I'm a married mother of three children, two boys and a girl, and was born in Germany in the 70's (I'm not giving my age away by divulging which year) to British parents, my father was in the Royal Signals at the time. Spent a whole six weeks in Germany before moving back to good ol' Blighty! My biggest hobby is obviously internet bingo now but when I get the time I also like to spend time being a proper coach potato. Unlike some of my colleagues I am not a fitness fanatic, takes up too much energy!

Originally I was dragged kicking and screaming to a land based Mecca Bingo hall when a friends Nan needed someone to take her to bingo. The thought of blue rinses and bingo wings had me break out in a cold sweat but I loved the game and even won a few pounds on my first trip.

Watching television one day about 4/5 years ago I saw an advert for Think Bingo offering a £5 welcome bonus and decided to chance my arm in the world of internet bingo and I have never looked back. I’ve been in the online bingo industry for quite a few years now. Being a player led me to have an interest in not only the game but many different aspects of online bingo and as such I took a job as a bingo chat host.

Working as a bingo chat host helped me to understand the internal workings of online bingo from the flip side of the coin and I created a few bingo chat games and tournaments in my time as a chat host.

Having experience on both sides of the fence when it comes to bingo online led me to create BallsUp Bingo and many hours were spent visiting all of the online bingo sites that we have supplied bingo reviews for.

Online bingo is an ever expanding business and with new bingo sites launching all the time we are kept busy in the provision of bingo news and reviews and have seen many changes since the inception of internet bingo.

Like many of my fellow authors I love playing bingo online and hope that the knowledge I have gained in my time as both a player and bingo chat host help to provide you with the tools required in choosing a bingo site to play at.
