hey Cleve, dont feel bad i used to do it all the time. here's what you do.... before you start gaming, make a short or long list of little extra things you want or need around the house. maybe even an extra night out with your woman. calculate what you need for each item and withdraw enough for each item. sooner or later there will be no more list. heck i started doing this about 18 months ago and now we have 3 large flatscreens, a giant home stereo and basically no more items on my list. just an idea.
I do exactly the same, if you have strict guidelines in place for your gambling funds (ie:- spare cash), you have basically accepted you will lose it anyway, so what the hell, so I set myself targets over the past 18-20 months, from a flat screen T.V., home theatre system, new HD 21" monitor, a £1500 king size pine bed and Memory Foam Mattress, new Android phone, work tools, and some treats for close friends and family, every time I look at the stuff I bought out of funds that would have otherwise been ploughed back into the casinos, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside (although this may also, be down to the drugs
)
.
And Cleveland you romantic fool, do this.....Set up a bank account purely for that holiday of a life time with your woman, the more you win and withdraw, the better the holiday, the better the holiday, the better your relationship (not saying your relationship needs a boost, but, all those things you have hinted to her which resulted in a slapped face, will start to happen, hell you will even be able to leave the toilet seat up, with out being beaten to death with a rolling pin), the better your relationship = meh, you catch my drift
