Sorry Loxxie , stupid just posted to himself instead of you , durgh !
Loxxie , that coul be your next bit of Diy , building a stage in the bar , or have you got one ?
We could all come down as the three muskateers strip show , me in my whites and chef's hat , deano in his village people hat and Martin in a flat cap with a whippet , Soz Martin I don't know what you dress like at work ? How about the mad hatters ? .
e***n genius , I suprise myself sometimes :))
I used to wear the chefs whites for about 10 years probably the only time in my adult life when I had my gambling under control partly due me running away to a place with no bookies and Internet gambling didn't exist.
Now I'm all suited and booted well I say that I have £8 primani pants on my £4 George shirt and my black Nike trainers on because I can get away with them instead of shoes.
Right im off to catch up on GoT too much fun has been had on here today

5 months ago today I took my last spin on those online slots...
5 months ago today I made the decision to STOP
5months ago today I arrived here lonely...scared...ashamed and feeling like a awfull wife..mum..and friend. ..
Today...5 months later after tears. .explanations. ..hours of sole searching....facing demons...looking at everything in my life in depth....fighting toothe and nail in the early days to abstain from gambling....and yes it was a fight to get to this day....now I like to think I'm recovering from that time in my life when slots were all I cared about.....I'll always be recovering. ...I'll always work at my recovery...today and everyday....because for me it's taught me who I want to be....how I want to be....and how I want to live....openly. ...honestly....and the best person I can be.....
I've got the strength and understanding now to deal with lives ups and downs without the need to run to an online slot machine for cover. ...I will always respect my gambling addiction for the hold it out over me.....but I will respect myself more for kicking it into touch ...stay safe guys....and fight everyday for a better life xx
I just wanted to stop by and say congratulations for your five months gamble free. I always read your posts and it's good to see you doing so well. I'm sure it hasn't been easy, but anything worthwhile seldom is. Being able to respect yourself is a great feeling. You have my respect too for kicking into touch. Keep on, keeping on. LifeBegins x
Brilliant post cant wait to get to 5 months gamble free still going to feel the effects for many months been applying for loans to pay off high interest payday loans without success everywhere I turn more blocks to stop me moving forward but I guess it's my "punishment and I have to suck it up I just need to get the strength to get through this x
Just wrote letters to both my water companies stating I was struggling and a small payment fingers crossed x
Hey lox hope u r well today xxxxx
Yes all good thanks dizzy...and you I hope ...glad to see you've started to think about getting the debts under control....for me ...once I'd done that it really helped me move on...if they
don't accept the first offer. ..keep trying...good luck x
Hey Lovely Loxxie , how you doing hun ? Looking at your 5 month post pretty well I believe , sorry I missed it darling , things got to me a bit but a few deep breaths and I'm all good again , thanks for getting your boxing gloves on thinking they'd silenced me ,LOL !
It's always nice to have a goodun in yer corner !
Hope yer busy in yer bar and alls well with you and yours .
Talk to you soon Hun xx
Hi Loxxie , Glad to hear the rooms almost done and when you finish putting those little smelly things everywhere ( no not kippers ) pot purrie I think you gals call it , I'll move in next Friday if thats good ? :)) , hope its big enough to accomodate the growing tribe though otherwise I'll have to pass .
Isn't it great to be able to go out and buy things with your hard earned though , everything I needed outside of gambling always went on card and it just goes to show as I haven't used a Credit card in the last 9 months , kinda makes you think .
I need to think about my kitchen and bathroom next , so maybe we could swap any bits thats left over ? but that'll have to wait till after the wedding now .
Spending fathers day with my two as there treating there old dad to a suprise day out , bit worrying really but I'm sure it'll be good .
Take care Loxxie and have a great weekend xx
