BINGO!

We’ve booked an extra-long holiday!

Jennifer Wootten, 73, from Chatham, booked a family holiday after winning the £1,500 Full House

ottering around the house one evening last October, I grabbed my laptop and decided to play a few games on Woman Bingo while I relaxed. My husband Geoff, 72, was putting up a new curtain near me.

I enjoy playing every now and then, as it is a fun and entertaining site with a huge variety of games. I actually won £28 on an earlier bingo game in Sapphire, which was a nice surprise! For this game, I bought 12 tickets at 25p each, again in Sapphire, where the next game was a Superlinks game, at 8pm.

Bonus two weeks

Until we’d retired eight years earlier, we’d run our own engineering business. Geoff made parts for machinery and vehicles, along with our son Stephen, 49, while I looked after the books, and although we’d travelled, we’d never been able to take a holiday longer than a week, always needing to get home for work commitments.
