Well here i am on another evening.......an evening where my good friend stuart has hit 150 days gamble free...... a testament to his courage and efforts.....

 

Went to work today and grafted.......do a fair few steps.....got a lot done......feel that i achieved a lot this week......and am happy to say that.

 

Felt like unwinding this eve and rewarding myself for a positive week at work so i bought 4xcans of jd and coke, a luxury pizza and some ben and jerrys ice cream....... cost me 16 pounds which is quite a lot but felt i deserved it.......

 

Got home and had one can playing gran turismo.......then had a bath......ate soup this evening as i also treated myself to fish and chips from canteen at lunch.......then this eve had a sausage sandwich and some ice cream....

 

Then spent cuple of hours looking at my fant team and done washing up,....... now just started my second can with some ice...........6 hours later and just had a paracetemol as ive heard its good remedy to hangover for before next morning......

 

ill save the pizza for sunday monday..........

 

boy the jd tastes lovely........allways have loved jack daniels.....

Another start to the week...... thought i may wake with hangover headache for work ...... which would have been first hangover at work for eight years....... but thankfuly i felt tired from the sundays excursions but not hangover so that was good.

 

Went to work done a fair few tasks...... kept up the momentum.....

 

Thought about taking some holiday in may....... but ill see how i get on in april and how tired i feel..... already have two bank hols in may so two long weekends so its just whether i tag any extra days onto those weekendds.  Soo far ive taken 9 days......ive got two weeks booked in june and july for footy...... then have 15 days left to take...... so im in a good position..... 31 days holiday from now is over 4 days a month for rest of the year so that great.....

 

Yesturday was soo busy...... but i feel like a busy weekend was just what i needed......  Mnaged to only spend 25 pounds this weekend just gone...... and considering i had 4 jds and coke, roast dinner, a nice pizza, ben and jerrys ice cream, a cheese and ham toastie, and about ten coffess hahaha i think ive done pretty darn well.....

 

Its come to the 20th of the motnh and that usually when i splurge a bit of money either on waitrose, lego, gaming or clothes.......... I almost bougt some bbq coal today, some peanuts for my boss, some lego, but i managed to ride the impulsiveness and thankfully i havent spent a penny today......

 

Also at work the canteen manager said i can have a free meal this week with the help ive given them..... also my friend who sends me the coffee codes sent me two today as he got his mum to get me one too his im thoroughly thankfull for.....

 

Also west ham drew so that great for spurs....... and we playing wolves saturday so ive brought in solanke into my team for this week.....

 

Night Adam

Hi Stuart....... ah thanks so much...... ur 999 post means a lot mate....

 

Yesturday wasnt on gamcare as was super tired......

 

monday  night i went to ben 230am had only 2 hours sleep then woke played computer games then went to gym for 7 am then came back went to work ended up on 16k steps for the day and was totally shattered..... so slept from 10 pm last night to 9am to cathc up...... felt really good today and got lots done....... felt like i achieved a lot.....

 

A lot happened today firstly i always go on about my savings but as i help the canteen at work they gave me a free lasagne today...... which was lovely of them...... then as i had two coffee vouchers i took a frend to cafe nero after work..... got us two mikshakes with cream and toffee sauce....... Then had a can of jd outside my flat in the sun...... then went to waitrose spent my 1,50 voucher i had from spending 50 pounds with them this month, then got some crisps 50p off, milk 50p off and bread 50p off..... and a free coffee...... 

 

So all in today i spent 95p and got all of that!!!!!! wow love it......

 

ive done 56500 steps in first four days of week this week..... so 14k a day average.....  really cracking effort.....

 

Looking to try to get thru may and start of june without a holiday day apart from bank holiday mondays..... feel like i nee da rest at some point but if i can have the full three weeks left for july to december that be great.....
