well another day down
and what a 24 hours its been, as my work is still in the dark ages we get paid by cheque, and guess what today was cheque day so last night and during work this morning i had the urges come on strong and the thoughts running through my head i could just make a quick few quid or i could cash cheque at one of the cheque cashing companies and have access to cash but im glad to say i fought it and won because i put the cheque in to my new account and will for once have funds after the first weekend. after doing so well at that i decided to tackle more issues in the form of stop fobbing of creditors and put steps in place to sort the mess out, i have to say i normally hide from things like this but the people on the other end of phone were polite and friendly and i feel like its been a really productive day and there is in fact a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
so on that note im off for bite to eat and socialising tonight will catch up with everyones days tomorrow
keep up the good work everyone and keep your guard up
today is another day in the new chapter of my existence.
day 28

Hi Carl,
Thanks for the message buddy taken me a while to get round the diaries been manic this week.
Great post from you today. A real big step you have taken and it's amazing how you will come to enjoy money again. Just this week I feel for the first time since I stopped I am actually placing some value on money again.
Think it's also a massive step dealing with creditors. I went through the same hiding process but again like you once I dealt with them they were actually ok and quite willing to help. It's one step at a time and one day at a time but you described it best when you mentioned a new chapter. Each chapter will be more rewarding and exciting than the last providing you remain bet free.
