Hypno's "no more boom or bust" diary

se999

Good morning,

Just done my scratchies, and on Virgin did my weekly paid bingo, they give you 50p back later the next day if you buy bingo tickets on Wednesdays (doesn't appear to have a minimum spend), it also makes the account look active. Double check the promotions page though, as they seem to be changing a few things at the moment.

Moving out of here on the 31st, so not really time for doing the decorations, busy packing instead. Not sure about Christmas dinner either, as we'll be running down the freezer, but the family has voted for egg mornay for Christmas dinner in the past, so as long as they like it we'll be OK.

Hope your holiday prep goes well.

It has to be bingo tickets, not just any tickets.

I didn't know that about virgin bingo on Weds, Se......and will have a look into it later on - thank you! Your christmas period sounds pretty chaotic - I hope you get some time to enjoy it too.

Surfbabe, sounds like you have found an excellent way of keeping all those kitchen appliances sparkly clean :rolleyes:

We moved at the same time last year too, though that was because of a rental finishing. This time it's the chance to travel with OH with work for a few months, so it was too good a chance to miss.

Hopefully we'll find somewhere to buy when we come back, as we really need a permanent base. I don't suppose you want to help look for property !!!!!! in a different area?

How long til your holiday again Hypno? I can't wait on your behalf, never mind you not being able to wait to go...!

Finished my balance with the bingo of the fox today and haven't won so much as a bean. What rot! Haven't won anything on BB since my initial win, but it's still better than nothing. I've been having some problems pre-purachasing tickets though, but they say that they've gone through even though they show up as costing '£0.00' (don't worry, the money still comes out of the £5 bonus!). HAve tried a variety of early/later tickets in a bid to maximise chances of winning, but we shall see...

Hope the Christmas preps are going well, everyone! x

I go on Saturday.........:D

And I have made the decision to leave the laptop at home. I need a complete break from everything, so will ensure that bank accounts are in tip top shape, all bills are paid and accounted for, I've arranged a babysitter for my scratchcards, etc etc etc.

My phone is not set up to use the internet, so no temptation there.

I am hoping that it will be good for me to take a step away from it for a few days

hear hear using the internet all the time is exhausting, thats why i dont want to get one of those computerised books you need to give your eyes a break

Absolutley! Although you do realised I have every intention of holding a party gatecrashing your thread while you are away? Expect to pick up lots of corks and remains of nibbles when you get back!

I think you are completely right - you deserve a proper break!
