    Ye but gambling can become more addicted than drugs... Think about it. When you get some amount of cash then you think if i get it one time i can get it another time and you spend all cash you have got

    I have messed my life up.

    I went on the gambling site, as i felt down wanting to go out cos i have controling parents.

    basically they ask you to go over everything and they record it.

    then ask for all your ip address.

    also she stated its a well secure site so she says it will be someone in the house.

    now i have to go to the police.

    I haven't told my parents as they told me not to gamble, also i the game i played a couple times, my dad jokes why do i not play that again.

    i just want to kill myself, with i never laid hands on that site.

    even the staff that talk on the site just look young people

    Are they saying that you won't get your money back?

    Have some posts been removed recently? The last two posts don't make any sense to me so I'm guessing something has been removed since I was last on the thread a couple of hours ago?

  • Tell your parents, Dannii. If you want to gamble, it's not bad if it's controlled. So long as you're not a problem gambler, I doubt they'll be angry. Playing a few games, or betting on the horses every now and again isn't bad - it's no different to playing the lottery or buying scratch cards. It's nothign to be ashamed of.

    And definitely go to the police, today. You will be able to look your local station's non-emergency phone number in the phone book, or on their website. They will be able to direct you to who you need to talk to.

    Keep strong.

    just to let you know i told my parents :)

    Target Cash Net Worth: £25K by January 2012

    19.0%; May-09 40.0%; May-10 63.0%; May-11 58.4%; Jun-11 58.5%; Jul-11 58.9%; Aug-11 58.7%; Sep-11 59.0%
  • Hm, it's 6% now. I thought they'd got rid of this. I think I'm interested... it's just where to find the money from to put 2.5K in... I don't want to waste that rate by applying too soon and not having as much as I possibly can have in there. I'll get 3K in May from my Barclays Monthly Saver... And I've 2K in AA now... do A&L send faster payments anyone? This beats an ISA hands down, which is what the Barclays and AA funds are waiting for at the moment...

    Remember your Quidco cashback when you apply! (£45!)

    what is it about 45 cashback when you apply ? i click it says theres an annual fee of £5
  • Quidco is great. Yes there is a £5 annual fee, but you don't have to pay this, it's deducted from your cashback. So if you don't earn £5 in one year, you won't have wasted the annual subscription fee. Since February 2008 I have earned £533.04 by shopping through Quidco (I've had two annual fees deducted for Feb 08 and Feb 09, so I'm due another in the next fortnight - I don't think £15 was much to pay to get the other £518.04). The largest single cashback I ever earned was on car insurance for my mum - £90. I split it with her though :P

    To use it, all you do is go to www.quidco.com, type the shop you want to purchase from in the search box, and click the link to their website. Then buy as usual, and a couple of hours later you'll get the cash back added to your account. You may have to clear cookies first, in fact it's best practice to do so; I can explain how to if you're unsure.

    Easy peasy.
