Giggle for the Day: Impregnable: A woman whose memory of labour is still vivid. LOL!
Mother’s Day is coming up again! Being a mom is no easy job but it does have its rewards. If my kids know what’s good for them, best I get breakfast in bed and a homemade card! LOL. We know how hard all mom’s work so at Giggle Bingo we are looking to give out some serious Mother’s Day rewards.
Please check out the Mother’s Day Weekend specials – happening all weekend long!
So let’s settle in for a while and chat away about what’s been happening and what’s on offer!

Wacky Bingo News
Stacey Solomon is Celebrity Mum of the Year 2011!
The nation's favourite single mum, Stacey Solomon, has today been awarded the coveted crown of Celebrity Mum of the Year by the British public.
The down-to-earth Dagenham girl seems to have hit the right note with the public as she fought of stiff competition from a host of famous mums including her 2009 X Factor mentor Dannii Minogue and 2010's Celebrity Mum of the Year, Holly Willoughby.
Aussie-based Dannii was hot on Stacey Solomon's heels in the voting until the final few days when Brits plumped for home grown talent and loveable Stacey stole the number one spot.
Despite a well-publicised comeback from Kerry Katona, who has won the award twice previously, seems yet to win the public support she craves, finishing 8th.
The blow comes just days after Stacey was announced as the new face of frozen food chain Iceland - a role Kerry previously fulfilled until 2009.
Stacey, who juggles her career with being a mum to three year old Zac, stole the nation's heart when she was crowned Queen of the Jungle on ITV's popular reality show, I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, earlier this year.
The star whose support from the public appears to be going from strength to strength has also been signed alongside Vernon Kay to star in her own quiz show.
Noel Rowse, competition organiser said: "She is a down to earth person who is in the spotlight for the right reasons. Her attitude towards work, spending quality time with Zachary, and her likeability factor has clearly struck a chord with the voters."
The top ten celebrity mums are as follows:
- Stacey Solomon
- Dannii Minogue
- Holly Willoughby
- Amanda Holden
- Katie Price
- Coleen Nolan
- Victoria Beckham
- Kerry Katona
- Kym Marsh
- Billie Piper

Twenty-eight Roomies hit their chosen Bingo Ball for Life numbers 53 times last week. They each took home their share of the weekly £1,000 jackpot.
Take a look at these two lovely testimonials from previous BBFL winners – kellsbellsx & harrison196:
“I am thrilled to have won a BBFL this week. It’s a fantastic site to be on - I wouldn’t go anywhere else. With the 18.86 I’ve won I will be using it to buy extra tickets to try and win more BBFL for next week. What I enjoy most about this site is its so friendly- the CHs and roomies are like family.”
“I have only been a member of the site for over a week and could not believe it when I bingoed on my BBFL. I will be treating myself to something nice. It has been really good fun playing the chat games and the CHs are very helpful and I enjoy everything about the site as well as all the players, they are very friendly.”

"Mom..."
"What?"
"I'm thirsty. Can you bring me a glass of water?"
"No. You had your chance. Lights out."
[Five minutes later]
"Mom..."
"WHAT?"
"I'm THIRSTY...Can I have a glass of water??"
"I told you NO! If you ask again I'll have to spank you!!"
[Five minutes later]
"Mommm..."
"WHAT??!!"
"When you come in to spank me, can you bring me a glass of water?"

This recipe for Gooey Chocolate Coconut Bars is a delicious treat and includes a recipe for cream cheese and cocoa icing.
Gooey Chocolate Coconut Bars recipe
Serves 8
Ingredients
For the base:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
For the topping:
120g (1/2 block) cream cheese, at room temperature
4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 egg
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Directions
Heat the oven to 180°C and spray a medium square pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a 4cm overhang on the sides, and spray the paper with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined. Add the butter, egg, vanilla, and almond extract and mix until the mixture forms stiff dough.
Carefully press the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Set aside.
For the topping, cream together the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl until smooth. Add egg and mix well, then add the cocoa powder and vanilla and mix until well blended. Slowly beat in the powdered sugar until smooth then fold in the coconut.
Spread the topping evenly over the base then bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the centre is a little wobbly. Cool for 40 minutes in the pan before lifting out and slicing.
Good luck! If you have any recipes that you would like to share with us, then why not drop us an email? If your recipe is published in the newsletter, then you will receive $10 bonus in BBz. |
