    How annoying! But good idea on closing down accounts, I found it doesn't worth using any bingo sites anymore.
  • How annoying is that Maria, but like you said, you have to deposit money in order to play, so that's rubbish. I think we will play with bonus money and winnings, they are crafty aren't they, anything to not have to pay you the money.

    The cards look wicked btw, well done.

    Evening

    Just a quick post as im so tired. zzzzzzz

    Last week i tried to transfer £25 thats in my 365 a day pot into my e-saver i tried 3 times and it kept coming up error so i gave up. Well now £75 has been taken out my account and gone into my E-saver! :rotfl:So im just going to leave it in there now a cross off the other 50 days off my calender.

    Ive just deposited and played through £10 on bingon to get the £20 Quidco cashback. I won a bit but then checked there withdrawl rules which are £10 min but if you withdraw less than £30 the take £5 fee! These bingo withdraw rules make me laugh! So hopefully it will track nicely and that will be £10 profit. :D

    Hi Maria,

    How is it going today? Well done on bingo, let's hope you will make some profit. Try to join Ladbrokes.com as well, I made £90 profit for OH and me just with the introductory offer! I try to find other sites but no luck so far.

    I have £10 on my current account till payday (mid next week), and I lost my debit card the day before yesterday, so it will stay there for sure :). OH is at work, so I'm off to the gym.
    Have a nice weekend!

    Hi Mariagti,

    Just stumbled across your diary through Hayles84 diary and really enjoyed reading it. Am going to subscribe.

    Your cards look fab by the way. I started card making this time last yr and I swear they don't look anywhere near as good as yours! Altho, it has saved me alot of money on buying them from Clintons etc. I tend to pick crafty stuff up in places like wilko, poundland, the works etc so it can be done on the cheap and be a real moneysaver. Keep up the good work!!

    I was really tempted to start using the bingo sites but I think hearing stories like yours has put me off. Sounds like a lot of hassle? Would you say have a go or stay clear of them?

    That is really annoying about the money. It just shows that we should be careful with these sites. Hope you manage to make some money another way so that it can go towards the trip away
  • Hi Maria,

    Well done on the bingo win, i hope you get the money this time, these sites are so dodgy sometimes, which is a shame.

    Have you made anymore cards yet?

    Morning,

    Hi pinkhayley nice to see a newbie to my thread :D I would deffo say try out the bingo sites the worst they can do is kick you off.Just make sure you keep your card details upto date so you dont ever have to phone them, as whne you call them they then check your account.
    I still have my littlewoods bingo account and won £5 again this morning on free scratchie! Yay! I never used to get more than 20p last year!

    Kavics sorry you lost your debit card....thank goodness it only has £10 on it!

    Ive just checked my quidco and the bingon has tracked £20.

    Ive also just had a spend though! for christmas my mum got me a laptop cush top. Its fab! Its like a little laptop table so your legs dont get hot and it tilts so you can use laptop easier in bed.
    Well there on play.com for only £9.99 so ive bought OH one as he liked mine when he saw it. Im going to put it away though into the present box and give it to him as one of his birthday presents May.
    But then i saw a bench sip up jumper thing, i already have one in pink and love it so treated myself to a new one in bluey/green....£19.99. both with quidco of course.

    My insurance renewal has just come! I forgot all about it, its due 17th Feb im with sheilas wheels when my car got hit they were fantastic so i will probably stop with them. It £398....but thats with motor legal protection..i never know whether to have that or not? I dont normally but last year i decided to have it just incase but its £25.

    I will compare and see if i could get a cheaper quote, but sheilas wheel have extra covers like handbag, music system upto £1k, personal belonging.

    I also just re-download Ovi maps on my nokia, i couldnt work out how to use it when i first got the phone i didnt realise you had to pay for it at first.But now there doing it free forever now! Now i have no need for the sat nav i have thats collecting dust under my bed, its quiet old now though dont think it would sel for much.
