    I managed to win the wednesday bonus ball again at work yesterday so £10 for a 25p stake.
    £9.75 to add to my total,:D but think the oldies may stop me playing soon as have now had 4 wins in last few weeks.:o

    Tried some of the free bingo , no luck again, but thinking of giving this a miss as it is so time consuming and boring, think I could use my time better doing something else:rolleyes:

    It's a good point about the bingo SophiesMum, I'm just going to do it while I'm on the PC anyway doing other things - the music may send me insane though :rotfl:

    I like the idea of the challenge JumbleBee - I tried this with my OH with 20p (we only had 40p at the time) but it was too small to really get much! So I'd be up for this. What about if we get something free, can we count that in too?

    Oh, OH picked up another 5p last night for me, so that's a whopping 30p in my IB so far - only £234.70 to go! SophiesMum, you seem very lucky! Fancy coming over here to lend us some luck? :D

    Thats good to know about the bank. I tried to open a HSBc current account a few years back and they wanted to see the ID in a branch but my closest is 60+ miles away :eek:

    Think i'll give it a go and apply thru quidco anyway and see what happens.

    I'd be up for a challenge. I think I should look at ebay closely, i have lots of stuff that could go,
    MF aim 10th December 2020 :j:eek:

    ...I did remember to log in to claim my free bingo tickets today, though, so anything I might win (doubtful) will be put towards this challenge along with any interest made from stoozing.

    happy116.gifI've just won £50 on free bingo, it was in the account when I went back to check for more free tickets! Signature updated accordingly. :j :D :T This is only my secod time ever trying the free bingo and I've had it running in the background all day. I am sorry for doubting the possibility of a win earlier.

    Bails - we could set up a 'money for nothing' challenge by selling free stuff?

    but i think it would be interesting to see how much profit can be made from 3 cycles of £1 investment....

    you could do both at once and see which one makes the most profit!
    ....hm that reminds me i have lots of free sim cards to try and sell.....

    ps gonna have to try out the bingo next week!

    Further to today's £50 win, I won a further £70!! :cool: Going to play £10 of it as I'm feeling a bit guilty at never having spent any of my own money and have updated my signature with my winnings. Monotony of free bingo paid off this week, that's for sure! :D

    Hi,

    I have now printed one of my stories and put it into the envelope ready to send off to a magazine. And as soon as I sealed the envelope I realised that I hadn't written a cover letter - doh! My name and contact details are in the header of the story so I am just going to risk it that I come across as rude and send it off. Fingers crossed. (I did attach SAE so I hope I got something right.)
