Change - you are keeping strong and that is brilliant. Keep it going, how many days now!

KP - our bank balances should be noticeably improving. All of a sudden, there is a bit of free cash floating around. What a feeling!

Katiecoo - we are steaming it and will continue to make huge inroads as we kiss goodbye to misery and say hello to a happier, more interesting, life at-peace ahead!

Thanks for the positive comment over on my thread.

I have taken the time to read your diary and can see your drive and positivity in everything you write.

Dont lose that feeling, i grasped it two months ago, and have nurtured it and helped it grow inside me.

Things can and do start to turn around with positive thought.

This is a lifetime battle and i pledge to stand beside you.

Right, off to my counselling. 2nd appt of 13. A round trip of 2 and a half hours all for a 50 minute appointment. Worth it? Absolutely.

I have promised my counsellor I am not going to gamble whilst I'm on these visits. She is taking the time out for me, Gamcare is funding it all. It would be bad form, discourteous and unacceptable to let her and Gamcare down. So I will stick to my word.

WCAWW.

Your post, and your helping others, is great to see, Rhoda.

We can do this! WCAWW!
