Lol sounds like all Greek to me. No copy and paste on this cell phone as far as I've seen. Lol lol lol

Well got threw Sunday just fine with no gambling. Sh-it got a bill for my last visit to the dermetoligist, and yeah wasn't expecting that since I thought it was a freebie and went with the surgery I had. $110 for that visit. Cost me like $800-$900 for it after insurance and was planning on having it all paid off this check. Yeah coming up with $231 is bad enough outta this check and $341 worse. Lol lol lol hell they will get that cash and I'll be done with them. Pretty much ain't planning on attending that next appointment in January either. Lol sh-it seems like all these little extra bills are amounting to $300 a pay check lately. Yeah car and renters insurance due next check too and always sets me back $250. Oh fricken well.

Finished up me house cleaning yesterday and gave them bushes one last trim before the snow flies. Pulled out the grill of course and did up some marinated chili lime chicken breast along with some camp fire potatoes. Salsa doesn't last long in this joint and made up another batch of that also. Neighbors were back to clean yesterday and should be the last time I'll be.seeing them. Though they didn't bring this massive pile of bush trimmings to the road and guess the land lord will have fun with that. Lol yeah that bush was was looking more like a mighty 15 foot tree rather than a bush. Lol They hacked it down to about 3 foot and just tossed it along side the fence thinking there's a clean up fairy I guess. Lol

Drank a more than a few cold ones and yeah ended up running for a pack of smokes too. Lol yeah don't really know what made me cave after 135 days of not smoking. But yeah sure got the digestive system back on track and flying out the back door. Lol lol lol Yup felt good to it did. Hell guess after putting on 15 pounds I needed that. Really don't think I'll be running for more after I smoke em up since i do like the money saved by not smoking.

Monday and up early. Hell working the shift I do ain't nothing new I guess and hopefully get a nap in before i go into work tonight.

No gambling and probably only cause I'm broke. Lol do have 11 green money symbols marking off the days not gambled on the calendar though. Lol

Ah... sorry, I didn't realize that you were using a cell phone to post. If you can believe it, I don't even have one of those. Sorry to hear of the smoking again but I truly believe that self criticism doesn't help or can make it worse. You did super well on that (and the gambling) and can do it again with the smokes. I suspect that the trigger was a combo of the drink and the stress of added bills to pay. At least it helped you go! A friend of mine didn't "go" for 3 weeks when she quit smoking and not even laxatives worked! Nasty what this sh-it does to our bodies. But... if you (or me) can get over these hurdles it will be worth it. Wish I could have broke bread with you... that chili lime chicken sounds deeeeeelish! Hang in there soul and keep fighting!

Yeah well I'm working quick at pounding down them smokes and I'm going smoke free again. A guy I work with always pitches what's left on Monday to start fresh again. Lol but hell I paid good money for the things and I ain't wasting them. Lol think I only got like 5 or 6 left any way.

Yeah this phone has no copy or paste but can send links going through Facebook, twitter or other social networks. Hell guess I don't want the world knowing my issues so don't have any of those accounts. Wanna say the phone that shattered before this had the copy and paste option but not be springing for a new phone for awhile and this one will due for now. Yup gonna have to cause seems no end to the incoming of bills. Lol

Hey Soul,

Thanx for dropping in and yea, i agree- boredom is a hell of a pain in a a**e when all you think about is them s....

Back to smokey treats ey? You better finish that pack by today and start brand new day treats free lol

Good stuff on g free time...keep it up!!:-)

Take care

Lol yeah been smokey treat free for like 12 hours now and no issues really going without. Guess to it helped buying a brand of smokes I don't like and pretty much gave me such a bad headache I ended up tossing the last 2 smokes down the toilet cause I couldn't stand another P**f. Lol lol lol so yeah I'm back on the smoke free wagon.

Hell took quite the digger at work and landed on my bad shoulder, hip, elbow, knee and pretty much anything else connected. Lol hell i can't even fall right to get some dam extra time off. Lol yeah thinking I'll be waking a little sore but nothing more. Guess for someone who don't do much dairy the bones be holding up at 53 years old.

Boy I'm so dam tired right now can hardly keep my eyes open. Didn't get much of a nap in before work so wanna say slow mind slow reflexes are partly due to that fall. Lol oh well suppose to be a rainy dreary day and good for sleeping I hope.

Thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes. Had a nice time at my bro's. Sorry to hear about your fall. Take care of yourself, and yes, take care of those bones! So glad you've jumped back on the wagon with the smokes. Now, hopefully, you'll do well with that as well as the gambling. Have a great week.

Sorry to hear of your slip but you've just gotta get back on that horse. Maybe you could see if they can help you at the bank. I have two accounts. My pay goes into one and then I immediately transfer it into the other account because it is not hooked up to my debit card. Perhaps something like that could work?

Yeah that's what kinda saved the $200 I started out the checking with. Lol the checks and card are coming in the mail and don't have them yet. Didn't figure out how to switch it to my savings account till i got home. Lol yeah its staying put and gonna make due on the $100 that's in my savings till the next pay day. Real glad I paid off that dermetoligist Bill though and won't be seeing another one. Paid all the others bills to and basically what I blew was my grocery and fun money I guess. Nothing fun about it. Lol sitting pretty good with groceries too in that the freezer is pretty full. Just sucks I can't seem to stop this pay day tradition of hitting the casino. Just woke up and have quite the headache going with all the beer I drank. Lol yeah got my night at work to get through yet which will be no treat since I only got like 4 hours sleep.

Yes, it's also my downfall to have money come in. Really need to put a major block in place for that. Hope your head isn't hurting too much!

Same here every month is my vulnerable time especially when a bit going spare so have had to put really low limit on my card which has helped.

Makes me realise how lucky I am with all the health problems I have that we have nat. health over here as would have cost me zillions as have had over 25 operations over the years.

Hope you have a good cook up with the freezer food this weekend and everything in place in time for next pay day, just makes life that much more simple.

Hey Soul, Just checking in on you. Are you alright? I presume you're not gambling since you have no $$$. Are you ok with food until next pay?

Hopefully you are doing good and enjoying the cold ones! Had some yesterday myself and slept like cr** after that... But it was worth it!

And thanks again for your support on my diary 🙂

A monkey nut freezing Englishman calling Soul.

How's you doing? hoping your enjoying a few cold ones and smoking burgers.

Getting cold and dark in old blighty, but wishing my American cuzzy well.

Well thanks for the replies and sitting more than good in groceries. Freezer stocked and just been drowning my sorrows so to speak and doing a little hanging out on some other site. More set up for any addiction out there and mainly used by those that drink but kinda interesting just the same. Guess I've been bad with the smokey treats too in that I bought 2 packs Saturday morning after work. Yeah working on puffing em up before i go to work tonight and go smoke free again. Hell doing this off and on stuff on the weekends will just make it that much harder come this weekend so need to just plain old quit. Guess if I find it to hard sustaining from smoking this round we got free help to quit through my work so can get any pill or patch out there at no cost. The guy I work with does the chantics and says it works. Just issues with headaches and dreams at night.

Got a short week at work this week and done on Wednesday. Leaves are falling like crazy so be doing a lot of raking and give the garage a good cleaning before the snow flies. Guess the car could do with a wash job too and a good cleaning. Don't have to worry about gambling anyway since i pretty much made that impossible being broke. LOL

Did some grilling and cold ones over the weekend. Guess most of it was spent sleeping though. Always sleep for cra-P after i gamble so yeah needed the catch up. Finally figured out my media player that i got like 8 months ago. LOL yeah got rid of cable so nice to be able to watch some random movie off of utube. Gonna set up netflix after i get my debt card. Less than $10 a month and a way bigger variety of movies and shows. Hell $10 sure beats the $80-$90 i was paying.
