    Well done Mudbath. That's 100.4% of your ds's school trip, right?

    Enjoy your party Hypno and hope the cheque appears and is a fat one! Have a good holiday.

    Happy Holibobs Hypno :D

    I'm off on holiday a week earlier than planned thanks to Mr F getting backdated money and us hiring a car, hurrah!

    BB is pretty much done for me - no daily bonus today *sob* but I can use my birthday bonus. I need to email them today to sort it for next week and then I will have £5 per week which is better than a poke in the eye!

    I've had that a few times, I think that every so often making a deposit triggers them giving an £3 extra bonus, but you use cash first before bonus, so you could lose your cash trying to use the bonus. To double check look at the a/c's reports, and you should see the £3 bonus appears within a few seconds after the deposit.

    Thanks. At any rate, I haven't lost my £5 from today. Clouds + lining...

    I have had a heads up though that bonus cheques might be issued today. So that would perk me up no end :rolleyes:

    Tell them to hurry up please, the suspense is killing us :rotfl:

    Ooops - for some reason I missed the last page of your diary. Well done on sorting some of your dad's stuff. That must have been emotional. It's always hard when you have something massive to do - I tend to put it off and put it off and then when I finally do it find it was never that bad. Guess I won't change though!:rotfl:

    Verbatum - yes, it was for DS's trip so that's fully paid for. My daughter has a trip costing £140 to be paid at the end of January (i'm so glad my children's trips don't cost what the Hypno sprog's trips cost!!!:eek:). Anyway, I've just realised my DH can do the bingo using a credit card so I think 'he' can start that tonight! Wonder if that will pay for DD's trip:rotfl:.

    Hypno - I had a lovely birthday thank you xx

    Hi Mudbath,

    We had a bit of a dicussion here about using CCs to fund online bingo and it seems that some CCs class it as 'advance cash' and charge interest rates accordingly, pushing them to the back of the queue as well if there are any further sums to be paid off the CC.

    Don't know if you saw that or not. It's not all CCs, but thought it would be nice to warn you just in case you missed it and it's one of yours. ;) x
