    Morning. Still really tired and need to get on with my essay so I wont be around much for the rest of the week but I thought I'd pop in and say hello.

    William, I agree about the ex gamblers support thread, if you haven't checked it out already. My ex was a gambler and I found it really helpful.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Thanks for asking Maz....I'm good. Lost my mojo a bit after Christmas and just seen photos of OH's new house. Would love to go out there and join her....looks idyllic. Might see how I feel after my 6 weeks there in the Summer. Who knows....??
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Beanie, go to the group's page, then just under the avatar, there's a 'Leave group' option. Just click it. :)
