NO NO NO- that is wrong - you are entitled ..... you work full time - you like a nice house - so why the feck not ?????? ?10 an hour ???
Typical mammy the martyr effort - we think we are not good enough - I did it for years. House used to get me soooo down -drove me to drink :H
tbh was apart of it - so depressing to spend days off dusting.
Took so long to do it - they'd all moved out when I got a cleaner:H
It's only 2 hours a week -but makes SUCH a difference to my mood when I come home.
even my mother thinks it's a GREAT idea !!:egad:

Morning army thanks for posting that lovely quote Satz and Jc for the lovely bunny pic oh and for coffee Dreamy and what looked like jelly beans in the mugs? I don't eat jellies mints and chocolate is my treats now. I was struggling a bit yesterday with al thoughts not that I wanted to drink but just that annoying feeling of thinking of a drink so I went to an AA meeting a short bus journey away and that helped. Was a small meeting and we had a laugh. I met an old neighbour there who is on my fb and I didn't realise he was a long time sober and regular AA goer so we had a nice chat and another girl I have bumped in to at meetings and now we are friends on fb. Jesus need all the help I can get at times. Going to another meeting todaqy in Bray at 1pm and the Library after to bring back a book and cds. Just had 2nd coffee and thinking of a boiled egg with brown soda bread and orange juice for brekkie. Been catcvhing up on house work and laundry during the week. Yesterday did the double back door and front one and me fecking arms and back were aching but better this morning. Did some hovering also and washed the hall floor. Have a super sober Saturday i'll be back later.out::cat::cupajoe:awprint:

Well done Foxy !!! That was good going not drinking .......:goodjob:
I'm proud of you Mrs :l
As I said before living alone is much much harder -
If I had a drink at home I'd have to answer to Mr S -or hide it :egad: and that is just too much like hard work.
I could go out to pub and I know nothing would be said -but again too much like hard work .............
Did I tell yiz I'm a lazy COW ??:H

Morning Foxy! Those it would be nice to have a glass of wine thoughts - are they from the devil or what? Have had them on and off for the past few weeks - not a craving, just the thought... Well done you on resisting them!!! And house cleaning - superFoxy is who you are! :l:l:l I thought it was Smarties in the mugs - M&Ms your side?

Satz, I think living alone is easier - I would hate having somebody in the house who drank, or who could do the one drink and not even finish it thing. At least I make the rules here. Although, there was a lovely post in the Nest this morning from somebody who'd asked her husband to go shopping for her; she told him when he came back that she was worried that she might cave in in the shop and buy Al, he just said "any time". Warm fuzzies, there.

Just had my omelette - guess it was lunch and not brekky. For once the omelette came out well - it normally morphs into scrambled eggs gone wrong. I now have a kit hen to clean, but since I was up long before sparrows, maybe a nana nap? Decisions, decisions, decisions.

I came rushing back, and now she's gone...

I came rushing back here too. Not that I have checked in yet

Decided to give myself a kick up the bum as drinking thoughts raising their ugly head:upset:

What Molly said about the kindness here struck such a chord and I feel that is what I am missing at home.
Going out for a walk in the sunshine as that always makes me feel better

Hiya Mrs. A :l

I'll settle for dappled shade at this end of the world

If your bum wasn't so skinny and my aim so poor, who knows what might have happened...
