Somebody said that it couldn’t be done,
But, he with a chuckle replied
That 'maybe it couldn’t,' but he would be one
...Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: 'Oh, you’ll never do that;
At least no one has done it';
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle it in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That "couldn’t be done," and you’ll do it
Morning everyone, day14 for me, glad to be part of this group, glad to be gamble free. No thoughts of gambling, hopefully those dark days are behind me. Have a great, gamble free weekend everyone.
Morning Spud and great you see you on 2 weeks and counting mate. Hoovering up those days like a Dyson on turbo 🙂
Sbb - like the poem, very good indeed.
Gamble free day and profile updated
Excellent dsh and delighted to see you on Day 2.
Just Rogerson to touch base. Apologies to Shakespeare but
"Rogerson, Rogerson, wherefore art thou Rogerson?" 🙂
WCAWW!
Hi all. Just checking in before I go to bed (nights tonight)
Day 15 for me.
Mix, your doing a great job as always.
SBB, love the poem.
I wonder if a group diary has ever been done before? United we stand fighting the good fight.
Here's to a gamble free weekend my friends.
We CAN and we WILL.
Hi All, I am a bit behind the rest of you but iwould love to join you all. I havent gambled online or on the machines since Tuesday so day 4 for me.Had a hard time yesterday as i was thinking if i saved up for three weeks i would have lots of cash to play the machines with but i gave my self a good talking to and am ok today. Told my Daughter how i was feeling and she said its okay you wont have the cash to go as you put me in charge of the money. Its harder than i thought it was going to be but ive never been more determined to break this habit and with help i hope i can succeed .
CN59 you will have support here, not tea and sympathy though!
Trust me when I say you are with friends here.
You CAN and you WILL.
Welcome cait.
Checking in for the evening.
I have the brickies ball tonight.
Which I spoke last night about
As it next door to my favourite haunt (slot house)
I know people will say why didn't you self excluded. The reason being that I once self excluded from there. And they didn't bat an eyelid when I strolled in 3 day's later. Hence the reason I'm not an advocate of self exclusions.
Anyway to stay on the good side I'm going to drive this year.
That way I don't have to wake up with remorse. Or in a police cell lol.
Stay safe team and keep it gamble free
97 days to go
