    I'd only spent £3 so I'll get rid of that extra £7 and leave the rest, see what happens. I'm well chuffed.
    Think I might do a thread of my own to track diary-wise. I get zero encouragement for saving/paying off debts at home :rolleyes:

    I just try and cover as many numbers as possible, in a set number of cards. Tweleve seems to work okay. I got a full house win.
    Or, maybe it's beginner's luck! :rotfl: :D

    You see... you're streets ahead of me already with the tactics!!!! Doh! :rotfl:

    I'm thinking of doing the chit chat bingo (also through quidco) when I've got another spare £10 so I'll try your tip, thank you!!! :D

    I'll have to make a list of all my chants otherwise I'm gonna forget some... I keep changing them that often!!! :rotfl:

    You're own diary thread can be good... keep a record of everything and track your progress! :T

    Regarding quidsco I withdrew my £40 winning incase they disappeared. Today they were in my bank account and it's still tracking with quidsco. The way I see it is I'm 30 quid up with my stake even if quidsco is rejected!

    After reading this post yesterday... I won full house last night on bingos.co.uk - only £12 but still! Brad Pitt didn't turn up at my door with a red rose in his mouth, so a winning bingo prize had to be consolation enough! :p

    I invested £10, and still have £12 left to play - who knows, I'll let that run out then enjoy my £30 from Quidco. :T

    Does anyone know the answer to this - if I win £12 and have that as a real cash balance (ie incluudes no bonuses etc), can I then credit another £20 from by bank account and then withdraw £32 and incurr no penalty? I know you have to withdraw over £30 for this. Seems the only way to get my (winnings £12) money out without spending it all?

    Any ideas appreciated - I like to quit whilst I'm ahead with winnings :p

    Interesting question!!! It might be worth reading the small print carefully, they might say that you have to play with any deposits, before you can withdraw them.

    I'd be interested to know the answer!

    I will look into it - I know it's a bit devious, but so is their surcharge for withdrawing less than £30... is it a fiver?

    Well I wrote the mantra down (money is coming easily to me) on a post-it note next to my computer at work - much to the amusement of my colleagues who laughed at my wishful thinking - bloody cheek!!

    Anyway - its worked. Today I've found out that this month I'm getting a payrise of 3% - which means an extra £60 a month in my pocket!! This is totally unexpected.

    Also last night I went to pay a friend £5 that I owed her and she told me to keep the money - as a late birthday present.

    So I shall keep my little post-it note and feel very smug when my colleagues smirk at my ?? folly ??
