When you have young kids, you certainly end up spending a lot more time at home than when you were young free and single. And though being a mum is great, there can be times when you’re at home with the kids all day that you feel a little bit isolated.
Of course, having kids brings you into contact with a lot of other mums, through nursery, playgroup and school. But sometimes, you can suddenly feel like you only ever speak to other mums, and talk about your kids and their kids. It’s good to find new people to chat to. One easy way to do this without having to book a babysitter is to meet people online. Playing online games can allow you to meet new people really easily.
Many of the multiplayer online games have chat rooms, but if you’re not into proper hardcore gaming, there are plenty of alternatives. For instance, all the bingo sites host chat rooms too. So when you login to play at a site such as 32red, Tidy or Cheeky Bingo, you can also enter the chat rooms and meet other players there.
It’s not something that costs a lot either. For example,
32redbingo.com give free playing credit when you first sign up. There’s a £10 no-deposit bonus for new players registering on the site, and then if you put your own money into the account, you’ll get £32 of credit if you put £10 in. That amount of money goes a long way in these games – many start at only a few pence per game, so it’s not a hobby that’s going to break the bank.
Online bingo’s a great game to chat alongside as there is very little required in terms of player participation. Unlike land-based halls, where you’d have to concentrate on the number calls to make sure no-one gets in before you, when you play online, the software does the concentrating for you. You can simply watch the numbers being marked on your cards while you chat to other players of the same game.
The chatrooms are always cheerful places to hang out as everyone’s there for the same reason – to have a laugh while they’re playing a game which just might bring them a big cash reward. Even if you don’t have a win, it’s still a bit of a buzz if someone you’re talking to has a win – and you get to congratulate them if you’re there when it happens. As well as other players, there’s always a chat moderator present to make sure everyone feels included, and to introduce chat games for people to win extra prizes. The chat games aren’t hard – it’s more about being first to type in the right answer. And you never know when you’re going to be lucky or not – but some people win more on the chat games than they do on the real bingo games!
Anytime that
you’re feeling a bit lonely and want some grown-up company you can always find it at an online bingo site. And as each game only takes a short amount of time, they can fit perfectly into those moments when the kids don’t need your undivided attention too. Try it out for yourself and see who you end up meeting!
