem! I have the email too......
The way that I will try and do it is that if I win with my £5 bonus in the morning, I will deposit my £10 or whatever as usual, then withdraw as usual, then play through any additional £5 that is given!
As it is, I did a withdrawal this morning, and so I need to wait 24 hrs before I can do so again, so I might as well wait and see if I win tomorrow, and hopefully I will get the bonus that way. That way, I won't be risking any more than usual! Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes.

The BB site is a nice one I reckon - shame our relationship with them is not going to be a regular long term thing, but if they send emails like that, it would be worth keeping the accounts open, after the 30 days, even if they are not "active" and to take these odd reload offers as they crop up!
