August Army 2016....Gates are open

[JackieClaire]

Evening , we should all go cold turkey from internet shopping for a whole week.............says the woman who bought these about midnight last night.

Women's leather brogues Mademoiselle R | La Redoute. Got a lovely denim dress in M&S and thought they'd make a good combo.

Jenny arrived and went. Prattled on about weddings, where, when...................and Las Vegas came up.............of course I mentioned my friend lovely Pauly...............so if she doesn't mind us fronting up at her house for a week and feeding us..........we could prolly afford the flight

[paulywogg]

No problem Jackie haha

[JackieClaire]

Good morning, even if you haven't got a lot to say just a check in will do.

No problem Jackie haha

Knew I could depend on you..........You're are darling......

[satz123]

Can we come too !!! :rant:

[JackieClaire]

Going to Vegas to watch Jenny get married, then back to Pauly's. I'm sure she'll get us all in

[JackieClaire]

Even just talking the day to day stuff..............shows we're living sober.
Remember when we used to do food porn? I used to get some great ideas for dinners.

Good morning...

Going to Vegas to watch Jenny get married, then back to Pauly's. I'm sure she'll get us all in

I am extremely excited about the wedding!! A big thank you to Jenny for the invite and Pauly for accommodating us all:harhar::harhar::harhar:
Actually I would love to visit LV, it's on my list. Maybe I should have done it as a drinker!! Although a friend in work goes every year and they don't drink.

Food porn.. I'm in.
Cornedbeef is on the menu today, not very sexy. But I'll roast cauliflower, usually 'tarts' it's up a bit.

[IamMary]

On the booze.. Does anyone now obsess about 'not drinking'. I thought after a year this might dissipate somewhat, and it has I suppose, but I still spend a lot of time looking at blogs, googling Al, addiction, effects on women in modern times etc etc etc. Then I worry that if I stop, I could take a drink one day. I obsess about that moment, what it would take to make me want to do it.
And then I get distracted by a link to the top 10 things you should never eat or something irrelevant and all is forgotten. It's all head stuff.. I might dip into the 3 ps thread again, always helps.

[JackieClaire]

I'm at the stage where I don't don't care where they go as long as they get on with it and I can wear an outrageous hat.

M&S meal deal again...........must go and get it.

Bacinabit.

Hi Army

Just checking in - another busy day north of the border...

And yes, Mary, we have a restaurant - the pub is coming soon (We agreed to take on the building last year, and the plans are well ahead but just letting red-tape catch up) - oh well, they say Poachers make the best Gamekeepers!!! They also, however, talk of lunatics taking over the asylum - An alkie with his own bar is a bit of a challenge - but hey, why make things easy for myself?

[paulywogg]

Did someone mention food porn? My favorite subject I'm in! Was thinking of Glitzy/Foxy last night wonder where she skedaddled to? Also Starty,Roxanne? Hope everyone is having a nice day, I woke up with anxiety wonder why and Mary I think of not drinking all the time,not missing it so much (well sometimes) just a preoccupation with NOT drinking and also scared of relapse, it's dumb and I want it to go away

Mers - tell me how to roast cauliflower .......... I find it tasteless when just boiled

Early on in my 'JOURNEY' :egad: I was grateful for a narrow escape. I'd see someone drunk & stupid and I feel i've dodged a bullet .... honestly - that hasn't really left me - it's a a brilliant feeling. I honestly do not believe I am missing out - at all.

I obcess now about how BAD alcohol is and blame every ill in society on the demon drink :haha:

Yours faithfully
St. Satz :angel:

Cut into florets. Spray a small bit of oil on them (I put a few spoons into a bag and shake them around, it's more even). Sprinkle with Salt, pepper, garlic/curry powder, what ever you fancy. About 20-30 mins in a hot oven, you'll see them going a bit brown.
You will never boil again.

Glad to hear I'm not the only obsessive one Pauly, Satz..
I am grateful and yes, the more drunks and hungover people crossing my path, the better!
