    SS I've never seen you this low. I had a little moment of my own earlier this evening when I forgot to confirm a bet- could have lost £458 and I just felt so low as MB is the only real bonus I've got to drive down these massive debts.

    Don't give up... we're all in the same boat and you'll done so much good work so far.

    SS, I've run out of motivating things to say... I don't know what's making you feel this down... but I'm still here reading this and really hoping things look up soon.

    Oi you great tart

    stop feeling sorry for yourself

    pick yourself up - and do something about it ;)

    you are so nearly there - work through your numbers and set a realistic DFD

    stop your PMT and get some PMA (thats positive mental attitude :D )

    you know where I am (thats on the gambling board - down a few boards since you seem to have lost it :rotfl: )

    :kisses3:

    SS its tough and when a debt is so large it seems never ending but you have have acheieved so much (including the harem;) ). This slump will pass and until it does, just keep going with those slow DFW steps.

    You have made so many people laugh and stay positive (and made me look into matched betting:eek: ) ) we are all here for you.

    Big positive hugs your way:cool:

    Maybe just going through the motions, plodding on if you like, will get you through this bad patch. You know what you need to do to get where you want to be so take it on and keep going.

    Perhaps the motivation will rise along with the sap! Spring is nearly here, or it was last week.

    Isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?
