Awake and up all night

Hello Mikey

I know money can be tight when you aren't working. Here at Macmillan we do have people who can help you:

Support - Money Advisors.

If you click on the link you will find help there.

The best plan of action is to call the Support Line on 0808 808 00 00 between 9am and 5pm (Monday to Friday) and ask to speak to a money advisor. (if one isn't available they should sort out a call back for you).

Best wishes - Brian.

Hello Gill

Brilliant win - there are so few pleasures in life the odd flutter and drink don't do anyone any harm.

I put my £10 on with Portugal online with the Irish Electricity company - I thought as outsiders at 16/1 it was a good bet!! .

On a "normal" Saturday I have a £5 acca (accumulator to anyone else) and always have 5 results from League 2 - not always including Oldham. I have had some cracking results and I am a few hundred quid up - but that's about the limit to my gambling.

Whilst I am aware folk can't put there contact details on a thread having been a "Champ" for 3 years I have some great mates on the Prostate Group, have a few that I chat to "off line", I have met a few and sadly attended a couple of funerals.

Life goes on, and it's very precious, so I try and enjoy every second.

Kind regards - Brian xx

Good advice in your last paragraph hon,  but I think of Dingg a lot of the time. She's a valued member of our group and if she reads in the future, just to let her know we love her and pray for her eventual peace in this challenging life.

Brian, we don't bet as much as we used to but in the past I've missed out on a few £££housand by a single goal! That's because I did crazy accas involving several teams and the odds were sky high. The disappointment was crushing. I used to study form and relied mainly on the lower leagues and conference, but intend to pare it back this season. That's one pleasure and food is the other!

Have a great day and look forward to your jollies, my friend xxx

As Gill said, Macmillian is a good place to start. They definitely have advice on financial matters as it's always popping up in my social media.

Hope you find something there xxx

I think you can claim universal credit when your sick pay runs out. It might be best to ask macmillan or welfare rights they will advise you xxx

Thanks so much all of you very special people me and julie will have a look to see how we do going from £500 pounds a week then down to £130 pounds sick pay then down to £53 a month because of having cancer is a lot to take in but thank you all for the infamashin and julie says thank you all xxxx 

You're welcome.

Thank you kez I am recovering slowly now I don't have 6th July looming over me. The date of my operation. It wasn't easy I couldn't even pick a cup up never mind walk.

The first few days after the op are a blur. I know they tried to get me out of bed. I was just shaking all over. Then 2 days later the physios came and got me walking down the corridor. Then the next day I climbed the stairs  Then they discharged me because I could get to the bathroom. I still think it was too early. I was really scared how I would manage. The first night at home I was determined to get up the stairs to bed. It took me 45 minutes but I did it.
