Toad. Threatening to break peoples necks! Do you not think you seriously need to seek professional help. You are clearly in a very fragile state of mind & I'm highly concerned about your emotional wellbeing. Please make an appointment to see someone asap before you hurt yourself or others. Wish you well
​
Thankyou Dean8008.
Dayatatime,
My mental health is fine. Stop putting Toad down.
I am okay there is nothing wrong with me.
Toad.
It was well meaning advice, your choice what you do with it. If you think threats of violence normal then we have very different views of what is good mental health

Hey Toad. Although I have just re-joined, I have been reading diaries on and off for the past few months. You have put a smile on my face and even made me laugh out loud several times over the past week - thank you. If you do have a gambling problem (and I'm still not sure that you do to be perfectly honest) I wish you the very best of luck. Sometimes it's good to give an edge of humour instead of the dour higher power stuff. Whatever get's you through Toad, so long as it doesn't get in the way of others' recovery. Wishing you well Toad.
Hello Twinklyr,
Thankyou very, very much. At last I have a positive post. That was an uplifting post. Thankyou again.
I genuinely do have a gambling problem. I am lucky enough to be debt free and own a property outright. I do not have any savings though.
I know my diary has not been great. I have went from one disaster to another.
But I need to change my tactics. They are working to an extent but i can always improve.
Thankyou again for your upbeat message. It says alot about you. I wish you all the very best in your recovery.
Terrific Toad.
Day 1,
Morning Everyone,
Just had a light breakfast with the wife. 2 eggs lightly fryed and a Banana with tea.
Getting the clothes washed for another week ahead. I'm working 6 days this week with running and the gym 5 nights. I need to keep busy.
Today is a gamble free day. The turfs are closed on a Sunday. No online accounts so I am safe today.
I hope this week I stay away from temptation.
It is difficult for me these days. I am still off alcohol aswell. Hoping to go alcohol free for 2 months then I'm off to spain with a few mates for 3 days. Then i'm on the draught beer.Toads head will be spinning. Hopping around on one leg, bar to bar. Living it large.
That is one thing I have mastered. I know how to enjoy myself. People ask what's life all about? It's for having fun. Surely that's the best reason. Living the life !
Another reason to avoid gambling because it's only fun when you win. ( which is rare )
Okay I'm going to hop off here I have things to do. No resting on my lily pad today on frog avenue.....
Toad.
PS.
Q) What is a toads favourite time?
A) A LEAP YEAR 🙂

How was today toad?
Noticed you said the bookies are closed by you on a Sunday. That must be a relief...there are hundreds open close to me!
Hello Gary1976,
Yeah the bookies don't open on a Sunday here. Good day. No gambling.
Tomorrow is the start of another week. I hope it is a good one. I hope things are good for you Gary too.
Toad.
Hey Terrific Toad, good to see you are on good form again today and that you will have had a gamble free day. You're not going to let yourself down tomorrow because that's not how Terrific Toads roll (or hop). Best of luck for the week ahead .
Twinklyr
Hello Twinklyr,
Thankyou for your comments and I hope you are keeping well.
Another day is over. I will bring a little cash in tomorrow. I can't take any risks.
I had a good quiet weekend.
I want to let everyone know that Toad is not a violent person. I am a good person as I give off to someone in the chatroo ln yesterday. My green membrane turned red with anger.
I hope everyone has a good day tomorrow. I am getting a bit sleepy now.
Tired Toad.
Day 2
Morning All. Here we go again. Brace brace !!! Another week in work, another week in the rat race.
Feeling a bit tired today. I just need to get through Monday. I always find when Mondays over the rest of the week usually isn't too bad.
No plans to gamble today. I got my allowance of ВЈ60 last night. Clever Toad has just brought £15 today. For a toad i am smart. Keeping them barriers high as bull rushes. Go toad ! Go toad ! Clap your hands, fist the air for toad.
For the millions joining us around the world

He is the fierce Toad two Jabs.
In the blue corner is Thomas Two bellies greedy Turfs.

Good morning Toad,
I wish you well this week BUT last night in chat it was only going to be ВЈ5 - today you are carrying £15.
Hopefully the blue corner won't be victorious but I feel your guard is down
Ding ding
Hello Balvaird,
You are right what you said. I did say £5 last night. I just brought a wee bit extra.
I feel strong today. I won't be near the turfs. Keeping the turfs away with my jab.
Toad.
