I couldn't reallly get out of it, satz. On the plus side, the inn where we met was very comfortable and it had a really enticing Italian menu. We were both very pleased with the food, so agreed that in future when we meet (groan!) we'll go back to the same place. For once, my brother was slightly less depressing than usual, so it wasn't too bad a day.

On the way home I stopped off at Sainsbury's and who should I bump into in the car park, but my former counsellor. He looked rather scruffy and unshaven (in fairness, I'm hardly in a position to judge anyone on that score ). Apparently work is thin on the ground and he's on the lookout for more in order to make ends meet.

ps
How are the Ubermag going ? Any difference ?
Working too well for me - can't wait to get to bed & can't wake up :H

I'm sleeping bucketloads, satzy. TBH, it's hard to tell if it's cos of the booze or the Ubermag. What I am sure of is that in the 10 or so days since I started taking all sorts of supplements (multivitamins, multiminerals, zinc, magnesium, and probiotics) the alcohol cravings have greatly diminished. I can last longer without a drink. The supplements have probably paid for themselves already in terms of reduced spending on whisky.

Did you really get the Ubermag for $10 or are you being kind to me? I'll definitely place an order when the tub is nearly empty, but I'm a little bit worried about customs, cos L-tryptophan is prescription-only here in the UK.

Boss just been in and told me to start looking for another job pronto - they're gonna shut this office down in the next couple of months - it was a "don't hang about, if you get an offer to ge next week, go" !!! No notice to serve - just fuck off.

I knew it was gonna be a shite day today.

I can't believe my life.

Shit questie, I'm really sorry to hear that. :l I hope you can find another job soon.

I hauled myself out of the bed - throughly pissed off couldn't think of another excuse to cancel out of gym - so went.
Back home then & pissed off again - (not quite as much though) - that I had to then go to work.
I have eventually come around - we kinda have to don't we ?
How succinct. Yes we do eventually come round and we do kinda have to - yer so right Satz. Oi fink oim turning into a very old lazy curmudgeon well before me time.

Questy - that is royally shite. When do you hear about the job interview... could that be a silver lining? :l

Just like what Satz said really. But mind not to ignore what is p'ing you off. I know I don't always deal with things and they only get pushed under the surface to fester... inside me... and it grows kinda ugly!

Glad you enjoyed the grub at least Reccie. And that your brother wasn't quite as depressing as on previous occasions.

I am glad the supps seem to be helping the whisky cravings. Are you looking to gradually taper down?

I know ubermag was mentioned lately as to what it means, but I forget. Can someone remind me. I just have visions of a very large magazine.

Peeps do seem to be a bit low around here. So (and because it's dinner time too) I have found what was the funniest you tube clip about 2 years ago (I think) for you all... If nothing else it's 2 minutes of giggles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGeKSiCQkPw[/video]]Ultimate Dog Tease - YouTube

Shall I get the biscuits out as well.

Sorry you're down as well Foxy -- need I say that drink would only make it all seem so much worse?? Prolly not, but sometimes I find I need people to say things to me that should be obvious - here's another hug for you:l
Weeping and gnashing of teeth here too - poor Joey appears to have not got the Canadian visa - not sure why or what the story is - he's virtually inconsolable here, so not getting a lot of sense out of him. I ventured that he had Mum and Dad behind him 100% and could feel his pain - thought he'd give me a box - instead he gave me a hug and told me it meant a lot --- WOW!!! Poor old kid tho, wish he was 6 and I could sort out his worries!
Evening to everyone else - sorry prolly missing loads of stuff, but obviously I'm a bit distracted at the mo!!

Ah Molls- how sweet he gave ya a hug. He's lucky has a Mam like ya
