    Go on then, confess, it's good for the soul apparently - how much have you spent? And what on?

    Is that not okay - I thought you wanted to pay £400!! So if you only spent £190 that is good - yes! And you must have paid for it out of your matched betting profits. You !!!!!!.. Well you did ask!

    Well the £190 was on stuff totally different to the £400 thing! :o

    I had the money for it put I'm getting into bad habits again.

    The plan is, the day I'm paid, pay whatever I had left over in my account to my debt. But I'm not doing it. I'm keeping 'just in case' which results in me wasting it! :wall:
