6:30 AM COLLECTED FREE METRO NEWSPAPER FROM WEST NORWOOD TRAIN STATION

After letting in/and, then, feeding the cat at 6 AM; I decided to go down the street to collect a FREE Metro newspaper from West Norwood train station. I believe I walked it.

All along the journey, I had a really strong desire in me to go and draw; however, I had brought no drawing materials along with me to go 'practice' drawing.

My next thought was to go out and visit a gallery during the morning/or, even, day...; however, none of these things did actually happen.

Instead, I stayed dressed sitting in the living room computer chair; and, basically, fell asleep; it wasn't until 2 PM when I re-awoke; and, at around 3 or 4 PM I just decided to stay in rather than go out.

The weather has been 'cold and rainy' of late...; maybe, that might have influenced my decision to stay inside.

4:30 PM DID ROULETTE GAMBLING AT WILLIAM HILL: DEPOSITED: £5/WON: £29.50 LOST: £1.30 BAL.

I decided to go and do some Roulette Gambling at...

http:/www.williamhill.com

...I deposited £5.00. The first £3.00 bet I did instantly lost; and, my balance said: £2.10 left(0.10p was in the a/c. before).

I then continued to gamble...betting 2 rows at £1.00 each; the bet won; and, I was left with £3.10.

Again, I continued gambling...until when my total had reached £6.00; that's when I started betting high...throwing in the full £6.00; it won! And, so on...and, so on...before I knew it my total winning balance said: £29.50.

Unfortunately, rather than take £29.50; and, leave it there...I'm always tempted to go and round the figure out...to make a round £30.00; that's when I all of a sudden ran into a losing streak...and, my total just kept on going downwards...I recall making, at least, 2 bets of £12...which both lost; before I knew it my balance said just £1.30 left...which is when I decided to quit doing any more gambling(£3.00 is the minimum I usually bet with/or, at least, £2.00 when betting on 2 rows).

5:30 PM PHONED CASHPLUS

I phoned CashPlus...in order to discover exactly what my balance is...; however, it took really long for them to respond; when a guy eventually did...he told me I had gotten through to the credit card team...and, therefore, he would need to put me onto a different department...as my inquiry was, in fact, pre-paid card related; well, I waited and waited and waited...for somebody to answer the phone...and, then, eventually, I gave up.

5:45 PM DEPOSITED £30.00 INTO CASHPLUS

I went online...and, paid into my CashPlus a/c. the sum of £40.00(£25+5+10); which, hopefully, will cover this months due payment...which is, usually, around the £12.00 mark. Altogether, I owe them £80.00 in loan money.

6:30 PM MISSED AIKIDO

I wanted desperately to go and attend an Aikido class; however, the time just kept on getting 'later and later'...; and, I did NOT feel at all 'fit'; so, in the end I just didn't bother to go; maybe, next Thursday...which is in another 2 days time. (The truth is I can't very well afford to go to lessons, neither; therefore, I'm unwilling to overspend too much money that I really can't afford to lose.)
