Well you didn't actually expect USEFUL advice from me, did you...??

I am frantically wracking my brains to think of a new money making scheme for you...but my brains are not co-operating! :rolleyes:

immoral_angeluk

lol only you snags...

I know, kick K and Ash out of the house so they qualify to sell the big issue? They could take Lewis too for the added cuteness

immoral_angeluk

Not sure lewis would be too keen on being on a lead though!! lol

immoral_angeluk

Arrrrrrrrrgh I was really tempted to have a go at a matched bet then but I'm too chicken! lol!

Toto

I've got that going on too sar. I know I should but I can't get the spreadsheet bit working for me, I'm good at spreadsheets usually but that one confuses the hell out of me.

immoral_angeluk

Same here! I just don't get the spreadsheet at all.. I get the logic.. play one lay bet on a team on one site and the a backing bet with around the same odds on another site for the same team and bobs your uncle.. but I know it's not that simple so I'm very wary,.
I just don't get gambling..

Funnily enough I don't have a broomstick, cauldron or green face with warts either.

Hi IA

A lurker quickly out of the closet.

Ref your electricity, your gas/electricity people have NO BUSINESS telling you they'll up your DD to £76 per month and you just have to lump it.

They have contracted with you to supply you with energy and you can just abandon your by-the-month payment plan with them and pay them in full within fourteen days of your quarterly bill if you like. The energy companies don't like this as having everyone on lovely by the month plans are great for their cashflow. B/Gas tried to up me from a £25 p/month payment plan to £56 p/month payment plan because my bill when it came in had £8 owing. I politely told them to foxtrot oscar and said if they didn't leave my £25 per month alone (which suited me obv.) and let me overpay as and when necessary by internet I'd cancel the DD and pay them by EURO cheque when the paper bill came and let them have the hassle of a fourteen day clearance cycle! Why don't you try calling them again asking for your credit and telling them you don't wish to change your DD (they need your consent to do this under DD guarantee) and you are big enough and brave enough to monitor your own account without buffering their balance sheets?

*back to the closet for me*xx
