Day 341.
The weeks are just racing by!! A gorgeous bright and sunny day here 😎. I was off yesterday - first part of my day was to attend a family funeral 🥲. Later however, I was booked in to have my hair done as a treat! It felt so nice paying the £80 and a fiver tip to add! This came out of one of my little savings pots I have been adding to on a weekly basis - not a lot but it soon adds up once you forget about it!👌
Off out today with my lovely sister. Training it into town 🚃. Booked in to have my iPad looked at. I accidentally scratched the entire screen when it slipped towards me whilst I was using it and drinking a cup of tea at the same time. It caught the claw of my diamond ring and continued all the way to the bottom of my screen. Right in the middle too!🙈. It was like slow motion!😭. On the plus side, it has not concerned me about how much it is going to cost/can I afford it?
We are then booked into a nice tapas for late afternoon lunch and drinks and our sister-in-law is joining us too 👌🥂🍾.
For anyone reading this and just starting out on your journey, I don’t wish to rub all of the above in/dismay you. Rather, I just want to put it out there, how much more you can be “normal” and enjoy your life without gambling.
Don’t get me wrong, you have to remain patient, especially in the early months and stay committed and even consider putting mini goals into place, which I feel, really do help you to remain positive. The benefits of which, really do outweigh the costs of continuing to gamble 👎.
Take care all and remain strong and focussed 💪🙏.
