    there is a site called receive-sms-online.com on there it says when entering their number it has a + before the number, so a UK one would take the format of +44795008XXXX

    that doesnt make any difference because when i tried it i tried +447 i tried 00447 and i even tried my southern ireland sim which was 003538 and neither worked.

    As for your question Paul mines is an o2 -uk pay and go sim, the southern ireland sim was an o2 - ireland pay and go

    41/90. A very slow day for me... I hope this picks up in the late hours.
  • Will look out for the collectors bills from Monday, thanks for posting as would have missed that otherwise!

    Also, I had the SMS problem also so I have replied on the Facebook page, thanks for letting me know.

    hey all yes ive been awake since yesterday and i made my goal yesterday
    been working on gifthulk most of the day though...
    Just thought i would share some images to show the advantages of using a virtual system rather than your own computer.
    as the offerwalls are mostly the same for both SB and GH and they both claim to be adaware and spyware free which is alot of BS considering i can see the slowdown and see all the pop ups and the no choice installs of programs

    97673476.jpg

    70505700.jpg

    These are hijackers,adaware,spyware and they can also give backdoor access to hackers etc,

    Now there is a way to download there's no guarentee it will track but it will protect your computer from all of the above and your own precious files etc, you will however need an install disc such as windows xp/vista/7/8 or you could also use a free source operating system, personally im using windows xp 64bit but my os behind it is windows 8 64 bit you will need to run the version of windows as the same version as your own computer like 32 bit has to be 32 bit you cant run 64 bit on a 32 bit computer.

    Anyway credit given to Thrifty felicity hopefully i spelt that right you will need to download a simple program called "Oracle VM virtual Box Manager" then install it and choose the version of windows/OS you are going to install then make sure you have the hard drive space if for example it says 10GB for windows xp ignore that and use about 20GB as with updates and stuff you will be downloading you will need the space.

    once you install a clean version before you get started with doing all the walls etc, do 1 thing rename the install as Clean Install, then right click it and chose "clone" and you want a full clone not a linked, then you can destroy the new copy and not have to worry about the lengthy reinstall of the original operating system again, you might think system restore might work but it doesnt 90% of the time when you install loads of programs.

    Hope this helps someone :)

    Good Morning,

    I'm looking for a second pair of eyes! I fancy a little flutter on the Derby today and thought if i could sign up to an online sports betting site I could earn SB's to boot. I can only find casino gambling in the special offers and a william hill iphone app but i dont have an iphone.

    Can anyone see an offer that i might have missed??
    Taking control, one wasted penny at a time
