Good morning Expat, Tiptronic, Satz, KTAB, Firefox, Anon, Mario, StirlyG, Molly, JackieC, Lovely morning here in the UK. Well, though to Day 4 with as much resolve as when I started but I am a little scared that I won't maintain it, but for now, just here and now. For time being will also log on round about betwitching hour when I get home to give myself a mission. Interesting post by RJ. It has been apparent for some years that the site is a little out of date, but really, does this matter? I think it's amazing that RJ has continued to stay committed because as she says, she's moved on. All I know is that the day I inadvertently came across this site, was the day that I felt I'd some support and wasn't alone - even when I don't log on, I browse. I hope with all my heart that she continues to support this site but that's a huge commitment to ask from anyone. Anyhow, good morning all and thank you for your support as I edge nearer to my first short term goal. Px

It may seem scary or hard and I know I used to think 'I cannot do this for the rest of my life' - you won't - but for the first week or so the alcohol is still screaming for you, but if you don't feed it - day by day it just gets easier - truly. Yes you prolly will need to change some stuff in your life further down the line - but AT THIS STAGE - you don't have to DO anything --- just don't drink - and don't think ahead - ya know what they say -- tomorrow never comes
Morning Pinky - how's you - asides being knackered? I'm beginning to wake up now. Rang my healthcare company - and managed to get my cover down from 311 yoyo's a month to 184 -- bloody hell - that's some difference
Skye won't budge - but they're bringing in a broadband package in a month or so and he tells me they'll have good introductory offers so will wait for that.
Right gonna get brekkie - then think about the washing machine:upset:

Feckin' Brekkie at 10 am ------ :shocked:

:H
Afternoon Army. Yeppers-talking out our problems does help.:l
Sadly, I can not say feck all today. But I may take a teeny weeny nana nap (maybe 20-30 minutes-will set alarm). Ate way too much salmon pasta with cream sauce for lunch.
Still have the hoovering to do and collect the little one for his speech therapy this afternoon. "Back to school" and the old routine , it is! At least the weather is warm and lovely. I've got all the windows open.

It was yummy Molly! :H But I feel like I've put on about 5 pounds just getting up from the table. I do love cream sauces, chips, cheese...all the wrong things. :upset: Haven't gained any weight yet though! But I could probably use Pinky's abdo blaster program thingy soon if I continue like this! :H
Off for a very quick nana nap/meditation before I attack the rest of my "chores".
Where ya going for lunch with the ex-roomie?

OK now I have yous here I need advice. DD wants 3 of us to go to OZ at Christmas :
– in short –I don’t know what to do . This has all been so up in the air for so long we haven’t really thought about it fully.
This wiil be up to Mr Satz as it is HIS pot of money. I do not have it myself at this time and would take a long time to save it.
If I was to be asked : I would prefer to help young Satz to get here for Christmas or in Spring / early Summer and then possibly we all go next year when he is settled. (DD 'says' he won't accept any more money from us but it doesn’t MATTER that we helped him already – that’s what family is for )
The cons at Christmas are :
• Large outlay of money so soon after house stuff – and the pot is almost dry – well too dry to spend 8K.
• Leaving my mother at Christmas with my sis - she likes to come to ours
• I have no holidays left in work so have to take at my own expense
• I won’t be happy ‘till young satz is at that desk in new job and up & running and then he can enjoy our visit.

So that’s it. My preference is to have him home here and we can help with that – we want to – ‘cos to my mind we could get him here 10 times for what it would cost us to go.
But DD is putting us on a guilt trip and 'working' on Dad cos :
• She has the holidays,
• She's been saving the plane fare
• Young Satz will be off for 10 days at Christmas to hangout
I've told her to go and we will go next year. What do yous think ?
What would you do?

Thanks Molls - yep my head & heart are telling me that it's too soon. Need to plan it more.
Yep let DD go !

He's been gone 2 years but - hey - he LOVES it over there and it's not an ordeal for him to stay there.
He has said he'll be home in early Summer - so yes I think we should wait 'till then.

Ah feck it - then I say - sure let's throw caution to the wind - life is short - let's go !!!

Everyone is being too polite - he doesn't want to take any more money - he says it would be great for us to go and "totally understands" if we can't afford it but !

Me head is melted so it is !!! :upset:
I'll ask the universe to give me a sign
