Cheers Vera and very true Waynes. I like to think my attitude has changed. I still get it every day from the regular gamblers that go in my workplace. Telling me it’s worth a go on such a machine and why aren’t I playing this and doing that. I’m trying to explain to these people that I’m putting it behind me, but with so many other instances of me saying I’m done they tend to take it with a pinch of salt. The guy who knows what I’ve done who ive mentioned before wasn’t in last night. Blew a fortune in here on Monday night. I wonder if he’ll learn his lesson? Probably not, but that’s up to him I guess. My opening time regular has just finished his daily loss of around £100. Why didn’t I see these things more clearly the last few times I’d tried to stop. Probably the shock of the amount this time has effected me more than anything else. I’m becoming like one of those reformed smokers who gets on their high horse when they see people smoking. I’m starting to dislike the people who gamble and try to associate with me over it…
In other news my brothers house is nearly ready for him to move in. This will start a reshuffle of accommodation for my family. The point being, I’ll be living alone soon, maintaining a house that I probably can’t afford to. I’m going to be spending roughly 2 weeks wages a month on staying alive… Gonna really test my ability to carry on saving money. Of course, this being said, all the conversations usually end on my eventual own house. My parents are saying I won’t make the mistakes my brother did and my money will go further. At the end of the day, they’ve no idea I couldn’t afford to buy a shed with a bed inside at the moment… I guess when the time comes that they wanna sell the house and I have to buy my own, we’ll have much to discuss.
