Lost £25.00 gambling at William Hill's!

GAMBLED AT WILLIAM HILL'S ONLINE...AND, LOST(as usual).

Well, being the total dreamer that I am, I decided why not have a go at doubling my money by betting £25.00 at William Hill's online.

Of course, the bet lost! I was playing Roulette; and, I think, in all I had something like 7 spins of the wheel; each time I bet on 30 numbers going from 1-30; well, I won once or twice, possibly, trice; however, in 7 spins, at least, 4 times the number: 0 came up; this meant I lost, repeatedly, again and again...until, eventually, I'd gone and lost it ALL! I just could NOT believe it! That I feel is regular gamblers theme song: I just could NOT believe it! I sing that same song nearly every single time I go gambling; meaning around 90% of the time, I'm sure. Yet, being a 'gambling addict' as I am; I still can't stop dreaming of winning one day...; it's so sad; but, is also most unfortunately, true.

THIS MORNING I WENT TO VISIT STREATHAM JOB CENTRE 

I went to visit Streatham Job Centre to explain to them that although somebody was meant to contact me over the phone;  to talk about my going on a training course; yet, after 2 weeks I still had received no reply. The lady made a check...; and, discovered that the people were busy through being fully booked up; thus, there was no other choice left to me...except to continue waiting. She said, I must come back and see her in another 2 weeks time; just to confirm if they had given me a phone call/or, not?!

SHOPPED AT STREATHAM POUND SHOP

In Streatham there is a Pound Shop store which is located near to St Leonard's Church. I went in there to go and do some shopping. What especially interested me was their £1.00 drinks: Mango/Guava/Lychee; these are some of the best tasting drinks ever! In all I brought 3 of each flavour totalling: £9.00 worth. My total shopping bill at the pound store was for: £28.31.

MY LATEST EPSON PRINTER IS NOT WORKING

I'm having trouble using the recent USB/WiFi Espon Printer I brought.

1> One of the ink colours as run out; and, it refuses to print anything out; unless I replace the cartridge, first?!

2> I can't seem to get the scanner to work; even though it's plugged in through a USB cable; and, I'm not actually trying to use WiFi.

3> I can't get the printer to copy anything, neither. I think, that this might be related to the problem stated in 1; namely, lack of ink. But, it could also be due to the fact that I just can't get that part of the printer up and working, neither.

CONCLUSION

I'm going to have to find the manual; whether on CD ROM disc; or else, uploaded onto my own computer; or, maybe, go and search through Epson's own online site. My problem is, I have so many other things to go and deal with; that I'm finding it very difficult, indeed, to stay focussed.

LIBRARY BOOKS STILL TO RETURN

NORBURY LIBRARY

I got to return a library book to Norbury Library called: PTSD-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I've already gone and re-newed this book around 5 times; so they refused to renew it over the phone anymore. I was instructed, yesterday, to bring the book back to the library, instead. They also informed me that there would be a £10.00 overdue charge; even though the book costs only £9.99! Going at that rate...I might as well 'buy' the book outright if I wish to read it...rather than go pay to merely borrow it/and, then, return.

MORLEY COLLEGE LIBRARY

I also have 2 books to return back to Morley College as well...

1> Introducing Shakespeare(I think, was the title?)
2> Artists(forgot the exact title name?)

Morley College mail said that there will be an Amnesty where you don't have to pay fines; during sometime in April. So, hopefully, I will find both of these books before then...???

KINGSWOOD LIBRARY

I believe there is still one more book to return back to Kingswood House Library, Sydenham Hill. The book is about 'crime'; though, again, I forgot the exact name? I must remember to renew this book either in person/or else, over the phone; before they start adding over due fine fees...!
