Awake for a while thinking and planning! Today at home I will go to the gym, I will do some work, and tidy house! This will be my plan!
Hello. Have you thought about contacting helpline. re. Occupying time or next week when away call into group chat. 8pm 1 hour. You're never alone on this site..Â
Stay strongÂ
Thanks boo good idea! I have done my plan (apart from gym) that must be tomorrow! Feeling a little better today as had a quiet day at home! Having a coffee now and then got a draft report to write and then I will feel better!

Hey Matt, please join us on chat if you are at a loose end. Know how you feel and you can crack this
Just waiting for transport connection stood outside a shop I have frequented in the past! Many hours wasted, stood in cold thought I would post on forum! Look forward to satisfaction later, currently mind telling me otherwise!
Hey Matt,Â
I know it’s cold outside but great to hear you are not in the shop. Don’t give them the satisfaction of taking your money. Spend it on something that will ultimately make you happy. Hope your connection arrives soon.Â
Laid in bed reading a few posts and feeling good as I waited for my connection and this morning I can move a little forward today! Thanks for your comment Murio i like the thought of not giving them any more of my money!

Take care Â

Thanks for all the support it was good and satisfying to get home and no regrets or issues of challenge. Today starting out again for a few days - got gym kit in car so plan to fill some time that wayÂ

Keep going Matt. I will keep popping back to check on you ?
Well done matt.... Keep going forward?
Today has been hard! Been up since five working and it’s payday, this eve I have been sat arguing with myself in my hotel room! Just pop out for a footy bet! Pass the evening etc etc! Not that there is such a thing as a quick footy bet! If only, sensible head winning had a shower and writing a blog!Â
