    lol FF! I've not done too badly - nothing like "all the money in the world" but I will tot it up when I know for sure that it has come to an end........probably about £100 or so from OH account, and I think I got £130 or so from mine, so a nice amount of free money. Nothing compared with taxi's mega wins, but then she has the luck of the bingo gods, so I am never likely to match that :rotfl:

    Banking showed £15 bb profit, so that has been swept over to the ski pot. Nothing else to report finance wise. 20p on one scratchie and virgin gave 25p so that is better than nowt.

    good morning to you too, se, and hope you have a good weekend ahead of you! How is the househunting going?

  • I keep thinking my run on BB must be ending but I keep finding that £5 there. Have had no wins for a few days, have just gone on and won £10 but have some pre-booked games for later so can't withdraw. Have had lots of little wins too, quite good for free money. Will have to get DS 'interested' in bingo.

    Good luck with the ski sale, its all adding up nicely.

    Hi Hypno & Friends!

    Have a wee look on my thread for my latest BB post - they are giving me more free money for my birthday! Might be worth keeping your accounts open once your free month has ended...

    Maybe BB is getting busier as my wins are going down too, they were little and often, now it's littler and less often, but it all helps.

    Good start to the morning, spotted we'd got some Nectar pts last week, I'd been carefully using the extra pts coupons when OH was redundant and extra for bag reuse too, anyway £25 off the bill this morning :)

    :hello: I've got those BB birthday money things, *and* a thousand point nectar voucher from Sainsbo's Little Ones club. If I had any little ones, it would actually be justified :eek: still, I think in the end I shall do something splendiferous with my nectar points - if that voucher takes, thats quite a stack of money in there.

    Hypno - hope the ski sale went well, and the footie too.

    Am pleased to report a successful day - £200 profit from the ski sale (actually took £210, but bought DS some poles for £10 which he needs before he goes away)......so was more than happy with that. Still got plenty to sell so will have another sale in the new year.

    Then a nice walk to the football, it has been a glorious day here today, nice and still.....and we won 2-0 so that was fab as well, and I really enjoy going with DS.....If I could afford a season ticket myself, I would probably have one - as it is I will just make do with the occasional lend of one from someone at work :o

    So, all in all, a pretty good day - now going to have some dinner and snuggle on the sofa for Saturday night telly. Only downside of the day is that I have only eaten a slice of bacon, so need to get some food inside me. Might also hunt out a recipe for brocoli and stilton soup to make for lunch tomorrow.....

    Hope you have all had a good day x

    I think it's a £5 minimum and they match it and then £5 bonus money a day for 30 days. I started with £20 and won it back the same day so anything out of the bonus fivers is profit now. Odd are better as it's a less high profile site (boredom levels are equal though :D)

    So if I've got this right the first ten pound I'll play through will be my £5 deposit, plus their matched £5, and if I manage to play through £15 on my first day that will be my £5, their matched money and my £5 for that day? :confused: :rolleyes:

    Thanks for the advice! :T
