Spending five thousand in six months or thirty k in three years is not manageable and as ur on twenty k a year salary u must be spending absolutely nothing on socialising or on consumer items or u must rack up a lot of debt. Try to make it manageable mate

Mate I put that it's unfair for people to slate you all the time. It's your diary and you can write what you want. If people don't like it don't read your diary. But then I thought better to keep out of it.

Hi all,

Firstly can I thank adam choppin. Some great advice there. You really are right. I'm struggling to stop so maybe i need to manage my money better.

But i do eventually want to stop.

Today was a disaster. The bookies was packed and i couldn't do it. So it was a failure.

Thankyou boro for your comments too.

You know i do feel sad as i got angry on here and give off so sorry for that.

Loxxie i loved your comment and the pea green boat lol

What i do know is that i want my wife to continue managing my finances.

Without my wife my life would have been so bad. She is everything I could wish for. I'm glad I was able to help us get our new house. Gambling nearly took that away. Thankyou Mrs toad xox and the gamcare people.

Tomorrow i will bring £5 to work for lunch.

I need to take it a day at a time.
Toad.

Paul, why are you being so disloyal to her by lying and gambling behind her back, yet praising her on the forum?

Words are cheap. Actions talk.
