    Well done for dealing with your family situations well as you are LaPlan. You might know ex Mr Cheery had a heavy drink problem so I know something of some of the issues you're dealing with. I ended up in AlAnon (12 steps for family & friends) myself for years, and saw people gaining so much strength to deal with rotten situations. I walked away in the end - but it was always going to be easier to walk from a relatively short term relationship than family, so tough. Glad you have your coping mechanisms x

    Well done on the casino win! I've been down all month and finally broke even yesterday 😂 Hoping I can make at least a tenner before the end of the year! 😂
  • Congratulations on your win and for being the bigger person. I'm glad you're looking forward to joyful chaos, have a lovely Christmas x
