Woo, I just won £25 at LittleWoods Bingo – it was with bonus money too! I have not deposited on that site since I joined ages ago but they often email £1 bonus codes that I save up and then play when they have 1p or free play games

I like playing bingo and am always looking out for new sites to play on so I read the UK Bingo News and Reviews on AboutBingo.co.uk quite often – gotta keep my eyes peeled for the mega signup bonuses that come up now and then, you can get literally £100s for free sometimes.

I never really get into the chatrooms on the bingo sites though, they all speak Bingo Lingo and it seems pretty mindless to me.

Now, what shall I buy with my £25? hehe

A 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

If you are any thing like me and every other 20-something-year-old, you probably have a ridiculous amount of electronic devices, and therefore a ridiculous amount of cables, wires and chargers!

At the moment sitting on my desk I have chargers for three phones, ipod, nintendo ds, rechargeable batteries, digital camera and my wireless headphones. I try to keep them all nice and tidy in a little plastic box, but of course it doesn’t work out like that and they end up strewn all over the place – causing the neat freak in me to cry a little inside!

It seems like I may have just discovered the perfect solution though in a product called Powermat. As the name suggests it’s simply a mat that will charge various popular gadgets such as your DS, iphone or blackberry – all without wires and the need to keep swapping chargers. The mats come in various sizes for use either at home or on the go and can charge as many as four items at a time, simply by placing them on it!

Erm, bliss.

Why didn’t I know this product existed before now?

I think with Christmas on the way and gadget loving relatives galore I am going to have a pretty easy time when it comes to buying gifts this year

I was just looking at digital cameras because I need a new one, mine has given up and packed in – which is very annoying as it’s only 2 years old, literally just out of warranty.

I don’t need a super good one as I am not a serious photographer – just so long as I can take snap shots and photos for my ebay sales

We went to the casino while we were away and boy it reminded me how long it is since I was last there and how much weight I have lost — as I was going as a guest of my friend I was asked if I had been before, I said yes but it was many moons ago — they checked my details and said it had been over 3 years and had to ask me to look at the photo on file to make sure it was me, as I weighed about 5 stone more when that photo was taken. I confirmed it was me and asked them to take a new photo lol

I think I will be sticking to online casinos from now on though, such as my favourite StanleyCasinos.com — it’s simple to use and has a relaxed atmosphere

I am about to go looking or some golf training aids because when we go on holiday next month we are going golfing, we have a free pass for this golf place that we are going to use but I don’t want to make a complete fool of myself by having my public outing being my first actual go at golf since I was a teenager.

So practice, practice, practice it is!

Watching Eastenders last night made me want to set up a book club and I instantly jumped on my computer to search for a place to Buy Cheap Books Online — then I actually thought about it and realised that I don’t know if any of my friends are remotely interested in reading so it wouldn’t be much of a bookclub if it consisted of just one person, aka me.

Oh well, I found some nice sites with a great collection of books to choose from at great prices so it was not a complete disaster.

Now, I just need to find the time to actually read them!

I used to drink a lot in my younger days, like most people I guess, but I gave up drinking alcohol a few years ago now. Initially just because I was dieting and wanted to see if I could do it and it was so easy to not drink alcohol that I just never started again.

I am sure my favourite online wine store misses my custom hehe

That’s not to say I have given up for good, there’s nothing wrong with having the occasional glass of wine and when a situation comes up that I want a drink a drink I will have!

I had planned to have a few at my friends wedding last month but every time someone offered me a drink or I went to the bar I just asked for a diet coke by default without thinking!

I will definitely share a bottle of dry white wine with my fiance when we go on holiday at the end of August, we already have the bottle of wine because someone gave me one for my birthday back in March. We are going to have a naughty day with fish and chips, ice cream and wine on the balcony.

Ah the wonders of British holidays

I work in the graphic design/video editing industry and deal with every thing from DVD replication to CD Authoring, so I like to think I know my apples from my oranges, but truth be told I am so used to using the select few pieces of software that I am trained in it becomes a complete nightmare for me on the odd occasion I have to use something else. I really should try getting better in multiple softwares, it can only help me out in the long run.

If you are a company and need help with any thing like graphic design, full full-service CD authoring, DVD authoring, CD and DVD mastering services and replication and duplication then check out VE Associates. Based in California but dealing with businesses nationwide they are a well known and respected name in the field who offer a professional and speedy service at great prices.

I hope to be able to work for a company of their calibre one day, I love my job and the people I work for but it is only a small local firm with only a handful of big clients. My plan is to either get promoted there or move on to bigger and better things in the next two years.
