    It's woolworths. Yesterday I tried to deposit into virgin to play but they wouldn;t let me. Wasn;t doing anything wrong though and wasn;t trying to double up on free scratchcards.
    Oh well. we'll see.

    Haven't checked Dooyoo this morning Jen but my reads have been down over the xmas period.
