The hospital negligence came about when the trust (Royal United Hospital Bath NHS Trust) failed to imform her fully that she might have breast cancer and subsequently failed to send her for a second biopsy (although the court hasn’t decided whether that would’ve caught the cancer or not.)

Anyway she died (sadly) partway through the proceedings, so her husband (a nuclear engineer) took up the fight for justice and thankfully won.

Then he managed for a couple of years without wetting once and I thought that was it, and he was sorted for life when he suddenly started wetting again. This was more frequently than before, he would wet around 4 times a week to start with, and after a month or so he was wetting every night.

I managed to combat the issue by lifting him at around 1am (exhausting for me though!), although I don’t agree with lifting as its not helping him learn to get up, its just a precaution rather than a solution.

Took him to the GP who asked what had changed recently, I racked mybrains and there was nothing that lept out that had been changed in our lives.

Anyway, one night shortly afterwards (whilst he was still wetting), he fell asleep on my bed and I hadn’t the heart move him before I needed to, so I left him asleep there whilst I went to tidy up downstairs. I then watching some late night tv (naughty me!) and ended up falling asleep on the sofa, with him fast asleep in my bed.

Woke in the morning and realised what I’d done. Sprinted upstairs expecting a wet bed, but he was dry (and happy!) and more importantly so was my bed.

Now the strange thing is we have the same bed, so it was surprising that he hadn’t wet mine, but in his bed the next night he wet. Put him back in mine the night after, and he was fine.

I was walking past a bed shop the next day and realised that the difference between our beds was in fact not the beds (from same shop at same time) but in the mattresses. Despite it being a very small chance that it was in fact the mattress I went and ordered him the same mattress as I’d bought for my bed when mine fell apart.

And that was 6 months ago now, and he hasn’t wet the bed at all since having a new mattress. The mattress in question is a memory foam mattress deluxe 700 from the memory foam mattress direct people at http://memoryfoammattressdirect.co.uk/

The study suggests that bingo isn’t only played by the older generation, with many young women also choosing to play. Bingo is said to be played by 31,000 Yorkshire women every week.

The women of Yorkshire are not only playing several times a week, they are also winning a sizeable chunk of the online bingo prizes. The study indicates that the Yorkshire ladies account for ₤18 million in bingo prizes every year. Many of the women rate online bingo as their top activity and 12 percent prefer playing online than having sex. Online bingo is more popular with 22 percent of the woman than going to the gym. Many prefer to play online bingo than go on Saturday shopping sprees.

I remember last June at my local Bingo club there was a lot of talk regarding the then upcoming smoking ban. Indeed, The Guardian newspaper covered the story claiming it would cost hundreds of jobs within the industry, as numbers of visitors to bingo clubs were expected to fall sharply. And with sites such as Littlewoods Bingo now offering people the chance to play from their own home the future of bingo clubs looking a bit glum.

Have you seen numbers are your local club fall?

While the numbers have fallen slightly here, I don’t think it’s such a bad thing – I’ve been winning more than ever!

1. Find a game with as few people as possible. Although large numbers of players increases the jackpot, it’s going to far less likely that you’ll win.

2. Make friends with other members of the bingo site. They can help you seek out the best times to play and advice you on specific rules of the particular site at which you are playing.

3. Look out for sites that offer free online bingo cash. This can be used to help increase your profit margins.

4. Bingo games that offer chat special bonuses can provided extra winnings. These chat games involve you typing into the chat area of the bingo software and offer the chance to win big jackpots.

5. Be patient. That first win may prove elusive at first, but trust me – it will come eventually!
