    Oh yes, we all love a good list!

    Well, of all my beauty type reviews, there's only one item on Beauty Judge that I could copy over. I'm sure there'll be plenty of S&G stuff for me to write about though!

    Are you working on a new sig Birdie?

    I am, just figuring out what I owe and what my goals are!

    I'm shocked that you don't have a list already Dinah! Even I, the queen of disorganisation, had a list!

    Ooh, I might allow myself to write a list once I've paid off the OD and am saving for the moving out fund, that'll give me good incentive to get it paid off! :D

    Hi all,

    Hope you are all coping being back at work.

    We have kind of got half the stuff we would need for a new flat ( we are planning on doing some serious looking this month to buy eek) but we would need all the big stuff like sofas etc. Oh is already looking at widescreen TV's..typical male!

    That was OH's must-have first purchase. His essentials list consisted of TV, surround sound, xbox 360 and Blu-Ray player! He bought most of it himself though so I couldn't complain. I quite like it secretly, it makes watching films a lot better. Although the suround sound is scary, when something explodes on screen the whole room shakes!

    Gah, I'm really annoyed and confused at BingoBritain! I had in my account £5 of winnings plus £5 bonus. When I went on to deposit in order to withdraw the winnings it said I had too much in my account to deposit (you're only allowed to have £5 max now), so I quickly placed £5 of bets so that I could withdraw only to realise once I'd deposited £20 that of course the bets were taken from the cash fund and not the bonus. Gargh!

    So:
    - You can only withdraw once every 24 hours
    - You can only withdraw £20 minimum
    - You can only deposit if you have £5 or less

    It seems as though if I withdraw the £20 now, I lose the £8 bonus which I'll get tomorrow ... my mind is going in circles here, it's like a riddle.

    If I let the games I've bought play, withdraw my £20 plus any winnings, then I've lost a fiver at the most. Then what I might do is just play the £5 bonus each day and wait and see if I have enough to withdraw at the end.

    Sorry that was a mega long ramble, I've really confused myself with it - it seemed easier for everyone else :(

    Argh, damnit! See I told you I was confused! So if you have more than £5 in the account you can't deposit to withdraw, but you can't keep your winnings safe because it will spend those first before the bonus money! Dirty rotten scoundrels! Well I won £3.34 on those games I played earlier so have withdrawn £23.34 and will chalk the £1.66 loss up to experience :angry:
