    Do u think u will once u payed it all of though mate? :)

    Maybe mate. Not too sure to be honest! :confused:

    I don't think they'll recognise the fact I've paid it off. Just the fact I got in it!

    Although it might stop my mum thinking I've got a gambling problem! :rotfl:

    I've not told her about MB'ing either mate. If I try and explain that I've made £5k from it she'll want to know where it is! :rolleyes:

    She thinks I have a gambling problem from the hundreds of letters every week from all the bookies! :rotfl:
