Hello all.

im zoe a newbie and have decided enough is enough with my silliness...
My weakness has been online bingo and slots.

Im a mum of 5 beauties and have the most amazing hubby to be!

I never get a minute in the day and found myself sat every friday eve with wine and laptop...i guess i often thought i will win big this time. Of course i never do
Granted i dont gamble big....ВЈ10 here, £20 there.... but i gamble! And it soon adds up

I made a new year resolution not to gamble and have broken that many a time. 🙁 im disappointed in myself and last night i realised i wasnt even enjoying playing,its just become a habit and i woke today determined to be strong and break this habit

Ive been reading some diaries on here and they are so inspiring.

So heres me day 1 and im going to prove to myself and my hubby to be that i can do this! 🙂
