Wow! Well done, Edinburgher! I must admit I'm getting more and more interested in this bingo malarkey. That's fantastic!

Cheers Gwen - I've never felt so lucky in all my life. Go go positive 2010!

Rucking hell, Ed - that's fab! You are on one hell of a winning streak! Please let me know what games and how many tickets you are buying as I only have about 3 more days left on BB!

Basically I've been playing as many games as I can from 9-10pm with my tickets split across the games. So, if I wanted to spend £5 I'd try and spend 50p in each of ten games (just enough to get any free multibuy tickets). There seem to be some decent prizes at this time of night. The rest, however, is just luck - as there are also a lot of players at night

Fair enough. Hypno advised trying to buy the earlier tickets as there were less players, but now the rules have changed I think my only option is to 'aim big' to win totals of above/as near to £50 as possible to be able to take them out. Thanks for the help! :T

Last day of the holidays.... sniff

Much as Hypno is a source of good ideas, the pots appear to be lower in the morning (£5 prizes, £10 prizes etc.) Doubt I'd have had a chance of winning £££ before the pots got bumped up in the evening?

Morning Ed, hope you have a good first day back

It's going great thanks Doodle - more than enough to do, but nothing so high priority that I can't drink coffee and add the odd quick update to my diary

Pleased to report that my pay rise has gone through and I'm now £150/mth better off. It works out at £85/mth of cash in hand, but this includes my higher taxes/student loan repayments and another 1.5% to my added pension payments. I sometimes feel like a total finance nerd - 26 and I've already upped my AVCs for the last three years running Still, I made a vow that I'd not end up in poverty in my old age - I've seen the effects and they aren't pretty!

BB have updated their T&Cs again and I've been able to request that they pay out my winnings. Hoping the withdrawal goes through ok - £££ would be a lovely new year boost for my savings.
