Not had a bad day today. Need to pay someone £160 for some previously arranged autographs by Stevie Gerrard. A reminder of a time not so long ago that I was quick to spend big on my hobby. On a positive note, I’ll get much more than that when they go on eBay soon to cover costs. Gotta save up for a match I’m going to at the end of the month too. Savings aren’t seeing many new friends at the minute.
I was pretty irritable last night. I had a regular gambler staying late at work. Usually I don’t mind stopping back a bit so they can play, as I always like to watch and join in. But everything about it was annoying me last night. Not least the 30 minutes extra I was at work without pay. Anyway, he ended up with nothing, obviously. I locked up and went home annoyed that my time was wasted. If only I’d felt like that when it was my own money. There had been a few occassions I’d left work as the sun was coming up, hundreds maybe over a thousand quid down. Just really sad, depressing, embarrassing walk of shame home to think about the amount of times I’d have to visit the cash machine to draw out the £300 limit.
Here’s to hoping I’ve walked that last walk…
