Hi wants2stop,
19 days of winning well done.
Suzanne xx
Thanks guys - Day 19 nearly over and its been fine so far.
Its times like this when I am alone (OH in bed now for his early shift) and had a stressful day (generally hormonal and then oven broke today, heater broke 2 days ago and dont get paid till Friday) that temptation is high - just came on here to remind myself to stay strong. So instead of having a 'sneaky' gamble just made a cuppa and going to read a chapter or 2!
Welcome to day 20 🙂
Rubbish news about all the broken stuff & great decision to come here! Gambling doesn't aid our finances it ruins them, that's why we are all here fighting this fight!
Hope your enjoyed your cuppa & you are relaxed enough to manage a good night's sleep! Keep making these great choices - ODAAT
Day 20 - 23/2/15
Thanks ODAAT - i did enjoy the cuppa and read had a real good night sleep too (which wouldnt have happened if i had wasted money) It makes no sense what so ever as to why I would feel like gambling when i know i need money to replace the items i just think its the stress and gambling was a 'crutch' especially as i cant use food now either due to this stupid gestational diabeties. Scan today to see how little miss is growing and consultant tomorrow - hopefully good news.
Dont know if this sounds stupid but i do feel proud of myself (and obviously of all you too) xxx
Hi wants2stop,
Hope your scan results are very good news today,
20 days of winning well done you. You deserve to be very proud of yourself.
Take care

Day 24 - 27/2/15
Payday - not even 7am and spent half my wages already (d**n those bills!)
Have a good day everyone xxxx
1 hour to go and 4th target met - already had my treat (me and OH went to Nandos) - small improvement OH downloaded software to block gambling sites today while i was at work (under his own influence) only problem was that it doesnt block facebook and he gambles on there and lost 150 quid. However it is a step in the right direction. Next goal is 1 month (which will be 3rd March) - nearly there too. Already know what my treat is as i have booked a foot peel at the salon for the 5th 🙂
