    Hi all,

    Nothing to add on money making - not made anything in ages. I've been putting off eb@y listings, waiting for another free insertion days and I think that is making a difference :(

    I was wondering if someone could tell me about this fabulous bingo thing? I've never done any of these as they all make me a little nervous but everyone seems to be doing so well off them and I could really do with something to help out as I'm doing so poorly this month.

    I've been doing well on not spending - although today, I found that the pitta bread I brought to work for my lunch was actually mouldy, so had to buy a sandwich (cost more alone that my usual weekly lunch budget!) which was a pain. Oh well - I don't do it often I guess.

    Also - got dentist tomorrow - more money down the pan. And I really am nervous as to how much money they will be demanding when they tell me how much all the potential work is going to cost. I really can't be affording all these things.

    *Sigh* - this month is feeling a little deflating. Maybe March will be better?

    I'd never used them before either but it was really easy and so long as you withdraw your money once you've used up the free bonus you should come out ahead. The key I think is to withdraw your winnings when you can not to use them all up playing bingo, and definitely not to deposit more money.

    If you're going to use it sign up using someone elses referral (PM someone here or look on the referral thread) and they get a £10 referral bonus which is a nice extra for them.

    (Then I guess if you want sign up for a different bingo site that offering cashback higher than the required deposit and thus make more money).
  • Dad just gave me £30..woohoo new total now at £428.18...I am not sure where it actually goes though as my bank reckons i am nearly £200 overdrawn still!!!

    Hi Catherine.

    How about doing a spend diary? Doesn't need to be a diary as such, just get a notebook, and make sure you write down EVERYTHING you spend. It could just be something as small as a packet as chewing gum but its amazing how quick these all add up over a month. Then next month you can see where you can cut back and save a few more ££'s. I'm doing one at the moment. It can sometimes be a bit of a pain remembering to write it down, but worth it in the long run. I'm always saying "where has all my money gone?"... I can see now :o

    My friend has just bought me a handbag! :j It's gorgeous, I'd been eyeing it up and was planning on buying it when I get some more vouchers through, so will add the cost of it as I am now £22 better off (and will be able to buy another lovely handbag when I get my vouchers :D).

    Oooh, the post came as I was typing - no nail varnish :(, but I did get a statement from a really old account (been chasing them up in search of pennies, lol)... I've got £9.67 in it :T Will take that out the next time I'm in town.

    Oooh, (again, lol.) Just noticed that I've hit target at £161.71/£145 Yay!

    Not declaring yet Aesop as I've got a few bits due in the next few days so will probably add to it before the month is out.

    Just checked my bank account and £38.77 went in from Fab today, the £10 deposit also went out, so that leaves me £28.77 better off :D

    Guess what i have been doing all afternoon???? no not bingo :rotfl::rotfl: well actually did play a free game earlier and won £6.10 now that i mention it :D

    No, I have been listing on the dreaded fleabay and now have 196 items listed on there :eek::eek: It was a bit of a cheat cos its a big box of perfumes i have to sell so lots of multi listings and copying listing with just perfume name change so it didn't really take me too long. I have added £11.20 worth of fees to my account but thought with mothers day coming up soon it would be worth adding a lot of BIN's :) Lets hope it works out in my favour! If there is a FLD this weekend i will cry mind you :mad:

    Also wrote an explanation of the fab bingo risk free doufer (technical word!) on my blog so hopefully will get some referrals in from that :D

    Just had apple pie and ice cream so now off to check my positive steps to see what i was supposed to be doing all day :p

    Oh and i had another challenge idea - called double your money ;) will think about it some more and maybe give it a try :D

    Aesop Huni - hope you doing ok, don't think i have seen you in yet so hope you not feeling too poo :(
