Good morning Tips hope Mrs T feeling better now, is it anything to do with procedure last week?

Have a good day at work Sweetie wasn't it the hottest day for years in Northern Ireland yesterday?

How are things at home Molly? My daughter and children going to stay with her sister next week and then her mother in law. I wonder if joey could go with them.

RC The London Marathon people have made a mistake methinks as the first email said good for age. I do not think there will be many 67 year old women lining up at the front of the start next year:H Yes doing Chester Mr C

Have a great day wherever you are

Absolutely loads better.
Gone into gratitude mode. Very grateful to have had him in my life for all my years and grateful that I'm sober to be here for my family.

A library in an old church, how lovely. Have a great day, medallion woman.:l

Belated good morning army :hallo:

Hope Mrs T is feeling better tips?

Can empathise with you on the sunburn peapie...though I'll still go out and do a spot of pruning in the garden in the sun shortly.

Great that you're going to get your privacy back again mrs a

Sounds quite pleasant working in a cool church/library molly. 8 months seems like a long time for simon to be working abroad....does it not bother you?

Glad you're feeling better Jackie.

Hey u Guys
Just wanted to say thanks to RunningCourage, Sweetpea and Molly for helping me through my drama over the weekend, had a read through your suggestions again today, easier to process when you're a few steps away from the drama, since then I have have been through a fine medley of emotions, and confusions but I processed it, tried to find my own truth, cried, got angry, meditated, and drink didn't even come into the equation. Its hard to imagine the pain I put myself through before going through emotional stuff and washing it down with drink that filled my head with lies. I met up with a good friend that night and had a right good chat about it, one of the gifts of sobriety was friends and family genuinely coming back into my life. Today I'm coming back to myself thank God but once again thank you and so glad I met ye on these boards.

That aside hope ye are all enjoying the sun this side of the world, not sure I'm built for this heat with my lovely pale and interesting Irish complexion, have a super day one and all wherever you are

Oh Jackie - I'm so glad you reached that stage - you will laugh at memories and that's ok :l

Molls - get thee to work - ENJOY the sun at lunchtime
PP sorry for the sunburn - that'll learn ya - is it peeling.?
We do that a few times in our lives then we learn - burn = peel :thumbsup:

Now my moan:
Mr S's cousin that he saw intermittantly died age 58.



I got the inquisition this morning -

• "Burial - Thursday - ARE YOU GOING ?" - er NO - 'cos I'll be in the hospital with a camera in dark places at 7.30 am - I have to be dropped & collected 2 hours later - and 'minded' for 12 hours."Well go Tomorrow night to the church" - er - NO - I have to evacuate my bowel and will be on the loo from 6pm tomorrow.

Got quite heated then - what time would I be finished ? and I was told that HE was going to the funeral - no matter what on Thursday.
Well at least I know now where I am in the pecking order.
I get the impression it's all 'for show' d'ya know ? Kinda here we all are - wives in tow kinda thing ......
I will get a taxi to the hospital - see how that goes ...........

Really p***ed off !:upset:


Thanks for allowing the rant :l

Lunchtime hello.

Glad you're feeling better Jacs.

Molls can I come and work in an old cool church, cos me office is a fecking furnace and all I want to do is sleep in an ice cold bath.

Sugarbeat, :l and good on ya for staying so strong

Reccie enjoy popping into the garden. Wear sunscreen.

Doc, och... Hang on a mo ... so is Mr S not got any sympathy for you having to go into hospital? Sounds as if - and correct me I'm wrong- that its not like he cousin was the nearest and dearest and as you say it's more for show? That stinks imo. Well, although we can't be there with you, the army will be thinking about you on thurs. :l:l

Thanks loverly RC for the vote of confidence :h
May not be ALL for show - but I feel it is sometimes - I didn't even KNOW the man. May have met him say 30 years ago - once ! But I am expected to go. Mr S imo is a bully sometimes & puts me on a guilt trip for not being ALL about his family
But hey guess what ? I am not like him - have my own way of dealing with things - I WOULD go if I could - as it is his close relation but ....

Thanks Again RC :l
