Ah you see I think of a gem as something I value the quality and beauty of highly ?. Laters x
I have reverted boo. I really didn’t suit Katz!
Aha... You are the Mata hari of gamcare murlo aka katz ?
So 11th draws near.. Do we put our congrats on your diary or will there be an anonymous drop in for that day? Let us know.
Sister was easier today.. She was doing a jigsaw ? genetics.. Sounded OK tonight after visiting hubby too.. Its been a long few daysÂ
I'm OKÂ at the minute.. Wish Debbie would drop by.. But happy days on hols I hope.
Hope everyone gets sorted and settled.. That everyone can find a level of comfort and support.. I for one have fallen in with a wonderful set of support.. We certainly share the same wool..
Next to family and friends I find on waking I think of gamcare buddies and bonds formed and on going to bed.. Few months ago it was when could I next get to casino.... They say you can't buy happiness.. True gambling proved that.. Happiness is out there though and I'm. Savouring more of it each day
Nite n bless boo ?
I love the warmth of your posts, feels like a great big cuddle when I read them ?Â
Hadn't really thought about 100 days. I would like my old diary to be retired and I might want to diary something that day so I may just have a one off 100 day page!
night n bless little gem ??
I love you Boo. What a beautiful post. I also find my mind wanders at points throughout the day to my GC buddies. I was a bit miffed today that them visitors wanted to have a "working lunch" so I couldn't go on 1pm chat.Â
I like it. It breaks up my day. When you guys say what you are up to and it isn't gambling, it makes me super happy. As everyone moves further away from their last bet you see the normal stuff seeping back into their lives and it's wonderful.Â
Checked out the sale rail in Sainsbury's tonight. Thought of you x
Love from Drama x
???? Lovely drama.. Thank you.. Glad you are feeling OK
Boo xxxx
Goodmorning frosty Thursday.. Brrrrr.. Toasty toes today
Got that feeling of anticipation as I say I get some mornings. It will pass.. I won't gamble money has gone anyway now to bricks n mortar
Today..Â
Clean.Â
Take stuff charity shopÂ
Then shop
CarveryÂ
Hospital visit

Might do another reflection piece for my nursing reval. I do feel I need to start my new jigsaw as I am reaching needing a project to distract thoughts. I also have a dvd on the go.
Nights are getting lighter which can only be good..Â
Hope everyone has an easy day. I will quickly call into chat as I have carvery at one..Â
Go easy allÂ
BooÂ
?
Ooh carvery, I am hungry now. Have a wonderful day my little gem ?
Have a local delicacy and coffee on me ? BooÂ
I might just nip out and do that ?
So.. Night timeÂ
A good day.. Sunny n bright.. The carvery was nice but they were short staffed so long queue of quarrelsome hungry, busy people, waiting for food. I was sandwiched between two such women, it was like stereo.. ?
Anyway from there went to see bro. In. Law.. He's doing OK.. Still a few more tests to do. Still on intravenous medicines.. He's on the gastro ward due to the fact that alcohol has caused problems.. He's an ordinary working bloke whose habits involve having a bevvie or two after work with mates but it's time called on that one now. Adjustments to be made so its setting out as I say a battle plan. Sister sounds happier now.. He's to stay in a few more days but rather that than come home to soon. My sister doesnt know about my gambling and nor will she.. I'm steadfast on that.. And now certainly isn't the time. we can get through this ? love and teamwork... X
The jig to be started soon.. Plus sister had one for me to do also... Busy busy...Â
I think I'm fairly beat now for today..Â
Apologies if diary doesn't make light reading..Â
Nite n bless boo ?
Â
Boo, I am so pleased that your brother in law is doing OK. Sounds like they are doing comprehensive tests for him. Have everything crossed for a speedy and full recovery for him.Â
I have an image in my mind of the carvery experience, stereo moaning sounds painful! I hope the wait was worth it though. I treated myself to an oatcake today because of your inspiration ?
nite n bless my little gem ?
Thank you.. Yes I have a feeling of confidence and support.Â
As for the oatcake.. I take from this addiction all the positives.. A small thing like this one of them. How we open up each others world.. Its wonderful ?
Boo ?
That is great to hear boo x
It is wonderful boo. Opening up others worlds. You have inspired me to check out the local delicacy for every place I visit for work now. Â Tomorrow it is Nottingham. I think HP sauce was invented there so I can feel a sausage sarnie beckoning. I can think of you every time I tuck in to something ?
Friday morning.Â
Hello diary.Â
Well not sure what I am doing today yet. Other than the initial stuff, breakfast and cleaning.Â
I feel tired to be honest in a bit of a lethargic way. Im thinking a milestone is needed again to be set. Nothing long term.. Any suggestions would be good. I can't think of anything off the top of my head.
It's cold and bright out. I've slept well.two positives.. ?
Perhaps some days are just like this.. Waiting for me to fit into it instead of having to plan it.Â
I won't gamble.. Thats definetly not on the agenda. ?
So off to get dome food and ponder.Â
Catch you all laterÂ
BooÂ
