    The only thing is you can't buy any more tickets as your tickets will come out of your winnings if you don't withdraw rather than the bonus money. You won't win every day but I seemed to win something every 2 or 3 days.

    Tink - I had to do a placement as part of my course but I wrote to a few companies and they offered me an interview which I went for and I did work experience for a couple of months. Was a great thing to do though as it got me the job!

    I've just signed up to Bingobritain now, so I guess I just need to deposit a fiver and then set a reminder to play it every day. I don't need to do anything else do I?
    Oh yeah, how do I set it up to play automatically?

    Sorry to post and run, but have loads to do and am desperate for some sleep...

    NIM and I had a talk last night and I said what I wanted most for Chistmas is to get the debt gone. We've only got a little bit, £1350 as an overdraft, and about £400 on the credit card, so should only take a couple of months to clear. So for Christmas NIM is giving me his time, he is going to properly lay into the moneymaking for a month or so to try to give me some more piece of mind. Exstatic with that. Anything he bought me I could have bought myself, but having him doing this rather than being prodded is really something. Of course his uni work still comes first, but just means he hopefully will be laying into the debt clearance at the weekend or an evening instead of watching tv or playing computer games or something. Really has been bothering me that we're sliding back into debt.

  • That's a good idea, seems silly buying stuff for each other when you're worried about money and have so much to save for.

    Am intrigued about the ballet on your list...??

  • Think it is a good idea too, especially if you are stressed about the debt.

    Make sure to give yourselves a break over the Xmas as well. It is good to snuggle up together and watch a film and eat some chocolates!

    I've always wanted to go see the ballet, its on my 30 before I'm 30 list, and the Russian National Ballet is coming to Darlington, and suposedly those under 26 free theatre tickets are on for it. So really want to try to get some. I'd love to take up ballet again tbh, but no idea if anyone anywhere teaches adults to be pretty fairies!
