Monday 1st week. Lockdown done.
So today.Â
Clean shop. Exercise. Activities in garden that is skipping. Stroll. TV.
I will take my disinfectant wipes to store with me. It will be a supermarket sweep. No strolling looking at sale rail.Â
I am happy to buy alternatives. Its like the war but at least mo. Spam or powered eggÂ
Beautiful. Outside hereÂ
Bye for nowÂ

Hello all.Â
So had a couple of wobbly days. World events monopolise my thoughts so I gave been up n down.
Today had been easier. Gambling is a remote thought in my head. It's just as I said.Â
I'll get there. We all have to.Â
This separation anxiety is awful. From everyone I love.Â
Again.. Buck up and deal with it.Â
Chat has been super x 2 today.Â
So thsnk you all for cheering me up.Â
Night n bless booÂ
???
Morning.Â
Like everyone am getting out of sync with routine.Â
Thought yesterday oh diary.Â
Why should I leave it now. Its been a huge part of my life past 6 months. So here I am again.Â
So today.Â
CleanedÂ
Messsged
Walk in park feed ducks.Â
TV film afternoon.. I find afternoon. The longest bit. I used to see friends in the morning pre virus to break my day but that will return. I know it.
Having anxious moments too.Â
Work next 2 days. Its going to be normal for me. I will not allow ying and yang to be unbalanced.Â
No urges to gamble. Only place I could would be lottery or scratch card and I can't be bothered yo fiddle about with them even.
Very fortunate. Cozy home. Cupboards full of provisions. Family n friends connecting.Â
Bye for nowÂ
Love boo ???
Morning Boo.
You may not have seen the news but scientists and world leaders have asked everybody in the world (which includes you) to jump up and down 3 times @ 1100 this morning in a drive to eradicate the coronavirus.

Morning.Â
I am at work today. So will be in chat Friday evening now as Friday is work too. By the time I get in shower etc. Food it's going to be late.
Im feeling OK. The next week. Or so is going to be harsh if we are to follow the overseas pattern but we must feel positive.Â
Gambling is a distant thought with me at the mo and I trust folk out there are reaching to here for its offerings. Its a good time to give up if you can. It's a decision I don't regret.Â
So hi ho hi ho ti's off to work I go..Â
Enjoy your day all..Â
Stay safeÂ
??? BooÂ
Morning diary.Â
So another lockdown weekend.Â
Guess what..Â
Cleaning
Exercise
TV.Â
Food in between
No gambling not even the virtual national with proceeds going to NHS so am going to have to find another way to do are something.Â
Other than that. Mood calm. Restricting news etc social media as it is too hyper..
Stay safe allÂ
My love booÂ
???
My apologies for leaving chat hastily today. I came to relate how I felt certainly not to encourage any single person to gamble, and to say how I had worked through a little dilemma.Â
Suffice to say I was made to feel my conversation. Should not have been spoken about or mentioned in the gamcare forum. It can take one person at times to shake a complete confidence.
I have to ask my self am I too old and too ugly for this anymore.Â
A fatigued with it all todayÂ
Boo.. ?
Hi boo
I'm so sorry if I upset you or said anything wrong.
i didn't realise at the time it was about how you felt I should of.taken !ore notice.
i personally am not against people talking about anything to do with gambling.
I.do.wonder that with the virtual grand national how many people will.open online accounts.
Well done on not acting on your thoughts.
sorry again you have always been supportive and nice to me.
take care
Debbiex
Lord no Debbie. Rest assured not you. Perhaps I wasn't articulate in my narration.Â
Anyway ill be back later in chat later. But it was the cause behind the event which tempted me but in the end i gave the right call.Â
Thanks Debbie xÂ
?BooÂ
Hi boo
I felt that you raised a great topic before by mentioning the virtual grand national. With the proceeds going to the NHS you believe it to be a good cause and not s form of gambling. The harsh reality is that any form of gambling can trigger anything off which is why like you I decided not to take any participation in the event.
Sometimes in life the topics we bring up can effect anyone but the best way to get through these situations is by talking about it openly and freely.
Hope you're feeling better
Packer
Hello packer. Thank you. Yes I know sometimes certain topics are cruel to be spoken of. But it was a genuine reason that I spoke of it that it had tempted me and even though its meant innocently it's futile for us to do.Â
Your support means, a lot.Â
I'm fine. Put it down to a bad day.Â
Boo ?
Morning allÂ
Sunny with a slight breeze hereÂ
So today its routine cleaning and sit in garden. Nice.Â
I've got a book and the jigsaw I can do.Â
We will gave some nice food.Â
Gambling thoughts are way off today after yesterday's thoughts,.. I keep thinking what Debbie said about the reaction yesterday's event could have on folk going online?
Anyway. Let's hope that doesn't happen.Â
Have an easy day allÂ
My love boo ???
Morning.Â
Drizzly here.Â
Grey skiesÂ
. Pity it wouldn't wash away all the troubles out thereÂ
Pretty much a muchness of the same day today as most days off now. I'm not complaining about lockdown. I'll stick to it as long as.
No thoughts on gambling. I wasn't an online gambler before this and do feel for those that still use this means during these testing times. I expect the two local casinos by me will be jam packed once open . Again with lockdown and little to do I hope they use there better judgement and don't use monies saved. Which is to me a huge advantage at the minute.. Only buying shopping and petrol and paying bills.Â
Anyway all have a good day.Â
Bye for nowÂ
Boo???
Good Morning Boo,
Thank you for your kind words on my diary.
I’m glad to see that you are coping with the lockdown and doing the best that you can. We all just need to get our heads down and get through this while staying safe and healthy. I suppose that is all that matters.
Life will return to normality in time.

Affected by gambling?
