Thank to op for mentioning kittybingo.

Paid my 10. When I got to 36.40 I checked to see I'd spent my 10 er. And withdrew 36. So very happy. 20 and 5 also tracked.

Could do with the extra cash right now😀

On my return home, I found

1. House in a terrible state, looks like there was a 'gathering' aka party last night (DS2 has not surfaced from his room)

2. DS1 has given me £100 board and lodgings .... 1st time ever!

Bet its to cover, something that has been broken/damaged :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It is stating that a mobile phone number is required.... is there anyway to not give my proper number?
TIA

Make one up at your peril as you could then be permanently locked out. Gaming sites do run credit reference checks on you for identity verification so I would suggest legit details or don't sign up.

I hear they also take a dim view if you sign up family members and can make you jump through significant hoops to get your money back if they even let you have it back :eek: .

Note - they log IP, computer/device details etc due to anti money laundering and fraud prevention. Many are one account per household.

Hello everyone :wave:. I am back! I had a lovely weekend with Mum and lurked on here a bit but didn't get a chance to post much and when I got home RL kicked in with a vengeance :wall:. So I'll try not to miss anything out but I just wanted to thank everyone again for all their support. I realise now that I was struggling with the aftermath of a bug last week as I've loads of energy today and even managed to make some mini Christmas cakes – which will be Easter cakes now! Remember those Mary Berry Christmas cake packs we got a few years ago? I've still got a couple left and they seem to be fine.

Wendy, I am so sorry that you are having such a terrible time. Sending you lots of hugs :grouphug: – hang in there. Work seems to be behaving very unprofessionally and I am glad the union is helping.

Hornetgirl, I think you might be on holiday – I'm operating from memory here. But I have said a prayer for you and hope you are as peaceful as possible while you wait for your appointment. I am sorry for your loss too.

Sarahdol are you still in a huge amount of pain? Thank goodness it wasn't a heart attack though!

Miss Corrupted, I thought you opted for something else instead of the Instant Pot? Did you find a good recipe to wow OH with? Sorry if I have missed the update post.

TM, thank you for the Optiwell voucher. Remember, everyone, that if you have a gmail address it works the same if you put googlemail instead of gmail and you can also add as many full stops as you want in the middle of your email address. Website sees it as a different email usually and it just arrives safely in your inbox. Not sure I will use Optiwell but will put them in the T food bank.

aau, you are an angel :A. Thank you for the FB link to the TCB fiver. I couldn't get it any other way. Thanks everyone else for the advice re the bingo. I am very apprehensive about doing it but will have a go on the 'win some, lose some' basis. I've done very well recently with trains as I should get the 1000 Nectar points for a train ticket I needed to buy. (I did it in bed at the 11th hour so thank you to whoever pointed out it was about to expire or I would have missed it.) I have also been delayed badly on three journeys now so have had a lot of cheques under the delay repay scheme. So will try and be brave with the bingo.

Bubbs, enjoy the new car and congrats :T on being two years off the ciggies. Did you say that you bought the car with what you saved on the ciggies, or did I dream that? Enjoy your home, too, when you get back.

And thank you to the OP who posted about Mr Shoes and his kind shampoo offer. I was in London this week and happily walked from one store to another collecting mags. I had Mum's ad card with me too so managed 2 per branch. Must spend them on shampoo now -- I can see a visit to the T Centre coming up.

If you've persevered and read this far, I have some good news! I didn't post sooner because I didn't really believe it would happen, but it has. You know those British Gas emails giving customers rewards? I missed the recent bottle of Prosecco but did get a very small box of chocolates before then. Well I must have clicked a link to enter a draw and to my utter astonishment I got an email telling me that I had won a £500 (that is not a misprint!) S gift card. And it came this week. I have never won anything before (except at school years ago a bottle of Martini which embarrassingly I had been selling raffle tickets for :rotfl::rotfl:). I keep looking at this lovely silver card. I find S very expensive so I wouldn't be surprised if I end up using it for fuel – they are often the cheapest.

Sorry for the long screed and many apologies to anyone else struggling whom I have missed.

It is DS2 who partied, and DS3 who handed over the money..... but you're right it may just about put the house straight!

I am going to open a bank account so any board he pays goes into it............ I don't like taking the money but he needs to understand some value of money. He can have the money back later maybe when he gets his first house.... or I might spend it...:T:T:T:T:T

Thanks for this Anon. I have now signed up. Do I remember correctly that you can spend any amount on bananas to get the £2? Or does it have to be £2 or more please?

Found a box of 60 in S

Think it was the box I mentioned to you DM that I hid:rotfl:

Still there:)

The SA came over and put them all through in a oner. I agreed with 60 in the box....I think it was easier than saying 59 because I did a test run first:rotfl:
