    Banking done, and a total of £42.50 various MSE money received so transferred to the ski pot......also, the usual £25 monthly payment has been made to the 0% so the debt has come down very slightly today too.....

    Signature updated accordingly, and overall, not a bad start to Friday!

    Well, bingo is well and truly money saving! I used my bank card to deposit my original £5 and then left the card on the sofa. During the night might stoopid spotty dog decided she was hungry!!! I have saved money because I was supposed to be going christmas shopping today!!! The miracle is that my pooch hasn't been sent to be rehomed!!!

    I'm not in later so i'm putting my bonus on two games this morning to get rid of it! Don't think the winnings are big in the morning though. Listen to me:rotfl:.


    Have a good day xx

    Oh my goodness - I just won £2.50 for getting two lines and then a tenner for full house. I now have a total of £22.50/£120 for DS's trip!!!!!!

    Can I just check....I need to deposit a tenner now to get it all out and then i'll lose the rest of my bonus for today? If I played again before I take the money out then i'd be playing with my winnings??? xx

    Thanks skint_spice - yes, I have £12.50 in cash. Just remembered I can't withdraw again for 24 hours from last withdrawal so will have to wait until tonight. Oh the excitement!:rotfl:

    Macgirl - you on the phone shouting about your winnings had me creasing up. I went to drop children off to school this morning and another mum got talking to me. I wanted to say that I couldn't stop and chat as I had to go and play bingo as it was my only chance today. Luckily I managed to stop myself!!!:rotfl:xx

    Deposit £10, and withdraw £22.50 when your 24 hours is up.

    On BB, that will leave you with the remaining bonus in your bonus account, which you can then buy further tickets with. They are very kind there and don't take it away from you if you withdraw before you have used it!

    You can't deposit £7.50 - there is a drop down menu with deposit options, so choose £10 and withdraw from there.

    the other good thing about BB is that they are fairly quick in getting the money back to your account - quicker than KJP in my experience so you shouldn't have cash flow issues for too long.....

    WD!

    I am getting slightly ahead of myself.......

    One of the big housebuilders has just got planning permission for a smallish development literally just off dream road.......

    I have therefore "registered an interest". There are no details on cost, dates, or anything yet, it is very early days, but no harm will be done by asking for info when it is available.....

    As far as I am concerned, the longer it takes them to get sorted, the better, and I have told them that on the phone.

    If it is meant to be, it will be......if it happens too quickly and is too expensive, well something else will come up.

    I need to get into the bingo again but did have a lucky lemons time last night.
    On my birthday two months ago I was given a birthday bonus of Maximum tickets on any bingo game of my choice-went for the expensive room and somehow managed to wager £25 of my own money too due to the poor way it was explained to me. I rang the company and complained they said they would escalate it -check the logs and get back to me within 48 hours. They didn't so couple of days ago I emailed them-I got an email saying-Oh this was settled at the time -have a tenner though. I replied nicely saying that it wasn't settled at the time and I wasn't happy. I got a call yesterday from a lovely chap apologising saying he'd listened to my original call-giving me back my £25 as well as the £10 already offered. Now as a good MSE-er I should have withdrawn the money there and then I suppose -but I didn't-I played slots with it instead as it was "free money" I never expected to get back and won £300 so I deposited £250 and played with the £50 that was left-and kept winning ! Total profit £550 !!! (and yes it's all sitting in pending waiting for the withdrawal I'm not pushing my luck any further ! I love JackpotJoy :)

    Duchy you are another that has always seemed to get lucky with such things - I know that I would lose everything if I were to do that and just end up annoyed with myself for coming away with nothing!

    You and taxi ought to set up a syndicate - you would wipe the floor between you!!

    Well done, and I hope the withdrawal goes through!
