    Umm.... I just won another £70!!!! :j :j :j
    Feeling a bit guilty now as this site hasn't cost me a penny to join, having got cashback, so I am going to play away £10 of the winnings and keep £110 :D Are you sure this can be withdrawn?

    Marky, are bingo winnings tax free?
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    Partymagic :wave:

    Fellow frugalites :j it is truly humbling to realise the level of non-expertise we are qualified in :j

    keren do you really think any frugalite has chocolate just lying about the house waiting to salvage a culinary disaster :rotfl:

    nyk I am green with envy at your Bingo win. I couldn't even figure out how to actually play when I looked at the site. Still don't know how I managed to put a bet on the National with Betfair.

    I went out for a meal with a friend this evening. However, it was with my share of the savings interest. I got a little inebriated when the waitress got my diet coke mixed up with my friend's vodka and coke. I thought it was the chili I had eaten that was making it taste funny. My friend had gone out for a smoke and when she came back, I was talking like a budgie. She knew what had happened as soon as she tasted her drink. So I had to get DH to take me home.:o
    In mitigation, since my weightloss surgery, a small amount of alcohol has a huge effect on my ability to remain vertical which is why I don't drink unless I am at home. It is also agreat problem remebering how to spell and hit teh keys on the laptop.

    I'm not playing, I set it to auto play and minimised it, I'm in Country section of Gala playing Cyberdosh :)

    Edit - I ticked 'autodab' and it plays by itself.
    Edit again - I hide in the 'stables' :)

    It bounced back out into my account within seconds :rotfl:
    Have to wait to see if it credits back to my Electron card in a few days then it will be winging its way to the savings :j

    Can't believe I did it really. I don't bet. I only put the bet on the National because of the £50 cashback and when I won £8 I thought as it was "free money" I would risk £10 on the Bingo. If I hadn't been slightly inebriated last night I probably wouldn't have done it

    Well done Bingo Winners.

    Thanks again Shaz on your comments re the client accounts. I was just really wondering if accountants can hold funds for a business that that business's customers are paying to that business? (Are you still with me?)

    OH has an interview for a part time job this morning, so please, please everybody keep your fingers crossed.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.
