  • Wow Taxi you have some big wins with Gala and I'm glad too... Would like to know your secret though, is it bingo you actually use your deposit on or something else... All tips welcome :D

    Hi everybody:hello::hello:
    What a nice positive day I'm having today:T:T......I've ordered a £10 sainsbury voucher from Toluna....the £5 from lightspeed has arrived in my paypal account(so I set that up ok):D:D:D.....I've paid £455 off the Halifax CC today and £40 off the BMI one :D:D:D:D...I've been driving around in a BMW 1 SERIES and what a lovely smooth drive that is :D:D....and I have the money from bingo to look forward to:D:D:D
    As for winnings it's just luck I'm afraid no tips really.I won the £1k on scrathcard on gala and the rest I won on bingo....I've never won on free bingo though.
    Hope everyone is having a good day xx
  • Hey what a lovely day, you deserve it after the last few weeks.

    Hi taxi, so glad to hear that your luck seems to have turned. What a rollercoaster - extreme bad luck followed by extreme good luck.

    How long do you get to keep the BMW. I've never even been in one, let alone driven one.

    aww great to hear that taxi...emotionally I hope this will enable you both to move, financially too, on from the crash without as much finncial stress. As for the driver whats done is done, oh safe, you get new car and while I am sure from prev posts it will have cost you (sorry dont get all the ins and outs - struggle with my basic finances!!) but this should ease the pain a bit! Hugs for ya! When do you get the shiny new taxi?

    I should have had the new replacement hire taxi this afternoon but he got back 5 mins after closing time to the licensing office so he has to go first thing in the morning and he should be around by 9.30am..all done..it's just a plate he has to pick up from licensing but I can't drive without it as it's illegal.So everything will be ok in the morning.
    I still have the BMW it's a lovely car and will go back in the morning...I expect my new Vauxhall(ours not hire car) will arrive at the dealership around about monday or tuesday....thats the next lot of stuff to sort.
    DH said when we are debt free he will buy a BMW..it is lovely but don't know how much they cost..probably a fortune...at this rate I will be working through their whole fleet ..lol...seriously with this Octavia being brand new everything should be fine now xx
  • Hi Taxi

    I think the 1 Series starts at about £16,000.

    Well done on another win.
