Goooooood morning, Army

Had a surprisingly good sleep for a Sunday night. Managed to avoid a nanna nap, so that helped. Bonus: three meals for the week cooked and frozen, which should make my evenings more relaxed.

Have a lekker Monday, all!

Joey's out of his big fancy bedroom and back into the little small one he used to be in - two bedrooms being reclaimed - he's going to hand up proper money into the house - the mates are banned after midnight - and if he doesn't like the above he has to leave and get a flat --- bald as that!!
I feckin HATE nastiness goin on around me in the house, but this needs to be done.... yuck!!!
I'm ok tho
How are you?

That all sounds very sensible to me molly, not that I know the first thing about how to lay down the law to a 19 yr old. Actually, I think you're being very reasonable in even allowing Joey's mates to stay until midnight sometimes. It's good that Joe'll be around to help maintain order this week though. It must've been a very unpleasant surprise to wake up to all those "guests" yesterday. Maybe if Joey had warned you in advance it might have lessened the shock a little? Actually, I couldn't help wondering how you managed to sleep through it all. And yeah..it can't be nice having nastiness in the house. Hopefully that'll blow over sooner rather than later. Glad you're ok!

I'm fine thanks, got absolutely nothing to complain about although I wouldn't have minded an extra hour's kip. There...I did find something to complain about!

No - no advance warning would have been ok yesterday - Joe doesn't understand this bit - but the fact these 'friends' were all complete strangers to me just made it worse -- Joey seems to be moving on from group to group of pals --- screaming of addictive behaviour to me.......
The men in AA yesterday seemed to agree with me on that one - bit like 'geographical' change that addicts do --- you know, you've burnt all your bridges and run out of 'drinking' or 'drugging' mates ---- so you move on......we'll see.
Once Joe sticks to his guns on this one - he's become a big soft lummux in latter years

Gawd Molls, now I hear that I think you managed wonderfully. I would have keeeeeeeeeeeellllllled them.

Ah you poor love --- what was it? Just worn out or is there more??
Mind you - I was in bed last night before 9!!!!!!

Just worn out emotionally. It doesn't matter how many times I think about the lovely times we had with my uncle. The fact he's not here any more comes over me in waves.

The wooziness and nausea seem to part and parcel of when I get over emotional.

Yep...I can definitely understand how the fact that the friends were complete strangers would have exacerbated the situation molls. And yeah, I can see how you would be worried about Joey changing his friends like that too. Hope you and joe can find ways to improve the situation.

Best be thinkin of breakfast ---- had no appetite yesterday but starvin-marvin today -- need to gird my loins for another week in Garristown:H

Aye, I drank away the grief with my Pa. TBH thought it was the normal thing to do.

Think I need a few days away. Get yer tent out, Reccy, I'm on me way.

Apart from when my Ma was feeding me or spooning it into my mouth I've never really eaten breakfast.

Mind you when I was drinking I didn't eat lunch or dinner either.

Yoooooo hoooo Our Whizzy,

You're right grief affects us all differently. I keep catching Mr JC shedding a few tears for him. They were proper best mates.

I :h Chester. Mr JC did his Law exams down there. Haven't been for an age.

Nice bit of boiled gammon tonight.

Have my shin beef simmering away anyhows and it's gonna be DELISH!!!!

Yes, although I had to go google it.

Had to google skirt as well and it's come up with flank. Still none the wiser.

Reccy where is you?
