    I got excited and registered for that bingo but my card was declined.This happens on a lot of the sites but I don't know why?...it happened on another one the other week as well.There'splenty of money in the account as well so perhaps it's a safety thing by A+L!!!

    My head hurts with all this B1ngo stuff! Which one is it that you, DT, KC and stressed (I think? :confused:) have been doing your free b1ingo on recently?

    Is b1ngoport worth a try and how does that work - I know you get points for posting but why are there posts on a b1ngo site anyway? I thought b1ngo was all the annoying chat rooms... How do you get amazon vouchers?


    We have been doing Kingjackpot don't forget to go through quidco if you decide to do it and send me a PM and I will give you a rundown of how to make the most of it. I think we have all done pretty well out of it but be warned it is time consuming.

    In other news, today I've been told my job ends tomorrow :eek: It's not unexpected when there's a recession, but it's a shock nevertheless. I've updated the CV and applied online to a couple of jobs, but appreciate I'm one of hundreds doing this.

    I'm going to really have to pull my finger out to get some money in. DT, I know this is really cheeky, but can you PM details of K1ngjackp0t? I've just played through £5 on B!ngoBr1tain and not won anything, but I'll be patient. I'm a couple of weeks away from pay out on the scratchies. Think I need to sign up for Mystery Shopping, though frankly it scares me witless.

    May be a chance to read through Matched Betting, but not now - my heads all over the place. Thanks for the thread - it's the first place I came to share my news :D

    hiphouse I am so sorry to hear about your job, and so abruptly too.

    Mystery shopping is not scary - once you have done one or two, you'll find them dead easy - sign up to several sites, though, because work is a bit hit and miss - the more that you sign up to, the more chance of getting something.

    In our city there are plenty of ads in shop windows for seasonal staff......get yourself out there and see if you can bags something which will take you through until January and will buy you a bit of time.

    stick with bngobritain......I've just won a fiver on it. Other days I win nothing, but I'm up £25 in 8 days, so I'm happy enough with that.

    Wishing you all the very best in your jobhunting - I don't envy you, but I do think that sometimes fate has a part, and that means that better things are out there for you xxx

    hi hiphouse -sorry to hear about your job. Just wishing you all the best with job hunting. I joined linkedin a professional networking site and posted my CV on job boards minus my home address - that is what got me my latest job.

    Things are picking up on the job front so don't despair. Do an emergency soa / budget planner and work out how you are going to get thro this blip asap so you don't store up problems for yourself later.

    - For the person who mentioned kingjackpot - please could you pm me with the info - that would be great. Thanks
