[mario]

Well ladies what's the plans for today ?

[mario]

Ok folks, its a nice sunny day here so I of out on me bike, a nice long cycle along the seafront on very good cycle paths is in order, laters.

Bit of footie listening on the radio (I've become a real fan of radio sport everything except tennis) ..........getting the paw print off my sewing, that Bess kindly left........then sewing. Eating nice stuff and must watch last weeks Taboo (gruesome and dark....just like me )

Good morning all. Getting through the withdrawal headaches - it's not been so bad really. The last time was awful, with bad night sweats for days. This time three days and nights. I'm thinking - maybe I wasn't that bad. With all the discussion here I forced myself to think about how bad I really was recently. Like some of you I normally started after 5. Except on the weekend when I started around 1-3ish depending. So I always justified being "not that bad". But I counted how many times just this year that I was a comatose drink. It was about four times a week. There was the time son came home late from a night out and I had locked the fron door and blacked out. Took him two hours to wake me. And the time hubby couldn't sleep because of my snoring coma. The myriad times I woke up in the morning and couldn't remember how I showered and got into bed. Just couldn't remember, anything.
Just so I remember its I who needs to be here. I want to change. Thanks for making me face up to myself. No negotiation with A. Blessed Saturday. :thanks:

Morning Martha,
Few things there rang a bell with me. I used to tell the kids I was having a nap ..........I'm sure they didn't believe me they were just keeping me happy.

Weekends just got earlier, and earlier and sneakier.

Afternoon AAAers.
Great post Martha.. you sound determined to take on the beast.. how are your feeling? Gorgeous day out there, it would put anyone in a good mood.
Mr M skipped down this morning saying how wonderful it was not to be hungover (he does drink but not to anything near the same level when we were both at it).

Love the background mutter of the radio too JC - not sports tho :eek-new:! Except horse racing or GAA commentry, haven't a clue whats actually going on but they're fast talk is amazing!

[JackieClaire]

Night love.

Edit: Give us a wave Starty and Tabbers.

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Morning folks, waving at ya JC. Everything's fine here, just a keeping very busy so I am.

[starty]

Morning all. Big waves here too
Been a little low with one thing and another. Had MRI results which were not good so that upset me when I wasn't feeling great
Just about to go for a walk with the doggers so hope that helps a bit

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Sorry to hear that Starty, have several doggy hugs, I know for a fact they work wonders.

[JackieClaire]

Morning,

There yous are, you know I fret. Starty, they can now start a plan of treatment. It was one of the happiest days of my life when Mr JC went and got help for his hip. Might sound odd but I couln't force him and man pride stopped him.

Meet my two new canine nephews, Scot and Seth..............my brother & his wife have retired to Scotland (at 55) they're going to start some kind of craft business and look who's joining them.

Morning all.
