1 AM GAMBLED: WILLIAM HILL: Dep: £6.10/Won: 16.95/Lost: £1.95 bal.
Played a mixture of both Roulette/Black Jack at William Hill's online...using my iPad 4 to play. -(For some reason the desktop computer refused to access William Hill web site!)-- The previous balance said: £1.10; and, I made a minimum deposit of £5.00; thus, my starting balance was: £6.10. Without going into too long a story about it...at my topmost point, I was winning £16.95; then, the usual sad story...couldn't stop betting in order to go earn more...unfortunately, I started losing...and, gradually, my balance descended downwards to say: £1.95. As my minimum bet tends to be, at least, £3.00; therefore, I quit.
To tell the truth, I cannot recall when was the last time I played at William Hill and won...and, also, managed to 'withdraw' my winnings when being still on top...instead, 99 times out of 100...even when on top...I keep on betting until I've gone and lost it all. This statement proves that for me, a highly 'addicted' gambler, betting is a loosing game...no matter if I win/lose; as in the end, I still end up loosing, anyway.
However, I also happen to be one of the biggest born 'dreamers' in the whole wide world...which means if I lost absolutely everything: 1/10/100/1000/10,000+ times...I'd still believe that I could win it all back on the very next bet...most unfortunately, for me, that 'dream' never ever quite dies; and, hence, the nature of my ever constant non-stop addiction.
The only good thing about it is...because I was relatively flat broke; therefore, I couldn't make a really big deposit...so, the full extent of my losses amounts to loosing just merely a fiver. I'm not particularly proud of that...as when you're broke a fiver is plenty money to have to loose; and, I well and truly miss not having it still to go and spend, anymore. However, I'm no longer loosing seriously large sums: £100/500/1000+/-etc.; and, that's got to be a good thing.
8 AM PHONED TALK TALK -(DIAL: 100)- TO CONFIRM BALANCE
I had a chat with TalkTalk customer service over my home phone: (dial 100); and, they have confirmed that my current balance is £95.00 CR.; and, also, this months November payment has already been paid; which means the rest of that credit balance can go towards the next 3 months...as a payment in advance.
I made two further enquires...
> What is the number of Directory Enquiries (they said they are no longer doing that service, anymore)
> They mentioned to me that I should go and download...SuperSafe for Windows PC (because I hadn't previously downloaded it...in order to make my internet connection more secure)

11:00 AM PHONED BRITISH GAS/GAVE NEW METER READINGS
When I tried talking to British Gas in order to determine what is the state of my accounts...they requested 2 meter readings...for 1st floor gas/electric; after I gave them the requested info.; they informed me that, currently, I owe...
GAS: £100.95 (bill due on the 28th of this month/14 days to pay)
ELECTRICITY: £356.59 (payment arrangement set up: £96.00 monthly from 15 DEC/payment card to arrive within 7 to 10 days time)
Frankly, I can hardly believe this...I was so sure that I was in credit on the Gas by £5.xx/and, that there was only £100.00 left remaining to pay on the Electricity. But, instead, I now have to pay a further £457.54!
11:30 AM PHONED COUNCIL TAX/PAID LAST INSTALMENT OF £31.00 COVERING THIS YEARS BILL/NEXT BILL DUE: APRIL 2020/OUTSTANDING BILL STILL TO PAY: YEARS 2017-2018 FOR £1000+...!
Paid £31.00 Council Tax covering the last regular monthly payment instalment for this year.
The next Council Tax bill will be due April 2020.
The really bad news was when I spoke to them...was they said there was still an outstanding 'unpaid' Council Tax bill for years: 2017 - 2018; costing £1000+. I tried talking to them to say I'm too poor to be able to afford it...; but, frankly, they weren't interested in listening. Eventually, a sort of compromise was reached where they said they would send me a form to go fill in...where I can state how much of the 'unpaid' bill I can afford to pay.
11 PM PAID DOWNSTAIRS ELECTRIC BILL: £25.00 (£15 + £10)
For the last 2/or, 3 months -possibly, more- I've been using a torch to move around downstairs whenever it gets dark.
The last time, I went and paid £10.00 on the downstairs PAYG/Pay As You Go electric meter...; I was surprised to see that there was still 'no lights'...?! When I looked at the digital readout message on the meter... it said, I still owe £18.00+...this is due to the accumulation of regular 'standing charges'...which, I think, costs somewhere in the region of £2.50 monthly.
Today, I decided I've had quite enough of using torches, downstairs...; if only to see if the electric lighting downstairs still works, effectively(no bulbs blown/-etc).
The first time I went down the road was to make a £15.00 payment onto the PAYG meter card; came back home and inserted the card...and, still 'no lights'?!
I had to go back down the road to make another £10.00 payment; then, when I returned back home...; inserted the payment card...there was just £5.00 worth of electricity left; but, at least, the lights are now back 'on'.
I'm afraid, £5.00 worth of Electricity is not going to last that long...maybe, only 2/3 days at most...; so, pretty soon I'm going to have to top up, again. I think, it cost at least £20.00 per month to be running downstairs electricity.
To tell the truth, I cannot recall when was the last time I played at William Hill and won...and, also, managed to 'withdraw' my winnings when being still on top...instead, 99 times out of 100...even when on top...I keep on betting until I've gone and lost it all.
