We prefer to have our space to ourselves Taking them out to dinner, though. No way am I slaving over a stove on a Friday night. Going to a little Lebanese restaurant nearby. Stunning food and informal setting. Called Manouche. Lamb kebabs have my name on them :goodjob: Won't let the fact that I had just as fantastic a lunch. Italian place, had various cold meats, olives and a caprese salad to start, followed by a delectable veal served with mash and a rich butter and herb sauce.

Enjoy your evening, folksies!
I like - no, love - your tastes!!

Away to check prices to Saffaland, cos i want a bit of what Mr T's having

Well, it?s been a bit sad around here since yesterday morning. The BF's mother's cat (who was the BF's favourite kitty) was put to sleep this morning as he was diagnosed with liver cancer yesterday. His brother that?s coming for the weekend took the cat in to be put to sleep before starting his drive down from Jacksonville. Me? I?m trying not to dwell because it brings up memories of my past fur babies. You know? it was because of two cats being put to sleep that I found MWO? I was so distraught over MacGregor and Seamus having to be euthanized that I went on a God Almighty bender which resulted in me trolleyed and crying, surfing the internet, looking for any kind of help I could find. I started lurking, mostly on the Army thread, in December 2008 and picked up the courage to join in Jan 2009. Fookez moi? that?s over 4 ? years ago. Anyhoo? going to gird me loins here for the arrival of the BF?s sad bro. I have him all to meself for a few hours before yer wan indoors gets home and I so hope he?s going to be OK. They were all very attached to this cat.

And as chance would have it? taking my cats to the vet at 2.30 for their annual shots and exams.

What else? Oh yeah, went to a posh hairdresser yesterday and got a nice cut, colour and highlights. I usually colour it myself so that was a rare treat for me! ) The highlights look really neat and, unfortunately, I don?t see me being able to give them up which is a pain in the arse as it was expensive.

And been getting estimates for the bedroom opening scenario. Feckin contractors here are a NIGHTMARE.

And? I think that?s it! Calm before the storm I reckon. My mate Kenny is bringing a canopy to erect on the back deck tomorrow as the weather forecast ain?t looking too great. And an outside cooker. The ones with the kids have now added on a dog as well so I?m moving the whole thing outdoors. If my cats saw the dog they?d shit. He?s a really neat dog? extremely affectionate? but too big & bouncy for the kitties.

Aww Zendude - not good about the BF's favourite kitty there... and heck, didn't realise your way to finding MWO. I find those specific moments fascinating - what finally makes any individual finally bring themselves to search alcohol/drinking on the internet... and the process to posting... whether it be straight away or years later.

Anyways :l to you and :goodjob: on the highlights!

:wavin: and yooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooooos and good evenings.

First a wee bit of an apology to you D'Arsey. Got a bit carried away last night with my favourite topic addiction and the harm it can do and I'm afraid you bore the brunt of the frustration I had at work last week.

Going to have a read back.

Gee Jacs :l

Look, you've got a bucket load more experience when it comes to addiction - you counsel people on it, you make it your job to help addictees (is that a new word i just invented?!) - and i totally respect and listen to what you say. Really Jacs, I DO. And even IF my actions were ever to go against your sound advice, it's not done in disrespect or because i've not listened. Quite the opposite.

I can be naive, perhaps even ignorant in some matters. Just trying to learn and fumble through... And if i came across as curt or abrupt yesterday I apologise too.

Wanna go play in the park?

Ooh errr UKayBee. A cordless hoover, how decadent.

Zennifer, sorry about the cats. It still half kills me me when I think of my luvverly Sir Dylan the Dog.
Nice one on the highlights. Dya remeber back in the day they were called streaks.

Well there's an offer I haven't had in a while. Meet you round the back of the tennis courts.

Addiction is a complicate business. I only realised at Christmas that I'm addicted to nicotine (she says with a cig hanging out the side of her mouth a la Coronation Street) and when I give that up I'm going to have to treat it as what it is. An addiction.

Ohh in the next couple of weeks I get to have bit of a chat with someone who had a cracj addiction. I know absolutely nothing about that. I'll be able to bore the pants of youse then.
