WHERES THE MONEY?

As the police have already discovered, I have no money left. Where did it all go? 100s of 1000s in cash. Blown! I lived like a premier league footballer for quite a few years, I was very generous, I would say more foolish then generous, I would tip the man at the till in MacDonald’s £50!. I am embarrassed to write some of the things I did and these being top of my list. One day in a bar in Reading it was a bit slow to pick up so I put a £1000 on the bar just to show off, I parked my convertible baby blue Ferrari right outside the main doors so everyone could see it! Walking over to the bar with my pal at my side I pulled out a bag of sand (grand) and gave the lot to the barman telling him to get every bottle off the wall and pure them into the shot glasses to give them out to everyone in the place! I was mental! With my gold Daytona Rolex on my wrist I thought looked the nuts, really I was a big old fool craving for attention. The attention I got was celebrity. The firm nicked named me Daytona. One day whilst doing my rounds of the bars I pulled up at a bar parking the Ferrari out the front right in the centre of town, half hour later a police recovery truck pulled up, I was in the middle of telling some girl how I was the editor of GQ magazine! The police came in and asked for the keys saying they was seizing it for a proceeds of crime order, I handed over the keys without bother, I didn’t want them to think it hurt me. Made a call and had a brand new BMW M3 cab dropped off and parked in the place of the Ferrari. I was so smug and arrogant it was unbelievable! One month period I had got through a suitcase full of money, wasting it on coke, clubs and flash living, I would regularly spend £1,500 for just one night in hotel!.

£50.000 went on a one year old BMW M5, I watched it on top gear and Clarkson bigged it right up. I had to have one, I found one that was fully loaded with leather dash board and suede roof lining, as I couldn’t buy it in my own name due to loosing the Ferrari, I got an old pal to buy it for me, the police did their best to seize it but after having it for a few weeks they had to give it back, loosing 100k in the Ferrari 458 and the loss of parts, in total this charge cost me near on 200k!

I was a fool with money, but with no guidance from anyone I’m not surprised why, anyway money was easy to get, I could earn 20-30k for one car! I could afford to waste money, if I didn’t spend it the police would only take it at the next proceeds of crime case! So why not....give me 5 more bottles of that Crystal please..and another pair of Gucci shoes! That was what I would think. Money made me angry anyway, id burn it in front of people to make a point. What a fool I was! Looking back at my life I have so many regrets.

I could go out of prison next year and get back into the shipping of cars and easily earn 40k a month! But I’m not going to because I’ve found something that money can’t buy.


I’ve found ACCEPTANCE and the love of God through Jesus...
