traumatic Tuesday 12th Jan Daily chat thread

Morning all, early start for me. Kids up and running around like loonies, on 2nd cup of coffee already and bloody freezing outside! Anyway...reasons to be cheerful include a few sales on ebay over night (nothing special but ho hum) 14 days clean from gambling and a positive outlook for the next few weeks, as looking with a small float of £100, looking to turn it into a few thousand by the end of the year. Any others who are trying to stay clean from the gamling bug wanna chat please feel free to IM or Email me. The debts are not going away but seemingly under control, while I stay free from the bookies.

Roads very icy around Luton so people please take care

    Morning all

    William - Well done on the 2 weeks, keep it up!

    SRM - Drive safely.

    Sammy - Enjoy your morning with DGS.

    DD's schools are finally open so they left half an hour ago for the bus and won't be back until 4.45pm - bliss (I love them to bits but they've had a good dose of cabin fever).

    Need to book a phone call from the GP for DH today, a few worrying things have been happening over the last couple of days so need to see what she says.

    Morning all!

    William do you do the 'staying away from gambling thread' on here? It supposed to be good anyway - well done on the two weeks :)

    Sammy - 9 week plan :eek: thats a bit tight isnt it?

    I am wearing my new skirt - but with flats and a shirt tucked in to make it a bit less sexy ;) Better not eat though - can harldy breathe hahahaha

    Have a good day all!
  • Morning everyone.

    Its flipping freezing here mainly due to the howling bitter wind! At work until 1pm and then i need to blitz the house and do something constructive with DD once she gets home from school.

    Well done William on 2 weeks, keep at it!
    Sammy 2 miles is nothing and easily doable in between something today.
    Becky, hope there is nothing to stodgy for you to eat today if the skirt is that tight ;)
    Bookie enjoy your meeting
    Glad to hear your a bit more mobile today pepe...sending the snow your way later ;) Actually they have changed their minds (there's a suprise) and its not going to be as heavy as they thought yesterday, in fact it will probably miss me here!
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...
