Thank you for the fire lecture update Boo, we did enjoy imagining for a bit what it might be like ?
I hope your feet are suitably pampered xx
Here we go.. Evening round up.Â
Well pleasant day. Blip this am. Wanted to gamble but then thought its cold out and I want to reach 100 gf for that telegram off HRH Mixer.Â
The book will begin in a day or two. Relaxed now and tired.. Field of dreams is a lovely film murlo.. Am hoping taken from a book of the same quality.
Fredas list is heartwarming.. Suppose its an opposite of my room 101.. So I have both ends of the spectrum to balance things out now.
Reaching 3 landmarks this next coming seven days. Which are

All for now.Â

Thank you for not waking me up writing your post Boo, I slept like a log! Have a good day at work x
Well think chat set me back a bit tonight thinking about age and money I had and lost. Money I'll never ever see again or likely to recover. I know no amount of logical talk will move this mindset ever..because that is in essence what I have done gambled away my future financial security.Â
Think I'll sleep on what to do next.Â
Feel like I am lacking incentive and direction..
Tomorrow's another day.. Can only wait and see what it bringsÂ
Night allÂ
Boo x
So sorry chat was tough Boo....Maybe it is time for one of Freda’s lists?
Give your wonderful Aberdeen boo a cuddle and I hope you can sleep well xx

I'm going to find a story that I read, it's a very short story. It's about the perception of money and how it doesn't really exist. It's a good story. brb. x
In a small seaside town the holiday season is in full swing, but it's raining so there is not too much business and everyone is in debt. Luckily, a rich tourist arrives in the foyer of the small local hotel.
He asks for a room and puts a £100 on the counter, takes a key and goes to inspect the room located up the stairs on the third floor.
The hotel owner takes the money in hurry and rushes to his butcher to whom he owes £100. The butcher takes the money and races to his wholesale supplier to pay his debt.
The wholesaler rushes to the farmer to pay £100 for pigs he purchased some time ago. The farmer triumphantly gives the £100 to a local lady* who gave him her services on credit.
The lady* goes quickly to the hotel, as she owed them for her hourly room used to entertain clients, and lays the £100 on the counter.
At that moment, the rich tourist is coming down to reception and informs the hotel owner that the proposed room is unsatisfactory and takes his £100 back and leaves. There was no profit or income but noone has any debt and the towns people look optimistically towards their future.
The End.Â

xoxoxox
I don't know.. I think chat is just reinforcing the stark facts of the damage I've done.. Which have to be faced
I have to reconsider my future plans.. Certainly the retirement ideas have been scuppered..Â
Sometimes it's just too heavy. Whst little working time I have left now won't make big changes for the time ahead..Â
I have to convince myself that it will and coming here isn't all for nothing..Â
I'm a bit on the hamsters wheel... Just going round and round driving me self dotty

Nice little ditty drama xx thank you so muchÂ

Please don't think too much on money Boo. It's not real. It's just a promissory note. Even if all the money in the world was finite and they printed no more, the powers that be can still put an arbitrary value on it. It's all nonk really.Â
Recovery is real. Choosing to do the right things every day is real. Knowing that your future without gambling is so much brighter than your future with it.Â
You are doing so well. I would hate to think of you suffering over something as insignificant as money.Â
Be well.Â

You're right our sage drama.. Its just at times thoughts can get you cornered..Â
I'm OK now.. It was just the way I felt earlier.Â
Money should never be the God we worship and I will do a gratitude list the next couple of days as murlo said..Â
But for now some sweet sleep.. Now if I hadn't got gamcare those thoughts would have sst and festered. But they have been blown to the wind now.
Sweet dreams all and thanksÂ
Boo ??
Sweet dreams Angel. N'nite Godbless.Â
