  • If it's the one I think, I thought of asking you to help when I posted on his thread. Hopefully he has found the gamblers threads helpful. I'm sure you will find a way to help people once the time is right.

    Glad your season ticket thingy went through, that'll help you out. Hope you are ok.

    Hey PPB

    It is the one you are thinking about, I have also posted a link to the thread you refer to and I also posted a link to my original post on that thread. Hopefully he has read my post / thread and realised that gambling is NOT the route he wants to take.

    I don't think people realise that if you gamble for anything except occasional flutter and with money that you can afford to lose (i.e. equivalent of flushing money down the crapper) then the win is virtually the same as getting a loan from a loan shark, you always have to pay it back one way or the other!

    I am ok, how are you doing?

  • Just hope they are still around to get the support.

    I'm much better than I was, thank you. Not sure what's happening with the moving situation so debts are on hold until that is sorted out, but one way or another my old deposit will eventually go towards them when I get it back. Have been off work for a week and am rather liking being a lady of leisure!

    It wouldn't have been possible without your help and support!

  • Not too bad thanks :) Not much happening on the DFW front at the moment as I'm going on holiday next week but sometimes you can't let it get in the way.

    Did you pass all your exams?

  • Well, only one is still pretty good!! And at least you know you so close to getting it :) You will do it!!!

    Cyprus.. can't wait!! I do feel a bit bad about money especially as I'm still spending far too much, but my debt is still loads less than it was. Just need to screw my head back on properly.

    Why are you always on here so late? My alarm is set for 4.20am, I can't sleep so popped on here and you are talking to me... as well as my friend who is working on a cruise ship and I never get to talk to him! Typical!

    Seriously lacking in motivation and if I dont knuckle down from tomorrow I will probably do worse this time!

    Cyprus sounds really nice. I am sure you will have your debt busting hat on when you get back. You are absolutely right that you have done exceptionally well so don't beat yourself up.

    You know me, I work crazy hours at work so its either late at night or early mornings. Why don't you hit the sack, I will inbox you my email add so will be easier for us to keep in touch without taking up your beauty sleep.
