    A number of MSE users' have had their Bingoport accounts terminated today - I just wondered if you had also experienced this?

    No, mine seems to be ok. Why on earth has that happened?
  • Apparently we are all in "collusion" because we have recommended the site to each other presumably. I was only a couple of hundred points from getting a redeem as were alot of other people so we are not happy.

    They are always asking people to refer though. I have never referred anyone so I guess that mine will be ok.

    They seem to have gone through one of the forums on MSE and deleted everyone that has the same username on Bingoport and on MSE.

    Still really annoyed about OH but I just think that it's his money and as long as he pays me half the rent and bills then I guess it's up to him what he wastes it on.

    However, I will never lend him any money or pay for meals out or anything like that and I won't accept anything from him like a meal or takeaway. I want to pay my debts and not waste the money on stuff that I don't need. He clearly wants to have seperate finances and that's what he will get. I'm thinking about number 1 from now on.

    On another note, I didn't spend any money yesterday but my petrol is fading fast. Also, my lovely mum got me 3 new tops from New Look yesterday at a pricey £2 each :D. They are only strappy vest tops but I wear them all the time. I've got about 20 different colours.

    OH is a joke. He took his car with him on Sunday night but didn't come home with it on Monday as he left it at the depot. He went back yesterday and I presumed (silly me!) that he would be driving the car back.

    Nope!! He is getting the train back. This is the same car that he has bought £920 seats for and he isn't even driving the flaming thing. My blood pressure is rising again.

    Means he is going to want to use my car. Oh, and he has just emailed me back with the reason for not bringing his car home - he can't afford to put any petrol in!!!!!! And yet he has just paid £50 deposit for those damn seats!!! AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

    Hey everyone

    Sorry I have been MIA for a few days. I am a bit calmer than when I was last on here!! OH is still getting the seats (god knows when though) but as long as I get my rent money and he pays his way then I guess it's his money to waste as he wishes.

    He is away for work tonight so I have the bed to myself. Good job really as he was taking up so much room last night that I went and slept on the sofa instead.

    On the bed front, I have sold it and the buyers are collecting it at the weekend. I got £75 for it which is good and I am using £20 of that to get a desk. I won one on eBay today and it's a small beech one which looks very sturdy and well made (came from M&S so should be good) and is just the right size for my room and laptop.

    I also have my eye on a bedroom chair that looks really comfy and I could use with the desk. It's currently £10 on eBay (starting price - no bids yet) but doesn't finish until Saturday evening. I think I will bid up to £20 for that as don't want to spend anymore than £40 for both.

    When the bed is gone, we are going to sleep on the king-sized mattress for a bit until we get a bed. We have seen a brand new one on eBay for just over £300 which is an ottoman one so we will probably get that. I have put a few things on eBay to try and build up a small contribution to it in Paypal.

    I am collecting the desk on Saturday night so hoping the bed is gone by then so I can put it straight in my room. I can hopefully add the chair to that on Sunday too. They are both local items - I don't bid on stuff that is 200 miles away like OH!!

    Nothing else to report really. I'm going to get an early night in my empty bed :D.

    i find the idea of spending that much on car seats, you can buy a car for that much!

    and i forsee problems ahead if he has parent who bail him out all the time. good luck with that
