OK so today day 15 they say it takes 31 days to break a habit so here gosh,the hardest part at the moment and will be for ages is the financial car crash it's left behind.this morning my daughter wants the new school uniform the school have changed their uniform great!all her friends have it but I haven't been able to afford it I got really cross but I'm angry at myself I have direct debits to sort today,I have 4 payday loans 2 other loans borrowed money from both parents!it's terrible I won't have money for a long time!the test will be when I do have spare money!
I never got the £3000, but there is a site on line that can help you fight it I found! I'm going too leave mine, it was a few months back and I'm going too leave it be, all my loses are in the same box and have too be written off in my head other wise I would drive myself insane! Yep, I just wrote on my diary about becoming super mum again, each day too seta little challenge is a great idea! My boys have been deprived of their happy mum I feel, so they deserve an after school trip too the park I think! So small but something I had limited time for , sounds terrible, but gambling really does effect everyone around you, keep going, your doing amazing X
Yes I'm not sure whether to just leave it it does drag up bad feelings altho I think it's bad these companies get away with it il have a think don't want to sell my sole.im thinking how I can afford to sort my daughters new school uniform she said she doesn't want to be the last one to get the new uniform but this week I have loans and council tax it's so stressful I'm trying to sort but younger daughter swimming lessons it's good to do normal things!x
Personally I would leave it but that's easy for me to say I just feel you have to let the money go.
As for the loans and council tax I called all my lenders and they was a lot, I was honest told them what I was doing to stop and that I wanted to pay but could not meet my requirements all apart from one was a great help freezing unrest setting up a manageable plan that allowed me still live and buy the things I needed. Give them a call you might be surprised at the help they can do for you alternatively you can call step change who will help deal with your lenders on your behalf at no charge.

God why does this thing hit you when you least expect it I had a crazy thought as I was walking back from the school run I wonder if I could win enough to pay for my daughters school uniform w*f!2 seconds later sane mind kicked in but scary!
Does anyone else feel a"lose feels like I've broken up with someone" like I want to call them but I can't as I know it's destructive
Your so right feeling better it's just the money thing that worrys me now but I know it will get better
Hi Dm , sorry I just posted on your new members page , didn't see the one you had here !
And before all the others join in , yes I am old , thanks guys :))
And in answer to your question yes you do feel a" bit of a loss" but then realise why do I want something that treated me so badly ? , just tell gambling to do one !!
I know your so right the sick feeling wanting to hide under the duvet getting moody with my kids for asking anything of me (particularly money as I'd spent it all)I am starting to respect money something I didn't before I can get through the week on £30 something I was spending in seconds !
And by the way age is just a number and it's never too late to teach an old dog new tricks I no way mean I'm calling you an old dig he he x
Dog even where did dig come from bloody predictive text!u recon your bad
Cheers LOL, I can see youv'e latched on to the name branding already , you'll fit in just fine !!

Also know what you mean about wanting our problems gone...now I'm not gambling I want to diet be size 8 get a dog and a sports car and a house with a swimming pool ohh and botox do you think I want to much???really funny from a woman who couldn't afford some milk ha ha
Joking aside Going to definitely set goals tho haven't taken kids on holiday for 3 years quite tragic when you think I'd waste that in one binge I have little jars of pennies everywhere but I must tackle the payday loans and tick those off each month so I feel I'm bring positive the debt on total is around £16,000 .so goals yes goals and not silly ones that I can't achieve altho I would really like to be size 8.......il start the diet right after this beer and mars bar lol
So just the bottom then deano lol
