Hypno's "no more boom or bust" diary

Lemon_Tree

hypno, just thought i'd say that due to you and Taxi i think i've sprained my wrist. By trying to keep up with you two fly lady experts i decided to clean my cooker, including unscrewing and removing the inner glass doors. I guess i ended up pressying too hard whilst scouring them clean and my wrist is now agony. I don't intend to repeat that performance again...... think next time i'll just buy a new cooker lol (honest it wasn't that skanky i think i just got a bit too energetic with it)
i did have a sparkly kitchen, bathroom, hallway and half respectable living room but after making tea and some cakes/buns the kitchen looks like a bomb site again.

don't worry hypno - i won't be claiming against your insurance. i just can't believe how much my wrist hurts, and somehow i've also managed to really scratch myself in the crook of my elbow. i think i'm a liability when it comes to housework really, maybe i won't try it again too quickly

Reminds me of that saying "no-one dies of housework.....but why take the risk?"

I hope it is less painful soon x

Play through your money, and if you win STOP PLAYING! If you carry on playing, you will be playing with your winnings, not with your initial free money.....

It might be that they say you can only withdraw a minimum amount - say you have won £10, but they say minimum withdrawal is £30......don't be tempted to play more to try and get up to £30, as you will probably lose out and end up with nothing - just deposit another £20 of your own, and then withdraw the full £30.

Naughty Hypno!

But ooh...can you do that? Let me get this straight...if I win, they will take any future stakes out of my winnings rather than the remainder of the initial free £20, and to access any winnings inferior to the minimum withdrawl amount I have to add my own money to the aforementioned amount to bring it up to the minimum withdrawl total (my money + winnings), which can then be removed without penalty: after this point, any bets placed will have their stakes taken from the initaial pot of free money.

That's it, right?! :cool:

Almost pickle......

when you have withdrawn, you will lose the rest of your initial "free" money. They will try and get you to stay by telling you that you will lose your bonus.

But if you carry on playing, you could end up with nothing, because you will be playing with your own money first, and relying on another win,

The secret to successful debtbustingbyfreebingo is to withdraw, forfeit any remaining bonus, and move on to the next freebie.....:D

Hmmm, so would it be fair to say I could probably expect to win a small amount from the initial £20 in order to entice me to deposit my own hard-earned cash, then if it is a very small amount and I carry on playing, I am probably unlikely to win any more from that same inial amount, if I decide that the amount I have won is so small as to barely worth bothering about spending?

That's about right pickle - just remember, all the small amounts from various places add up over time

Bingo seminar again I've done the first day's play at b!ngo br!tain, and sadly didn't win anything - they just keep giving me a fiver a day, is that right, and I don't need to deposit? Did you and stressed put it on the bingo, or is there something I'm missing, a cheap game or a freebie or something? Without the cashback backing me up, I'm not quite sure it works, but it must do, this is one you've both won on.......

Thanks! I'll see how this one goes, then join some more when I get the hang of it.

And what does the 'about' mean?! I'm not missing some fine but crucial point, am I?
