    well done !
  • Thanks.

    I honestly don't know what came over me. I am normally so very sensible and wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. At the end of it, I haven't lost anything more than what I had earned on the other bingo site (Which I only used as a way of making money with GP, and have not touched since)

    I will at some point, (but not at the moment as I know it's not going to be an issue) close all the rubbish sites I have joined as a way of earning GP cash, just in case!

    Thanks so much, I knew I needed a kick, that was why I said so. If I hadn't confessed I would have mulled along and given in I think

    Thanks

    Suggest you downlaod this now. You can't uninstall it, but that's the idea:

    http://www.gamblock.com/index.html

    You have to pay for that one, but there are free ones available (no responsibility taken, etc....)

    Thanks, I've never been into gambling, and on that principle I don't even do the lottery, so I think I'm ok.

    LESSON LEARNT!
    Today's a new day and I don't feel like I did yesterday.

    Thanks

    Have you tried doing the family lottery instead? You each select 4/5 numbers and put a pound in a jar, if the numbers come up on the national the winner gets the jar contents, if not it's a rollover. Good way to save cash and feed the gambling habit!
