Late check in here.
Thank you all so much for a great weekend, so great to share with people who know and understand more about us than our close families.

Special thanks to Molly who has the true gift of hospitality amongst other talents
Journey home once back in the UK was a problem due to missing a train and then taking hours to get home.

I enjoyed my run on Saturday morning and not only came 1st in my category I broke their course record for the age group. I bet they hate me :H
Best bit was seeing Satz,Molly and JC as I ran in to the finish:new:

Hello to all my Army friends

I'll join yis for a nap. Dog tired today, even though I had a wee nap on the flight.

Anon I'm sorry your journey was crap. Thanks for having breakfast with me on sun....even if they didn't have the right yoghurts and the bacon was hard....

Hey Army! It has been a while......had a major problem with my computer. think it was either hacked or a virus. computer was white-light only for weeks. Left me so worried about anything I had written online. I tried to have my posts here taken down but got no response from MWO. Gave me a scare....
glad to hear you all had a great time at your meet-up at the weekend.
Been laid up since Easter with the flu. self-medicating with alcohol is not helping so I am gonna give it a go today. On a good note, I will be off smoking 2 weeks tomorrow.

thanks Molly. I am still in bed. get breathless even when talking, so I am gonna give myself the best chance at getting better. I just do not get sick and this is the second flu in 2 months.....think it may be stress-related.
gonna make it my goal to be AF and go to your next meet-up. Sounds like you all had a ball.

Well, I am officially jealous of the great time it seems you all had. My best to each of you in yor recovery from the weekend. It appears that sleep and less jaw-work probably are in order for all of you over the next few days.
Quiet weekend-NOT- for me. I had granddaughers on Friday, Saturday, and again on Sunday afternoon. We did silk-screening, geocaching, cooking....drying tears and listening to anger.
So maybe I am glad to be back at work so I can rest! LOL

Ah, it sounds like a totally luverly weekend that some of my favourite peeps had there! It's really therapeutic to be able to chat about our similarities as addicts... and with all the senses of humour, I can only imagine how good yis felt after. :h And there's our Whizzy racing to the finish line to boot. Just.plain.luverly.!!!

And it's great to see you Daisy! Glad you're getting to grips with it. Join me on the bus... I'm on Day Two of quitting the fags... in the early days, it's pretty much the same thing whether it's fags, booze or drugs. We just need to hang in there and wait for it to get better. And it will!

Now, serious matters... pog ma thoin... I have taught loads of Americans how to say that. Laboriously, I might add... I made sure the accent was perfect. And once they got it down pat, and I knew they'd not forget it in a hurry... I told them "no it doesn't mean it's nice to meet you"... *major sniggering!* :H:H:H

Aye Mollers... and the weekend you had is one step better than AA. These people really REALLY get you! )

Sorry about the work thing. I really NEED to get a JOB! Yis'll all be laughing at me when I do. Payback is a bitch!

I haven't googled it yet. Did Margaret Thatcher really pass?

Oh NO!!! She did! I must call me Mam now... she'll be all upset. Gawd, I want a FAG!

[Zenstyle]

Army Fred 8th April, 2013

Oh Mollers!!! :H:H:H

Now, get this. I had NO CLUE that my mother stopped smoking 16 years ago yesterday. The same fecking day as me? Out of 365? How weird is that? I suppose I have to make it stick! Feck.

She is highly supportive at the same time as being tongue in cheek and when we were hanging up she sez "Now have a nice day!!!" Cowbag! :H I'm as grumpy as can be. lol

I want a fag! Badly!

Right.... rehab 101. Sit down, calm down... look within. Then look without. Big world out there without cigarettes to ruin my health. OMG... it's KEELING me today! I'm not sure what is harder any more, the fags or the booze.

I'm going to buy something! Feck it. Been needing a new toaster oven and I reckon I'll go get one.

I look like Godzilla. My hair is up in a pin and it's sticking out all over the place! OMG... I'm laughing. OK... I can do this. I'm not buying smokes. I'm done with it. For good this time.

I know this is not a smoking forum, but it's really the same principals that apply for both at the start.

Is Reccy home yet? And Starty?
