One of the things I imagined i would have spent a decent win on whilst playing online slots was..
Replace a window with French doors into pub garden from the bar area...
Terracing the garden to take a large marquee ....wish will be accessed via new doors...
Well....it's all booked in now...it's happening....
Much more satisfying than feeding my very hard earned cash into an online slot !

There's me wanting a speed boat.
And you wanted French door's?
Joking aside we'll done loxxie
Great work
"Bonjour , Come in " , That was a French door as opposed to a "French Window " " Bonjour av a look in " ?
Chuffin " Speedboat " He live's a million miles from the sea and want's a " Speedboat " He'll probably come back with "Yeah but weve got some good lakes around here " Shaves one leg and " Drives Speedboats on a lake " Girl !! Bring yer Boat down here mate and give it some welly on the solent :)) xx
Always made me laugh when a couple from Birmingham won a speed boat on bullseye w*f would they do with it?
Just so you know Alan there's no splash within reaching distance. That's country side living bro
But a boy can dream.
I knew I shouldn't of told you about shaving my leg
LoL , yeah I remember Bullseye , some real s**t,,e prizes too , the other one was 321 with Ted Rodgers , I never understood how anyone could have worked their way through those clues and won anything ? .
Oh I didn't mean to shatter your dreams either good buddy , One wooly leg or not I wouldn't do that to ya ! , I can get a Dinghy if you can supply the oars ? and yes they are spelt that way :)) xx
Afternoon Loverly :)) .
What's this about streaks in yer hair then eh ? , Hallowen's over you know LoL !
So One hairy leg blokes gone , Martin turned up on Sunday to tell me off like my dad and went again , you got any plans to desert me ? Coz I'll feel like Billy no mates in a minute :(( Even Toad was removed before I had a chance tio say Hi ! lol xx
Care in the community ? Bloody cheek !!.
Your only as old as you feel , Oh yeah Maybe your right after all :(( Laughed at you getting caught ( nearly ) by the horsey brigade , always happen's though when you go out looking like rubbish , I always seemed to bump into my daughters Headmistress when she was at school , I'd be coming out of B&Q after cleaning the drain or something and she'd always see me at my worse.
Yeah I hope Deany Baybee's alright , I'll miss our back n forths as well , have to find someone new to insult now :)) I was havin one of my usual ding dong's on here Sunday night and Martin the dad Oldham stepped in to restore order , bless him , it did the trick but I've not seen him since , I think he doesn't hang around with me much these day's since his shiny new pin turned up , maybe I'm just " Riff Raff" these day's ? ( I'm only kidding DaD ) .:))
Talk to you soon Lovely Loxxie , stay safe and well xx
Hi Loxx, 2 more sleeps until the big 300 not out 🙂 You've achieved such a lot on the home front this year, I'm lucky enough to see the photographic evidence too! Well done my lovely, and thanks again for your kind wishes this week. Perhaps we should do a joint 1 year party?! Invitation only of course haha!
Twinks xx
Hi Loxxie how's you just want to say thank you so much for your support on my diary your a star! Hope your good hun take care Lu x
So...300 days without a single spin on an online slot !
All seems like a dream now...or a nightmare !
From those early days....constant urges....my addiction telling me I couldn't live without a spin. .
The awfull feelings of what id spent...the lies...the secrecy. ..missed time with family and friends...a struggling pub...because I chose to gamble rather than build my business...constant fuzzy head from Peter and pauling...neglected home...I could go on and on...but anybody reading this will know what I mean....
Maybe I've been a " lucky one "...to get this far....maybe I've found it easier than some to fight my addiction....or maybe I haven't...who knows...
I do know in the early weeks I fought tooth and nail to leave well alone....and I don't know if I've done it the right way...or the wrong way...to always stay in recovery...but I do know I've tried my best to re build my life...for me...and for those that matter to me...
I'll never give up on keeping my addiction in my past...
Life now is so much simpler...because I choose not to play the slots...
Life will always be full of hurdles...but I can cope with them now....actually...I've always been able to cope with them....I just got lost on the way....scarey stuff really....addiction. ...me...an addict. ...jeez...how did that happen ?
Well....strangely enough...I'm sort of glad it did....I've learnt so much...I've gained so much...I'll always respect my addiction for the strength it had over me...and I'll always do all I can to keep it where it belongs....in a box...in my head !
You guys on here have supported me constantly....no one else could have done that ....so I thankyou..
I'll always keep this place close to me....I need it as a reminder...but...if I'm honest...I'm so busy with pushing the pub....supporting my family....and just enjoying everyday life...that I'm being a little selfish and saying I've just not got the time to be here so much as I was in the early days....
Anyway....that's enough waffle...
And....if any newbies should read this post....keep fighting your addiction. ...it's your fight....it's your choice....and no matter how bad everything seems...it will get better with time....if you don't gamble x
Loxxie :)) Wow 300 day's already girl !! . apologies for being a bit late with the well wishes but Like you the business gets in the way now , so been running around like a mad thing this morning and just logged on , like you I'm not complaining about that either .
No luck in your recovery at all Hun , youv'e done this because you wanted to and your guts and determination have shone through , and the extra huge bonus is that youve passed it forward by reaching out on a daily basis to those that have come here in the same horrible position you found yourself in many months ago .
Your a true credit to yourself your family and this forum and I have all the time in the world for you and the deepest respect :))
Enjoy your day Loxxie and keep reaping those rewards darling :))
Love , respect and best wishes
Alan xx
Happy Spartans day. Here's to 300 more xx
A sniff of cake or a party and up he turn's , he'll do his other leg in soon burning more calories off :)) xx
