    BT increased my DD without telling me from £40 - £102.50:eek: :eek:

    I give up!!

    If they've taken payment, phone up your bank and ask for it back - it's in the direct debit guarantee. Then phone up BT, and tell them to get a grip.

    ok, red then.
    Not having seen your garden mate I cannot give an honest WOMAN'S opinion-but being a woman, I shall give you one anyway.

    paint it a nice MATCHING colour-what ever colour that may be

    Dont know whats the matter with me today but I have had my 1st go at Matched betting today and decided to ask a few questions on the beginners thread.

    I got a really sarcastic answer from one of the more knowlegable posters and I honestly feel a bit weepy. What is the point of having a "ask away beginners we will help you" thread if you are talked down to.

    Think I will have a break for a few days to get my confidence back. I havent lost any money though and gained £25 from quidco and managed to place a lay bet without bankrupting myself.

    Sigh...Need a nice cup of tea I think.

    I took a look

    and stuck my oar in :o
