    Hope you feel better soon Elfen. American History X is a great film.

    Lou, what exactly is matched betting, is it using the free bets they offer?
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Well if I can do it then anyone can but you do have to be confident and do a lot of reading before launching in, otherwise it can cost you big time.

    Had a couple of scary moments myself:o

    there are a few bugs going around, both my DD's have had D&V for the last 2 days, not been pleasent and now i am totally knackered being up all night with them cleaning up after them, then coming to work :(

    anyways hope you are feeling better soon
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
