Hi Lou, I tried to download Gamban to my smartphone and  had a problem; I couldn't seem to get past stage 2 (of 3) of the setup. (Setting up the VPN.). But I found a way round it and am now set up Ok.  Happy to chat about my workaround on Chat later.

Thanks roch mine is all set up but isnt working but hopefully it will get sorted. 

My mood seems to be all over the place lately in morning ive been so tired and not able to do much..after 2pm i seem to perk up a bit and managing to get up and do little bits around the flat which has been a goal for me. But then by evening 9pm i seem to get down again. At least im having a period where i feel more energy and a bit better. Back at work tomorrow ..just getting up at 5.30am will of course be a challenge.

Lou x

Will be thinking of you and wishing you well over the coming week Lou. Hopefully the hospitals will be less traumatic as the number of covid cases reduce. You are a true hero in my eyes and I am proud you are my gamcare friend.

Congratulations on your excellent progress in stopping gambling and respect for the support and encouragement you give to your fellow travellers. I often see your posts around the forum and always have a good read of them.

Aum x

May I echo Stephen's sentiments here, Lou.  We're all with you as you return to work.  A hero and a genuinely decent, pleasant, caring person too 🙂
