My own stupid fault for gambling all them times.its the 1st time(well maybe not how can i say that when am shackled up in this flat) ive felt my gambling coming back to haunt me. . Never mind im sure it wont be the last. . A real downer. . Never mind onwards and upwards. .working throughout the weekend mid shifts so shouldn t have any gambling thoughts. . Today i did not bet tomorrow i wont bet. . We can do this folks. wp

Sorry about the phone, it does keep coming back and biting you in the b*m doesnt it?? Thank you for your support on my diary....we can do this, we are doing it and we will keep on doing it !!!! s o d the credit check you didnt want the phone did you!!!.....onwards and upwards lol x

Hi wp,

I know the feeling regarding credit mate. I earn decent money and luckily have no credit card debts anymore but can i get credit? Can i f**k! Probably a good thing really. My gambling has shot my credit rating to bits over the years.

I see Gull has reached 4 years. Amazing stuff. I reckon your journey will be similarly successful. Your determintation is admirable. I hope it is also contagious.

Keep it up mate. Loving your work as always.

Hi post,

Keep your chin up mate about phone business. It's just one of those things we all have to grin and bear isn't it. Proper pain though!! All the best staying away from gambling this weekend.

Stay Strong

Hi wp.

Thanks for your last post mate.

Sorry about the credit check!

Reckon i won't be able to apply for any sort of anything for at least another five years!Just as good really.

Hope alls well with you otherwise, and as ever well done on your gamble front!

Stay strong mate.

Viggo.

Hi wp

Really compassionate post on my diary and it meant a lot. Even when you have your own hiccups on the recovery road you are always thinking of other people and its such an admirable quality.

I hope you have had a decent weekend and thanks for the email offer - I will def keep that in mind as this issue could be a recurring one!

Was sad to miss perth this week as I love it and the social aspect in particular. Found it difficult not to go but it was a complicated issue and while I could easily have gone and not gambled, I had more than that to consider this time.

Cheers for being there mate

Hi wp

Sorry to hear you lost out on a good deal! It just shows how destructive gambling can be! In a way though sometimes its good to remember how evil it is and be reminded of the consequences. In recovery especially after not gambling for a while its easy to feel like your over it and feel like your cured, maybe its a good reminder for you. Just trying to look on the positive side of things 🙂

Anyway glad things are still ok mate,

Hi Post, do not take the knock back on the phone as anything personal--I got the same a few weeks ago. I think initially the girl put the info in wrong-she put the wrong house number, then she put my new company in as the owner but said I had the business at my home which was also not right!! In the end had to get my phone in my wife's name.

Hope you have had a good weekend--I had a great one over in Ireland.

Did you hear about the Irish phone call--Is that Dublin double 2, double 2, double 2.

No this is Dublin 2-2-2-2-2-2

-Oh I am sorry to have disturbed you

Don't worry I had to get up to answer the phone!!!!

All the best

HI wp,hope all is going well for you this week....,sorry to read that you couldn't get that phone deal,pain in the b*m!!!,is it possible that your Mum or Dad could get the deal and you have the phone and pay the monthly debit?...,just a thought.

Thanks for your continued support folks...managed to get myself a new phone but bit more expensive tarriff..the main thing that attracted me was gettin money back as money very tight so its came in.handy till Friday payday lol.

I won't bet,we can do this folks....

Hi Post,

Great positive post mate. you'll get those fingers in to gear soon mate i'm sure. I admire the way you do it off your phone, not sure I would have the patience though lol. Great that u've got tickets for the Scotland game mate (i'll avoid the obvious anglo-scot banter at this point), it's good to have something to look forward to. Good news with the ex n kids as well. Keep going pal.

Stay Strong

Steve

I would argue with the fact that it is a bonus if Scotland win the game mate--surely it should be described as a miracle if they win--ha ha.

Really good trip to look forward to and a great incentive to save your money to have a good time--as I am sure you will-maybe you may even partake of the local refreshment!!!

All the best

Hi wp.

Have a great time in Sweden.

I've been there and had a great time.Lovely Country.

Don't know if the scots will take the swedes on their own turf but even so i'm sure you'll have a great time.

The scenery is great....not just the country but the women too!

lol.

Stay strong mate.

Viggo!
