    Also, fab that you've made around £3k on matched betting. I stalled at around £1,200 - ran out of bookies, apart from the 10% bonus bet ones and I couldn't be fagged depositing £100 for a £10 free bet, taking into account the cost of "earning" the free bet versus what you win from that £10 free bet... Just laziness on my part...

    Same here SuSu, got to £1600/£1700 and got a bit lost. A rather lovely yellow fellow took me up another £90ish ;) but I've only done a couple of glaringly obvious offers since then and not gone looking for more :o

    Congrats on the new milestone SS, it's almost one a month for you! :T :T :T

    Not nearly as old as that, you cheeky git! :D

    It's my date of birth. 1 August 1971. SuSu's what my nephew (now 19) used to call me when he was little, and it's stuck with the other nephews & nieces (all 9 of them!!!) and now it's what my family/friends know me as. Not SuSu at work, though - wouldn't sound too professional for a :eek: 35 year old (how the HELL did that happen??? I'm sure I'm still 23 :p )
