When the kids are away (in bed), the adults will play (online Bingo!)

For a couple of years now, Ste and I take turns when it comes to Ethan's bedtime routine and he can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour and a half to fall asleep - which means that we don't really get all that much time to ourselves. When my day starts at 6am, and with us both working full time, there's a lot to pack into our days, and even more so when Ethan starts school in September, so we have to find small ways to fit in some 'me time'.

Of course, like many families, we love a bit of a box set binge and often there will be hubs watching one thing and I'll be watching something else on the iPad, although there's a couple of things we are catching up on together at the moment.

At the end of a long day, a bit of telly is called for, right?

We are also guilty, like most people, of spending a lot of time online, be it watching YouTube video after YouTube video or, in my case, catching up with my social media feeds. And occasionally, Ste will pop online, play a scratchcard or other online game, and win a few pounds here and there.


We don't gamble regularly or on a big scale - unlike other people in the family who seem to be pretty lucky at winning big every so often - but we do like a flutter now and then . Who doesn't? Whether it's a trip to the dog races, picking up a scratchcard when you do your shopping or playing bingo online, there's lots of ways to try your luck and see if you can scoop a prize.

I like games like bingo as they are easy to follow and just a bit of fun, and you can choose to spend what you like and play at any time. My friends and I used to play bingo and it always reminds me of holiday too, so this at home online is a great way to have fun or unwind at the end of the day - and you can spend a little to try and win a lot.

There's so many sites out there, it can be hard to know where to start - although to save time and help you find the best offers, Boomtown Bingo should be your first stop. It's an online bingo review site, so you can spot special offers such as this Swanky Bingo promo code, where you can currently get £15 to play with no deposit required. It makes picking a game simple and if you're looking to have some fun and like a game of chance, you don't actually have anything to lose with offers like this.

Do you like to have a flutter now and again? Are you a bingo queen? And how do you like to relax when the kids have gone to bed?
