What the nice lady says ^^^

Great work on the bingo too, I am too scared of trying anything like that, I think I have the wrong personality type, have never even managed to suss out fruit machines in pubs :rotfl:

Car is brand spanking new, straight from factory.

Ford Focus, diesel 1.6v 115 bhp. Colour Dark blue, trim navy/grey. It's so long since I ordered it, I've forgotten the rest of it, but yes KC there is so much electronics on cars these days it can be a bit confusing. I've had a Focus before though, and recently had a Fiesta, so should be OK with the basics, but looking forward to playing with it.

I won another £8 on the bingo today! So I'm now playing with purely winnings, have withdrawn my original stake, and have £4.50 in bingo bonus too. As far as I'm concerned its all free money. I play on one of the slot machine games each day, and generally play 50p and win back around 70p. Not loads in the big scheme of things, but would amount to £70 over a year, so would buy Christmas food! Every little bit counts.

Pottered on to the bingo site, and I'm a bit OCD about amounts so the balance was £xx.35 so I decided to do a couple of slot machine games at 10p each, and was going to do some 5p bingo, just to even the amounts out. I ended up winning 42p! So then the balance was even worse! I did another 2 games and won £1.80. The odd 7p has now been staked on the penny bingo tomorrow morning, but £1.80 isn't bad for actually doing nothing at all. Fortunately I'm not competitive so I can easily stop once I've won something.

Off to Glasgow tomorrow, so must go and pack.

"Winning" is known as *better* on my planet :rotfl:

I've noticed Pippi has no wind at the mo - so I hope your trip up to Glasgow is calm.

Evening from a very wet Glasgow. Journey up was fine, not much traffic and no delays. Chilling in hotel on Monday watching Stargazing (or whatever its called) and last night went out for a meal and met a fellow MSE'er who was in Glasgow on a course. Didn't manage to get any deals, but did have a lovely chat.

Tonight I've got Stargazing and Masterchef, and have ordered room service.

And hopefully tomorrow, my new car arrives! So excited:T:T

Hi there! Are you going to put a photie of the car up on f/b when you finally get to see it?

Hope the work and the journey back go well - I watched Stargazing too, btw, they make a good pair, Dara and Brian ...
