Calling all Bingo Heads

is.aspxA couple of years ago I had never played Bingo in my life, I thought it was something old ladies did of an evening – not something a hip and trendy (cough, yeah right!) 20-something year old should be doing.

Now I can’t get enough of the stuff.

It all started when I first discovered cashback sites, if you don’t use them you basically make any online purchase through them and get a little money back – anything from a few percent to £100 depending on the retailer and what you are buying.

One of the easiest ways to make money on cashback sites is to look out for bingo and general gambling offers. When new site launches they often offer you more money than you have to deposit to get it, plus you can also get deposit bonuses on top. The most recent one I did I had to deposit and wager £10, I got £28 cashback and a 200% deposit bonus (so £20) – I won a few times so ultimately came away with a free £50.

Easy money and a shedload of fun along the way earning it :)

There was another site that I made a lot of money on over around a 6 month period – I initially signed up to take advantage of a cashback offer and discovered that the site was dead in the middle of the night. Most people would see this as a bad thing as there’s no one there to chat to and the prizes are really low – but if I bought the minimum number of tickets it cost £1 and the prize each game was £2.50 – so when I was the only player it was a guaranteed £1.50 up each and every game.

I simply used to have it running in the background at night while I was on the computer any way and was coming away with around £25 per night :)

 

Twilight Rookie

I love how easy it is to watch movies online these days. There are lots of great sites out there that allow you to do it, for free, but the one I find myself on most often is Letmewatchthis.com – every time I have wanted to see a movie and gone there to search for it it has already been online, that’s pretty impressive because I have watched some really random and old movies that most other sites definitely don’t have.

newmoonI think I am about the only person on the planet that has yet to see the Twilight movie – and already everyone is talking about the second one which just came out. I decided a few days ago I was going to jump on the bandwagon and join the mass of fans who love this series.

Sure enough Letmewatchthis.com have both movies available :) What I like about it is that there are many links to chose from, not just one or two – I know megavideo is popular and lots of video sharing sites use them, but I personally can’t stand it and much prefer sites like zshare. So it’s great to actually have a choice in the matter.

I am going to watch both the Twilight movies this weekend and will report back on what I thought of them!
