hello friend,
looks like its been an up and down journey regarding the sale.
still following from afar.
chin up and you are 100% correct play with fire and you will get burnt.
i pulled out my works lottery a couple year back and got questions like what if we win.i said i will make my money selling their dirty linen to the national newspapers lol.
needless to say they are still waiting for that life changing win whilst im £100s better off.
keep the barriers up friend.
we can do this.
best wishes,
winning post.
Yo,
Mr winning post really great to receive a post from you .
Hoping you and yours are a ok. Take care mate !
So me ok , still wanting for the exchange of contracts .
Wish they would get on with it .......but hay done enough wishing in my life ..... Standing at a FOBT wishing my big number to come in ...... To recoup the money I was down . Know you've all been there ,
So tonight lets ban wishing , be patient and know that it will be what it will be in the fullness of time . As long as we keep the faith .
Still struggling to find a routine in my new life , which is why I have not posted much in the last few days .
Will end by saying , no urges , no temptation .
Long may it continue ......
Shiny xxccc

Hello Shiny,
Big hug for you my friend ((((((( Shiny ))))))) and you are so right...patience is the key. it will come to it eventually, and as long as no harm done...you are winning the fight.
I keep my fingers crossed for you and hope everything will get sorted to put your mind at peace.
Day at a time
Take care

Shiny,
As always I agree. When I think of the times that I desperately wished for something to happen it was really desperation talking. Sitting in front of a machine wishing for one number. I feel good about myself recently and find myself not wishing for anything but just being happy with my lot. O.K. so we are not good with patience but what is it they say "Good things happen to those who wait".
I really hope that the shop situation changes and soon. It would be lovely to read a post on your diary telling us all about the sale of the shop. We could all raise a glass together.

Hi Shiny,
Thanks for your recent support, hope everything is as well as it can be with you. Hope you have much planned over the weekend, for me I have an away game of football to go and watch, so shouldn't have any urges tomorrow. In complete agreement with you that you go a certain distance and then bang those urges come slap you in the place. Us compulsive gamblers will never ever be free of them, they will just fade and grow from time to time.
Have a good un!

Yo,
Frustrating day today . Exchange of contract delayed .
Maybe two weeks , hoping the buyer does not pull out but if he does , not a lot I can do about it .
My birthday in November maybe with a prevailing wind this will be over , if not sure I'll cope .
No urges , no temptations , far better things to spend my hard earnt dosh on.
Shiny xxxxx
Hey Shiny....
You will cope ....look at me and I'm as crazy as a box of frogs and always find a way my lovely ...you are far more stable than me so as far as I'm concerned its a given that you will navigate whatever comes your way xxx
R and D and L ( my new housemate ) lol xxx
Hey Shiny.....((( S )))
Your message means a lot to me...and please don't say it was inspiring....( it actually just raised a smile on my face for sum reason) but it is horible experience and i wouldn't wish it to even worst enemy...feel broken, went to work to take time off...feel physically sick...lost, lonely, vulnerable..Jeez....what a cr** feeling...must be all that crying too....
I didn't expect it to affect me this way.
Live and learn..thank you for ur understanding and support..
Sandra xx
(((( Shiny ))))
Bless your heart...i know slips are normal....i just...never had one.....and i don't want to have another one again...I have to stop...i know i have to calm down.....simple can't at the minute...as more posts i read as more i cry...
LOL i must be tapped in a head...but hey...it's me:)
Thank you shiny, thank you all dear friends...i will get through...i have to ...

My friend I witnessed you evolve from the dusty one to something to behold, a shiny package that never stops giving.
For that is today I understand a key ingredient to recovery.
For it I thank you.
