Diary of boo radley

Russ.. Firstly banter as you like.. My sense of humour is as wicked as the next person's. 

Secondly its open house chat.. Don't feel. Like you have to walk on eggshells. Chat is as we were or I'm not coming back. 

I just had a flash of envy at my passing years and the youth some have on chat. No more than that.. If we cannot laugh at ourselves who can we laugh at. 

So. It's as we were..no other options russ.. Not even cake would bribe me.aPlease don't worry or apologise. This recovery isnt something we put a plaster on and it heals overnight. It makes our feelings and emotions manifest randomly.. I love chat and don't want to change anything about it

Nite and bless 

Boo

Thanks All for popping into my diary. 

Funny how at times we look at the monetary loss side of gambling which takes our eye off the ball on the bigger values it gives us. 

Thankfully its been a transient thought this evening and hopefully a decent night's kip will refresh me for anew 

Nite n bless all 

Boo ?

Good morning lovely Boo. I hope you managed to get some good rest last night. Go easy on yourself today x

Goodmorning.. Well restless sleep but that's as per usual after my 12 hour shift. Overthinking the day at work. Did I complete all my tasks. Did I give my student enough to learn ?? it's always been the way it's been after work.

Despite that feeling chipper. 

Got today's agenda. Quite relaxed one but meet with friend. Coffee. Shop. Catch a film. Do some work for my nursing revalidation. 

I will make a gratitude list ready for my big day 70 gf tomorrow. 

My friends lovely daughters birthday today. I remember the telephone call like it was yesterday from my friends mum telling me of  the birth. That was a special Christmas ??

I know what last nights little blip inmood was about.. Someone I haven't seen for an age at work commented that I was still working and that she will be retiring in just over 12months.. That her daughter has a fantastic job with good pay and that daughters Godmother is loaded so sweet future.. Even with no gambling my future wouldn't have matched  what this lady has plans to do. When I also explained we had moved house 4 years back and in the throws of renovating this one she said., 'oh what on earth do people do that for'. I didn't answer. I don't have to justify my life to anyone. Suffice to say our last house just didnt feel like home even though we spent a lot on it and the neighbours were joyless creatures. I did at that point want to say. I am a recovering gambler you know. Its like an illness.. I didn't but these occasions recognise our recovery. Not every day will be a kind one. I think also I fair better at the minute with chat twice a day but yesterday was a no no on that one. You could say I have come back today kung boo fighting.. People of a certain age will get that one?

As much as I do believe though I don't think it does ever to plan too greatly ahead  because I think sometimes don't let God know your plans because he laughs at them. I say this with no disrespect to anyone else's faith or belief.  

Anyway.. That is now history.. But I move onto payday today... So best be getting me jam jars sorted and the money deposited in correct order..

One scottie boo. Fed watered. Answered call of nature and now asleep ???

Chat later.. Thank you all... 

My sages and councillors on gamcare have a happy fulfilled day 

Love from a chipper boo ?

You are doing great Boo, I'm well proud of you. Good and bad days come as long as no ? it's all good. 

I'm fine today thank C. H... It is as you say.. I've sorted my next few days out then it's Christmas. The one day of the year the actual casino is closed. 

Actually boxing day was a day I would go while hubby went to footie.. Won't be happening this 26th because working 12 hour shift... 

Yes next week might be temptations with season.. But have book in tow.  Dvd.. Runs planned and new jigsaw. And some money in the jam jar for kitchen stuff. 

All avenues covered I think 

Boo.. ?????

Night time.. 

Chat has been lovely.. Haven't opened my milk tray yet. 

Watching Lucy worsley tudor Christmas.. I think she's chief curator at Hampton Court and I enjoy her TV. History. 

Tomorrow I have the Prince and the pauper at our theatre in the round.. Matinee. Christmas treat. 

Feeling relaxed.. Trying to think how best I can help some on chat with new years eve. Not my time either but those who love it then do enjoy it.

Hopefully the rain will cease. I still have couple things I need to get but i will be local market produce Christmas eve now. 

I will be spent up. But well fed and watered. 

I'm going to sort my wardrobe next week for homeless shelter.. In January we are doing a run and having a collection point for people to donate 

Thankful for a day no gambling. Thankful for gamcare and chat. 

My life now seems to revolve around runs. Jigsaws. Books. TV. Dvds. Sale rail at tesco and sainsbury and making sure I have time to call into gamcare chat... I know I shouldn't be saying this but I'm thankful that gambling has bought me to this.. No apologies though gambling you are not on my Christmas card list 

Sleep well all. And awaken to a positive new day 

Love boo ??

Ps. Yellows don't worry about not being able to cook. I'm like ria from butterflies.  You may have to you tube that one 

Boo ?

Nope.. Ria.. I just enjoy eating.. 

Off to read.. Catch up on your sleep murlo ??

It's goodnight

From 

Boo and and little miss Aberdeen.. Hey I could bring little miss boo to chat new years eve.. No one would dare turn a scot away

?

I love Butterflies, of an age to remember it well.  We should all be allowed to bring our beloved pets into chat. I suspect most of us have one. My old girl is on my lap.

Night Boo, enjoy Gracie and your book x
