    So, if any of you are getting reload offers from people like ladbrokes, and william hill (they are the main ones that come through), and you want, pm me and I will direct you to the guy that I use!

    All sounds a bit too "Nudge nudge wink wink" for me.... think I'd be out of my depth.
    Still not sure about Mystery Shopping never mind Matched Betting!:rotfl:
    Perhaps that'll be a NY res. Thanks though :)

    Thanks SH...........its been a long old slog, though, for things to get nice. Previously the same things would just have given me a slightly lesser feeling of dread as the next payment date loomed :o
