    I think im right in saying i can count money saved - today i cancelled my mobile phone insurance which was £30 every three months.

    So do i count £30 saved or £10 as that would be this months figure?

    Its all very confusing lol

    There's no right or wrong way to do it, to be honest. The main purpose of the thread is to act as a motivation to keep doing moneysaving/making things every day (even when they get tedious!)

    Personally, I'd count the £30 saving as that is what you would have ended up paying. I find it more motivating when I have a good start and it encourages me to keep going and hope to reach the £300 target at the end of the month!

    Good luck. xx :D

    'The worst of it is that I had to deposit £10 of my own money in the first place so looks like I've lost that too as I'm not going to risk another £10!!'

    I didn't quote all of what you said re Wink Bingo but as their email goes on about contacting them if you need any assistance etc, I really think it woud be worth a try telling them that you deposited in order to withdraw, so as they have reversed the withdrawal would they please reverse the deposit as well. Seriously, I think they should. Also, in the 'my account' bit, you have an option to 'reverse' the transaction so you may be able to get your £10 back. Its worth trying!

    The money hasn't been credited back to my bingo account yet so I am trying to get that back and then seeing where I go from there! I'm not counting my chickens though!

    There's another thread talking about the same issue with Wink Bingo on the Gambling Loopholes board so I'm not alone! Just wanted to warn you all to stear clear of this one. (At least I've had my fair share of payouts from cashcade bingo in the past!) :rolleyes: :o

    They've all worked fine for me, and when you sign up they don't ask for bank details, so it is a much quicker sign-up form. They all seem to have 5p games as well, so I generally just play 20 tickets on a 5p game once on each site. KC, just posted on your diary - you're doing fantastically at the moment, keep it up!!!

    Thanks Panda!!! I was slowly arriving at that realisation (i.e. doing it all at once), but you've sped the day, and that can only be a good thing... thanks again on the congratulations.... I so want to be debt free, really want to keep going till I get there. Will pop off to mine and then yours. See ya...

    Karmacat, you'll be debt free in no time if you can keep going at the rate you have this past week! BTW, I lost on all 9 out of 9 Futsal bets! So we've learned 2 things today: Futsal ISN'T a type of lager, and gambling IS a mug's game (if you're using real money, which I thankfully wasn't for this little experiment)!
