Thanks Vera, Cat and Dave for your messages. Woke up yesterday with the flu, struggled through a shift at work and have spent today wrapped up in bed. Happy that I have cash the day before I get paid for the first time in a long time and I can afford paracetamol and Lemsips. Fleeting thoughts of gambling over the past two days. Suppose it’s just because it has been at the forefront of my mind for so long I had to remind myself that I had self-excluded. Still, been gradually feeling better about things as the week has gone on.

Thanks for reading.

Mike
