Checking in day 132! I paid off the remaining 10k on my loans last week and I am paying for a holiday tomorrow! Exciting! Not really thought about gambling much! Easily managing to avoid the service station fruities and there isn't any football to bet on that I'm bothered about so I'm doing ok at the minute! Jealous of the lucky person who won 93million last night! Who else still plays the lottery? I've never though of it as a problem area of gambling.. What do you guys think?

Challenge Update Week 24

Intro

Just a quick update this week, as I have work later today. It’s been a pretty good week, with loads of early check ins and some good targets reached. We had Suzy Lemon hitting the big 365 and we had mrbrightside and happy days both reaching 18 months. Achievements like this really show what can be achieved, it is so hard in the early days but there are plenty on here leading the way.

So we head into week 24 with 51 troops checked in and 9 who have missed check in. We seem to be stuck around the 50 number, we rarely go much above it and rarely slip below it. There is however a good number of people who have been here since the start of the 2015 challenge and who are still going strong!

Missing Soldiers

Mo, gingermotty, Markb117, Lemon25, Thegerman, paulcorn, brightfuture, andy14, and WillDo79 all missed check in. I hope you are all still going strong and you are welcome back at anytime. Remember the weekly chatroom on a Wednesday night 8-9pm and also for anyone who needs to contact me you can on [email protected]

Once again double check I have the right count for you and don’t hesitate to let me know if I’m a few days out. Now for the big numbers, based on an average loss of 50 pounds a day whilst gambling we have collectively saved the grand total of…………………………………….£463700…………………………………almost half a million pound saved from lining a bookies pocket well done troops!

Summing Up

Clearly you can see we are all making impressive progress, 51 people fighting hard and living life! Stay strong and day by day life does get better. Hope everyone has a great week and keep the check ins coming!!!

Wow Phil that is a big dent, nearly half a million we have not lined the bookies pockets with HDs. Indeed 🙂

Lovely positive post to kick start us all off for the new week,

A massive well done to Mr B and Happy days for reaching an amazing 18 months of being gamble free, you both are such an inspiration

.Checking in on 412 days, stay strong and stay focused troops, and keep winning.

Suzanne xx
