Hello Scotty my dear friend. Hope you are keeping well. 

Many thanks for visiting my diary, your kindness and humour brought a smile to my face.

Everything is good in Hull. Ducks still paddling around the old docks and they are always pleased to see me ???. Or maybe its  the moistened mealworm they are pleased to see ?.

Hello Scotty. Hope you have made a good recovery after the vicious assault on you. Bouncing back from something like that will have been very difficult but the wounds will heal, confidence will grow and your courage, strength and resilience will never leave you. 

Hope you have been able to get out for walks with the Scotties during January. Getting out in the fresh air always makes me feel good. 

Many thanks for visiting my diary. Your support has been a great help in my recovery and your success in stopping gambling has been a constant source of inspiration to me.

Best wishes

Many thanks for visiting my diary Scotty. 

Next weekend you will be celebrating 2 years gamble-free and I will certainly be fist pumping the air as a sign of respect for your great achievement. 

Despite having to cope with traumatic events, along with managing your seizures, you have soldiered on relentlessly and in doing so have proven yourself to be a man of courage and honour.

Hi everyone not been on for a long time so I always seem to share bad news so I thought I would share some good news me and Mrs Scotty are going to be grandparents we were shocked at first but now we are get a little bit excited now. It’s not be all plane sailing I have had some very bad moods and came so close to gambling again but this news has made look at my life and know I can’t put the past right but I am the only one how can make sure I keep up all the hard work I have put in place over the last 2 years I could not have done it with out the help of gamcare and my long suffering wife so thanks to all my gamcare friends

Wonderful... I too became a gran this week, after last year being so horrid, my daughter had an ectopic pregnancy too so reduced chances of baby.. But our grandson arrived this Monday.. He's adorable ? boo
