    Its done......all sorted, catalogued and filed. Those that are being kept now take up one small shoebox size box, rather than the great big cardboard box that has been in the garage. The stuff that is being thrown is stuff that means nothing to me - ie photos of days out/scenery.....lots of photos of zoos, steam trains, blah blah, and whilst it means nothing to me per se, it is still hard to think that I am throwing away HIS memories of his good times. BUT, I have to be ruthless - I can't keep everything, even if I wanted to. I have only kept it to date because I have simply been putting the job off.

    But, its done now. Feel crap, as you know, but that will pass. It had to be done, and I have a lot more of his stuff to go through, so I cannot let this feeling get me down otherwise I will never get the job done and on with life.

    *sigh*

  • Sorry to interrupt yout thread again - but need some advise on Bingo Britain.
    I got an email this mornng saying:
    The minimum amount that you can withdraw is £50, if you request a withdrawal for a smaller amount the request will be rejected and the funds will be returned to your account. This amount can be varied at the management’s discretion.

    Also, you may not make a withdrawal unless you have previously deposited on the site. Withdrawal requests will be declined and the player account may b e disabled if a player attempts to make a withdrawal immediately following a deposit without demonstrating an intent to play the site fairly with the deposited funds.


    Now I have £22 in BB which I won two days ago. Doyou think if I deposit £30 and play £2 then I would be able to withdraw my winnnings?

    I could really do with this money!!



    This means if you simply deposit to get around rules etc you would be subject to not only having all you future bonus disabled but even the account also.

    I would say not. It seems the loophole has been well and truly closed :(
    I'd imagine you'll have to play your "winnings" and then cross your fingers for a Full House of £50. Shame, but that's how it is......

    Passes the jaffa cakes. I know how hard it is Hypno as I still live in the house i shared with my nan and although she died 7 years ago it's still hard when i come across photos etc by accident. Like my nan your dad would want you to have the best out of life so i'm sure he would approve of what you're doing.

    I've not really been on BB since my 30 days ended mid-December, but it does seem that they are doing all they can to stop anyone else making free money, sadly.

    As macgirl says, I would simply play through the £22 you have and hope you win to take your total up to £50 so you can withdraw. I don't think they will let you deposit anything now as you have money there to play with, which is a new rule they have made.

    All good things come to an end.......
