You’re going to love it!
Look at you participating in activities and all!!!
Great for self esteem, and keeping those gambling thoughts at bay….win win my friend!!!
Your daughter will get used to the fact that she will need to work around you for a while. She’s proboably used to having you at her beck and call!
Keep enjoying,
So happy for you!
Love K xxxYou said it yourself, you feel richer for being gamble free.
In Australia they have the ‘great Aussie dream’, which is buying your own home.
I had that home…….and I lost it. Through gambling.
I doubt I will ever have another.
It is what it is.
Not having a home of my own doesn’t make me better or worse than anyone else.
Being bankrupt doesn’t make you better or worse than anyone else.
We are people. We make mistakes. Its called life.
The trick is though, to learn from it.
Acceptance will make it feel better. We all have regrets, some more than others, some bigger than others.
Move forward, keep busy, today is another day.
Love K xxxCongratulations on coming back,
it would be easy to just continue with the destruction.
You know what works…..use it
Keep posting, staying in touch really helps (I learnt this the hard way)
Look forward to reading more from you,
Love K xxxWow! Way to swing thing in your favour!
I’ve been thinking of you!
When is your scan result?
Hopefully now your mind will ease a little knowing you don’t have the means or opportunity.
I’m just about to get ready for work so I’ll sign off.
Great work! You can do this Mav!
Love K xxxYou never know, this job may lead to bigger and better things!
When I started my current job I went from a desk job to standing at least 9-10 hrs a day. It took 2 weeks for my back to adjust, it was so bad I thought of quitting !!!!
Heat packs and balm fixed me up!
You will be fine!!!!
Glad you enjoyed your grand daughter. I went and saw Tex today, hadn’t seen him all week and couldn’t stand it!! Lol! Made my heart sing…..that child!
Have a good week,
Love K xxxxSo happy to read you are doing well!
Counselling is always a good idea I think! I tried it, although the girl was 20 and had noooo idea! Needless to say this site became, and still is my rock!
Anyways, wishing you a happy, gamble free weekend!
Love K xxxI am soooo pleased for you!!!
Congratulations!!!!
I’m sure you will really enjoy it, you will meet some new people and I hope you are funk free really soon!!!
Have a great weekend!Have a wonderful time!
You deserve this! I hope you have a blast!!!!
Love K xxxxI just read your post on Mavs thread……
What do you mean you are in French chat?
Love KI’m a believer!!! Ive had a few things happen to me over the years too…….
Oh Lizbeth, don’t you see?
You are not insignificant.
Look at your granddaughter. She obviously adores her nana. You are a massive part of her life.
What about your daughter? What would she do without you?
Not to mention GT……
Your name is all over this forum. Not insignificant, but clever, smart, witty, truthful, soulful, deep, thoughtful and full of advice and support.
You affect people in ways you will never ever know.
Everything you say and do affects someone in some way.
I think that is a wonderful quality, to touch others you have never even met. To take the time to post, to read, to listen.
I know you are in a funk, it will pass.
I believe when we feel down a wall goes up. We don’t want to communicate, we feel isolated and alone.
I know those around you can see this.
Maybe they just don’t know what to say and hope it passes?
Keep being the beautiful person you are.
You are ANYTHING but insignificant.
Love K xxxxYou are living a nightmare.
You need barriers now!!!!
Sherrie…..YOU ARENT GOING TO WIN!!!
We cant win, no win is ever big enough.
Cut the tie now before its too late!!!!
Keep posting, the more you are here the less you are gambling.
Love K xxxWishing you all the best for your scan.
I’m my line of work I’m looking at nether regions all the time and sometimes I have to get reeeaaalll close to them to take a photo (looking at those written words I can only imagine what people think I do!!)
It’s not as bad as that I promise.
Its just another body part!
Anyway…….I know you will deal with whatever comes next, and I pray it’s nothing more than a bit of cold gel!!! (For the scan if anyone’s wondering!!!)
I’m glad Christmas was as good as it could be.
I’m also glad you haven’t gambled, be mindful, stress is a major trigger (as I know you know!)
So I’ll sign off, thinking of you Mav
Love K xxxGeordie is right….what a massive leap! You should be so so proud of yourself.
When I laid all the bills out on the table to show my husband, knowing we would have to sell our home, knowing he could very well tell me to sod off, I had decided to ask him to take control of the finances. He did it, begrudgingly, as he had never paid a bill in his life or had to deal with money issues and had no idea what to do.
The weight, the relief I felt was astronomical.
I hated money. It was killing me and now I didn’t have to deal with it anymore!!!
About a year later I started paying the bills again, I was stronger, and he was over it! Lol
We now communicate often about money. Yep we still fight when there isn’t much, but the bills are always paid and the food is always on the table.
I must say though, with this baby girl coming the bank account is going to take a hit!!!!
Love K xxxI’m sorry you feel you aren’t supported here.
I’m squirming and wriggling at the moment.
Don’t like conflict.
Don’t want to upset anyone.
I have always admired the way you post. If I had the guts to say what I thought sometimes I would be booted off this site. I’m not talking about this particular time, but many over the years.
I have to say, I don’t really know about the lie you speak of, I wasn’t around when everything happened.
What I do know is that you are a good person, who, like me knows what can be done to aid recovery.
I also know that you are my friend.
In love and support always,
Kathryn xxxSorry about your troubles at home.
What is it with these men sometimes? (I’m not generalising, so don’t start jumping up and down fellas!)
Dames went away for the weekend, came back in a huff. Who knows why! Ugh
So I got busy! Meal prepping for the week, my weight watchers is going ok (I hope) I made banana pancakes earlier for my breakfast tomorrow. Only 3 ingredients! Surely I can’t stuff that up? I’m the worst cook, aaand they look like pancakes!!!! Woohoo!!!!! Don’t know how they will taste though lol !
So back to you. …. hopefully your husband takes on board what you have said and your house becomes a bit more peaceful. You have enough to deal with!!!!!
Hope your week is a good one!
Love K xxx
