Is anyone just proper shit with money like me ??

I really dont understand the value of it.Im fucked.

Ive blown load's this week and cant pay fuck all, it's wank....

It's getting me down all the time..

No sympathy either, it's my own fault

[Mattb]

I've turned into a bit of a money hoarder. I get worried nowdays when i've got less than £1,500 in the bank! Stems from having no money at uni i think, now i've got a bit i just make sure i keep hold of it! I know plenty of mates who are hopeless and fritter their money away all the time though. Persist with it, and don't let it burn a hole in your pocket!

[mjd]

Your in the same situation as me I think.. It is indeed depressing, just have to be patient..

Winter doesn't help either, so little to do...... It sucks.

[mjd]

One more thing, next time you get hold of a chunk of cash, get yourself down to Asda, you can buy 54 Cans of Boddingtons (or any beer just about) for just £20

Think of that next time you approach a gamble waving a £20 note

Keep the faith

[itsme]

I tend to back horse's more than play the fruit's.You seem to be "chasing" all the time.

I think nothing to putting £50 - £60 on a horse. Great if it come's in but on the other hand,it's well more than a day's wage's for me.

Time to get a grip i think and try save some coin for the festive period.

I think im off to the Asda then MJ :P

Drown my sorrow's and all that shit...

[mjd]

i think the most ive ever put on a horse is £20 and feel nervous!

Asda is a total bargain at the moment! over 100 tins of bods for £40 WOW!

I steer clear of the horses nowadays, but it wasn't so long ago that I'd be betting through the day and heading off to the dog track in the evening. Where, of course, they also have fruities. Double trouble!

The bet I used to love which really helped get me away from the big-spending was to do reverse forecast doubles down the card at a dog meeting, meaning I could have an interest in every race but only spend a tiny amount (ie. £1.12 at a time) with the chance of a really decent return if a few 1-2 results came in; especially at tracks like Wimbledon where the first bend is a killer.

This sort of thing kept me occupied for the same length of time but weened me off the big outlays; and eventually I got bored and started to 'forget' to place the bets. Now I restrict myself to a £1 accumulator on the weekend footie coupon and I have no other reason to wander into the bookies.

There are ways to keep an interest and not spend so much. Persevere.

[Drpepper]

Same for me really.

I aquired some money earlier this year, and i've just lived a cosy life instead of saving it for when i get to uni next year, which i know i'm going to regret.

[ma71lda]

F*ck me H, that puts you £230k in the red!

My missus frets when a bills a day overdue.

No doubt you're paying it back at £20/month via an IVA.

Shame more people aren't as honest as you though.

[harry 3]

I also work 2 jobs to pay for my gambling !!!!!

[Cardinal Sin]

Fair play to you for your honesty Harry.

Just out of interest, what do you gamble on now?

[ma71lda]

He now gambles on which bead of rain drips down the window first! :P

Only joking, I'd like to know how old you are Harry, if you don't mind me asking.

[JG]

Refreshing honesty - I had no idea you were an SWP streaker as well Harry. The thing about roulette......no, sorry, you said not to say that.

[harry 3]

I made my SWP money on Give Us A Break, only about 500 questions in those days.
