My Journey

Hi Diary,

Day 38

Thank you everyone for all the amazing, supportive posts....really appriciated.

Great day yesterday.....Bestie bought me box of my fave chocs...(truffles from waitrose)...yummy!

Was soooo good to hang out without a care in the world...................Sunshine...I love it!

BBQ.......was fun........and not burnt!

Been busy today...bed stripped and on line ...back on bed. Took mum shopping to get some plants . We also went to Bicester Village, not really into designer stuff but managed to snag a pair of FitFlops for bargain price.....Thats my workout taken care of now!

Just spoke to my wee one and we are really excited to be seeing each other again. Am going down Friday and coming back Sat, just hope sunshine stays with us as she lives in beautiful part of the country.

Also.......shhhh.......but may have a date on thursday................waiting on a call!

Shiny....if you read this.....saturday night............grrrrrrrrrrrrr......Can't get it out of my head..........What memorys!

Hey Lovely ....

Shinys earworm got you hooked too did it....lol..

Glad to see your week off has started well and roll on more sun...

Used to go to Bicester many moons ago with my job..took me a while to figure out they didn't actually call it Bi-cester....I was pronouncing it wrongly for ages.

Think you need a pedometer to accessorise your fit flops....see how many miles you do.lol

hugs

Hi Sue,

Thank you. I just wanted to say thank you. Your support really does mean a lot right now. I have to confess I did consider just carrying on and pretending that everything was okay but that is not me. Gambling has already taken enough from me and it is not taking that as well.

The last time I had a relapse a few people who had been posting regularly on my diary dropped me like a stone. I must admit that I was worried that would happen again. It is great to see that is not the case.

Congratulations on staying strong. It is my turn to chase you now. I just hope that I never catch you but always stay the same distance behind.

Thanks again.

Hi Sue,

I'm glad uv had a gr8 wknd 🙂

A date on Thurs, go u ..... I hope it goes well 4 u 🙂

U deserve 2 be happy 🙂

Stay strong xxxx

Hi Womble

Thanks for the post on my forum.

Haven't had time to read your thread yet, but I will cos it looks like there will be a few laughs in amongst the heartfelt issues that we all face on this forum.

Well done on getting this far and good luck for your date on Thursday.

One of the things that keeps me going through all this is an ability to still laugh, cos after all we are the same as the rest of the world just with a stupid addiction.

Stay happy and positive cos we all have great futures ahead and can all achieve whatever goals we have in life.

Regards

CBH X

Thanks Sue. That means a lot.

o*g

miss womble, date indeed .

Not that I am off vogue (blondies your girl for that )

No no no no no , do not do it , are listening DO NOT DO IT !!!

You must not wear flip flops on a first date .

Black number , little bit of clevarage, ( not too much )

, heels most definitely , oh and the reddest lippy they sell in super drug lol

Us BBs (you are one you know) have rules , standards

Widow spider comes to mind for some reason lol

I will be checking your diary first from now on, ......

Searching for updates .

So when's the date ...... Saturday Night ........ Be my baby .

Shiny xxxxxxxx

Hope you enjoyed reading that as much as I did writing it , going to go sleep with a smile so wide my jaw will hurt in the morning ..........

Hey Sue...

Hoping your bestie can also be off this week with you..

Am living vicariously through your Thursday date already! lol

It is exciting ...

Agree with Shiny on the attire if its night time although I did go as my casual self when I met my beau but that was in the daytime.

Not sure where you met this chap and no pressure to reveal. I joined an agency a good few years ago where I paid something like 300....I got matched up with about 6 blokes...met them all over a course of 8 weeks in M and S doorways around the neighbouring towns....

No one set my pulse racing but I did have a fair few Italian meals ....lol

I usually go as pub carpark chaperone these days for my pals who are dating....we have a system devised now and the ladies toilet text routine..

Have fun.....no expectations and you never know....what this space...xxx

Hi Diary,

Day 39

You guys are freekin' awesome....................

Date NOT confirmed yet.....I know, I know you all want me loved up......lol

Will prob be trip to a local down by the river Thames....nice food...nice company!

You have all given me such a laugh....thankyou x

Tell you what...I have know him for a while and we are just friends...........but....shhhh.....psttt....He is quite hunky and fanciable...in a womble sort of way! So if the date gets confirmed...will be on here so my girls can sort my outfit out........lol

If I havn't heard anything today will send him a text 2morrow!

Have had a nice day today.....washed curtains and put back up in my room, mowed garden, did a favour for a mate....driving.

Rach....bestie working lates for 2 days.....LOL

She's gutted to be missing this weather.

Did anyone see the interview on tv news channel....all about betting shops......Couldn't believe what they were saying.......They need to get in the real word to see the damage they are doing.....It's just sooooo wrong!

So for today I did not gamble!

Love to all Sue xxx

Hi Diary,

My Mum.....who is 80.......Is flippin addicted to on-line solitaire........Doing my head in. Shes lying about time spent on computer......she doesnt know I'm an expert in concealing things!
