Good morning, folksies

Thank feck it's POETS day! Not a moment too soon.

Have to deal with mum's little stillnox habit when I get home... she managed to get through 7 tablets in less than 48 hours. The eldest cub had to confiscate some in the middle of the night, when she went into his room talking gibberish. He left us a note to explain what happened. She was totally out of it when we got home yesterday afternoon as well. Dog knows, I don't really have the energy to take this on.

Have a lekker Friday, Army.

Not good news, Tips - so sorry to hear. School holidays, so I suppose the cubs are at home to keep an eye on her? Not that it should be their responsibility, but...

And morning to you and Molly and all to come yet.

Molly, you may as well move in with the dentist, seeing you're spending so much time there! Can you not use your ciggy money to pay the evil man? I meant to start a ciggy fund when I stopped, haven't done so yet, but I think a fat wad of notes will also help when those awful thoughts sneak in. Was at Mr Nice last night and people were smoking - could have killed for a puff or four.

Clever way to save! No, can't say that I'm gagging, but I miss the way that a ciggy used to punctuate my day: A full stop after a meal of a coffee, a comma while I was busy with something, a question mark while I was pondering the secrets of the universe - you get my drift. Not smoking while at my laptop was not as bad as I expected it to be; still miss one when getting into my car - driving while smoking must be one of the great pleasure of life. Of course, being off the booze makes a huge difference - years ago when I was trying to quit smoking, I realised I had to stop drinking as well, seeing that the two are conjoined twins. Would you believe that I gave up the booze, no problem, but not the cigs, so went back to drinking again... Can only mean that I never was an alkie, and can support the wine industry again :H:H:H

As JC (I think) said - make sure there's a sensitive body part to hold on to when the pain gets too bad...

Good morning Tipperooo, Mollymooo, Dreamydooooo,

Shit that's a hard one, Tips, hun. Had to do the google thing to see what they are.

Ahh and Molls, step away from the JS stuff...........it is vile...........the rumours of him and mortuaries have been about for years......turns out they're true, I nearly threw up in the car yesterday when I heard.........but what really gets me..............people must have known..........they must have.

Oh and why is JC at home today.......nipping into town on a secret mission of buying a few wee gifts for Mr JC.............going in tomorrow instead.

Molls -my SIL has to be THE most annoying person in th world.
I saw her through sober eyes this time.

Me & Mr S had bruised ankles from kicking each other under the table every night -when with a few drinks taken she'd start again with the LOOK AT ME /TALK TO ME/ AM I LOVELY / LOOK AT MY DRESS ( for the 10th time) oh jazus we were a captive audience.
.No-where to go in the small village - eating outdoors.

Her husband ignores her -so we were next target.
Then when she got bored of me - the non-drinker she just took off to another table and chat to them - and usually got another brandy :egad:

She drinks like an alky - cannot stop once she starts - then is incoherent usually.

I KNOW I was as bad but - at least in the end I stayed at home and kept myself to myself.....
I hope to FECK I was at least good company when I was out and not so rude as to leave the table because the drink had run out

Kinda have to go with the flow.
The brothers are very close - but next year I will be gathering up more family to come and dilute the whole thing.

I always took her yabbering incessantly about NOTHING in small doses - but 12 months will be enough for me to forget how bad it was.

She is talking about 'when'she gives up the drink ----- etc etc etc.... so maybe she will ??
She's annoying sober too though:H

I'd LOVE you to meet her Molls - now that would be fun .....she'd have your whole life story in 10 minutes. All the nitty gritty - even stuff that's none of her business.:H:H
