  • Thats brilliant !!! Well done!

    I joined a few via pigsback, but never won anything sadly!! Didn't bother me as I was getting £30 worth of pigs points for £5 so i was a happy bunny!!!

    Bingo was soo boring though - how do people get addicted to playing that game? I just bought loads of tickets and left it running - didn't excite me one bit! Probably knew i was bored thats why i never won!
  • which bingo site is that??? Having trouble with my gala one.

    Can i join the challenge?? I want to clear my virgin and my amazon card by April. Current balances are £532 and £702 respectively. Will figure out how to do a signature and put it all in there.

    Of course anyone can join.

    This was the mirrors bingo as no deposit needed to play. I did the same thing bought a load of tickets and then went and did ebay lol. Just kept flicking back.:D

    Currently I have an overdraft of 952 pounds, Im on benefits at the moment, but I want to at least halve the amount so by april Id like to get my OD down to £400.

    About £100 a month, £25 pounds a week, plus Im trying ebay sales.

    Can i join in? I am currenltly overdrawn by £188 but by next payday it will be £288. So to get back on an even playing field by april (When my baby is due!) i would like to have paid £300 off my debt total.

    £300 doesnt sound alot but im currently on a temp part time contract which ends Dec 31st and leaves me a few weeks on JSA benefit before my maternity pay even kicks in at end of jan!! Even then i'll be earning less than now... when things are tight! EEk!

    £300 divided by about 19 weeks = £15.79 a week i need to pay off!
