OMG Froggy!!! Fantastic.. You gooooo girl.. they hate you because you're beautiful and you won 200.00!!! More reason to love them

Way to go Froggy, let them hate you! :)

Oh it was so much fun guys. I've never won twice like that before. You could hear the ladies saying Oh she won again.  LOL

I went on to play some party bingo and I won 17 there. Good day for me. Thanks for the congrats .

Well, well, well..  Look who's back in the UK playing bingo! I had to resurrect this topic to tell you all about my latest experience. Gala Bingo was where I have always played BUT it turns out that MIL (mother-in-law)  was banned so now she goes to Mecca Bingo. I took a deep breath and hoped she hadn't already stirred up trouble there.

If anyone recalls her shenanigans, she always blames the caller for her losses and shouts out "FIX". She seems to think that there's some sort of conspiracy against her.

So anyway, I was already an online member, all my details were in the system and it took no time to get my membership card.

I thought that I had a pretty good handle on the Janner accent of the South West but I got to talking to one woman that proved me wrong. People who don't understand a language always have this silly smile on their face and nod a lot because they have no idea what's being said to them and I had it. I must have asked her to repeat herself three times. All she was trying to tell me was that she loves the weather in Spain compared to the rain in England.  :O

The bingo was comparable to what's offered at Gala but the prizes tend to be a bit lower. The bingo hall was actually an old movie theater, which was really cool. I've been there twice now and on my first visit I dabbed but this time I got the electronic bingo machine. One guy won 6 times and MIL was getting very worked up but luckily she didn't cause any drama.

I ended up winning two lines for £5 each. Not a big deal but it's always nice to have a win no matter how big or small.

:D If someone wins more then once, except from me, I think it's fixed.

At least you ended up playing on a high note.

Made me chuckle seeing that your MIL has been banned from Gala. LOL

2x£5 is better than nothing Froggy- congrats!

Yep she was banned for a year. She was caught sipping a little something extra mixed in with her bottle of juice. The staff actually walked over to her and wanted to smell the concoction in her bottle. I'm surprised it took them this long to catch on. She's like, why pay for a drink when I can bring my own from home. Never a dull moment with that one, I swear!  LOL
