Wow, 2 months since my last post, time really does fly!
I’ve been busy, I have a couple of new projects in the works, firstly we have bought a little caravan, it was too cheap to pass up. Damian has gutted half of it and is putting in a new bed for us. I have managed to pick up a few things we needed (including the bed mattress) on an online, local site. It means that for very little money we are going to have a wonderful van. I was thinking this morning that thank god these sites weren’t around in my action days, I would surely have sold everything and we would be living in an empty shell of a house! Our first trip is in about a month so I’ll be interested to see how it all goes.
Secondly I have started ‘updating’ some old furniture in my house. I’m painting it all and making it look old! I’ve done one piece and am really happy with the result. I’m eager to get stuck into a few more and the only thing stopping me is time. Weekends have been full of painting and sanding. Im pleased I have found something I enjoy that is a great time filler. Daylight savings have finished here so unfortunately I can’t get out there after work and it’s getting a bit cold here now.
I have managed to overcome another addiction. Since I was 5 years old I have bitten my nails to the quick. For the first time in my life I have managed to grow them and they really look quite nice! I’m constantly filing and painting them. It’s amazing how much I talk with my hands now, as if talking with my mouth wasn’t enough!!!!
I have not gambled. I have not thought of it, well, only in passing. I don’t think about going anymore, it’s more if I see something or hear something that reminds me, my exclusion is in place, and I feel safe and secure.
Work is good, busy of course. My boss is having 2 months off so my hours are sure to reduce. I’m not too stressed, firstly there’s nothing I can do about it, secondly I’ve budgeted before and can again. We used to live off very little when I was gambling. We will manage.
I’m going to visit a few threads now, take care, all of you,
Love K xxxxx
