Sent you an email, if you send me your address will get them sent. Will put V’s name on the package so she can open it when it gets there.
Gift from me and Mrs W.
I can’t thank you enough Andy honestly, it’s amazing and the little lady will absolutely love them! ☺️
1Also absolutely amazing! She will have a field day with those! ?
Oh my goodness that would be amazing ??
She will love it!
11Hi thisgirl,
I have a few more meetings early next week’s with a few charities who might be able to help out.
Make sure you keep awaý from the slots, 4 years is an amazing achievement and really not worth breaking it. We have all seen the big wind, but there are massive losses as well (bandit 60k etc.).
Don’t worry, something will get sorted
Thank you again Andy ?
Obviously my situation is very different but as a student, I find/found myself needing to somehow maintain a positive cash flow without a job. Trying to maintain a paltry student loan and having to give up my job so I could manage the workload meant I was looking at slots as a way to make money rather than what I used to do as a form of light entertainment.
Obviously this wasn’t ever going to happen but when you’re desperate the thoughts of ‘what if’ far outweigh the sensible ‘not a chance’.
Just please always remember that the odds of you even quartering your deposit are highly unlikely, nevermind being able to use it as a money making method.
Thankfully I kicked it all on the head when I started looking at things sensibly, like a £10 deposit could feed me for almost a week, then adding up could fill my tank for a month etc. It was ridiculous but I never racked up any debt from it thank fuck
Yeah I know what you are saying and couldn’t agree more!
Thank you for taking the time to reply 🙂
Hi Thisgirl…. We’ve all been there & I have a similar problem of needing £1250 for something… If I don’t manage to save the money, then it’s not going to happen, if I gamble to try and get it I’m fucked… Even if I win it, as you know no room is big enough to fill with cash for a gambler…
Just think of your daughter.
And remember there some satisfaction in saving the money, it will give me a target. Hope you get there too.
Thank you for your words of encouragement, I too hope you manage to achieve your goal! ☺️☺️
Thanks for your honest post young lady, I have seen you post before and I understand that times are tough for you at the moment. The urge to gamble is one of those demons that always arise when your feeling at your lowest.. you will always remember the big wins you had that made you feel great but the “want” to gamble will always push the dark periods to the back of your mind. There are many tools out there that can take the temptation away completely, its up to you how you want to play it darling.
I understand that you may need adaptations for your family that are badly required, Andy Williams is a great guy who is highly respected on this forum. Maybe the Bandit, Seedy and Andy can work something out in future that can maybe alleviate some of your worries. Its not for me to call the shots as I am a mere member but the folks on this forum are the “salt of the earth” who look after each other.
Many thanks for your reply!
Yes it’s a very tough situation to be in and I couldn’t agree more regarding Andy, and as we all know the losing is the bitter end that we face, just wanting that last hit, until we realise there is nothing left!
I couldn’t do it to myself or my family but it doesn’t stop the feeling you know?
just To kick things off for the ladies.. my vote is Johnny depp.. wouldn’t mind captain jack sparrow putting his hands on my treasure chest ??
1have you been spying on me at the urinal
Haha! ?? hope your expensive chippy was worth it!
Unfortunately for me I have to walk past the willy hills shop to get to the local chippy in my town, this is how it normally goes.
Head down walking repeatedly saying to myself , not going in not going in not going in not going in not going in not going in SHIT I’m in.
it normally costs me an arm and a leg for the Friday night tea.
I’m so sorry but I couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of a not only a battered sausage but a battered bank balance too ??
1Never seen Paul go as mental as @thebandit but that’s why I love watching him! The amount of times I’ve belly laughed to hearing him screaming yessssssss ?
Having said that I’ve seen some RIDICULOUS stakes from Paul and a lot of rum drinking lol
Such amazing people on this forum! @realwhiskers I hope your feeling better! I’ve been in a low place recently too! I’ve been gambling free for 4 years but after finding out how much sensory equipment is (my little lady is disabled and loves lights/bubbles etc) I’ve been tempted to come back and try to win enough but I know in the end I will lose and be worse off! Stay strong and well all get through these tough times!
Hi Thisgirl2019,
Have you tried applying to the roaldahl charity? They can give financial help up to £1000 for eligible families. Might be worth looking at it.
Hi Andy,
Yes I’ve looked into that and sadly her condition isn’t currently covered for any form of help from them!
Thank you for the suggestion though!

Hi! I’m also new!
Welcome Thisgirl2019! Hope you have as much fun here as I’m having already!
Also, thanks to all the rest of the guys for the warm welcome
Trying to keep my 4 year gambling free record going but recent difficulties make it so tempting to go back! Eeekkkk!
Huge congrats on being gambling free for 4 years!
If you’re having a tough time at the moment there is a really useful section on here with some tips on responsible gambling, feel free to check it out. If you would like any advice I’m happy to chat with you and the other guys here seem more than helpful too.
Thank you! Trying to save for some sensory equipment for my little one who’s disabled! So expensive it’s ridiculous! Hence the temptation to return after all this time to help her but I know in the end I’ll just make myself worse off!
