    Yes, but I have now been banned.........was good while it lasted though!

    I will have to think of another way of getting money in! I think March will be an ebay mad month!

    Well done on the bingo hypno. I was the same once I had gone through all the bingo sites. I kind of thought to myself well what now??

    I'm car booting in the morning and planting a load of bedding plants to sell today.

    Well done again

    Just had a quick skim-through catch up! It's fantastic to see everyone getting so much paid off.

    I wonder (or maybe I've missed it) how much we've paid off between us so far?

    I haven't paid anything extra for a while, so my total is still £3397.95 but Payday next week, so I'll look forward to updating when all the usual stuff has been paid!

    Well, have finally seen my total move along a little. I had £55 stuck in a bingo site from ages ago that i finally managed to withdraw. It wasn't one of the free ones but one i had signed up through quidco about a year ago. I had won right at the end, £40, and then forgotten about it for a while. I logged back in after about a year and it said my balance was zero, i knew that wasn't right, so i got in touch with them and they claimed the £40 was what i had spent playing bingo last time. I knew it was a load of rubbish so did some digging and found proof that they owed me my £40 winnings. Couldn't believe they were trying to get out of paying me it. Sorted it out and they said i needed to play a game straight away in order to keep my balance, so i did and won another £10! So that money is now winging its way to my savings account.
