Evening,
Bringing with me a bit of sad news..........the aged Aunt (92) I told you about a couple of weeks ago who broke her leg while painting the garden fence despite the fact she was making an excellent recovery and ready to move onto a general hospital ward is now in a coma and near the end.
Poor Mr JC has had to go up to Ma and Pa in law's to tell them. Pa in law is the youngest brother at 88.

Very sorry to hear that Jacks. :hug:

Donno Tabbers, Im afraid I'll think Im cured if I forget the bad bits!

Mers - the bad bits never REALLY leave us. Always something to remind us ........... clink of bottles at the bottlebank: the alcohol aisle in the supermarket :
a 4am waking : even opening the alcohol cabinet at home .....
4 years on ...... it amazes me that I am a non-drinker and makes me soooooooo happy.
However I now hide the chocolate in there (mainly from myself) :haha:

Am going to see Darren Brown tomorrow looking forward & can't wait.
Enjoy your weekend everyone x

Morning,



Got a letter today dated the 4th of October telling us we are in arrears of £25 on our ground rent................and if its not paid by 18th September 2017 ( I've looked half a dozen times and it does say 2017)or we'll be charged £70..........apart from the fact I'm sure I've paid it..........I'm wondering if they're expecting us to use a time machine to go back and pay it.

Bess is at the vets getting her 3 monthly check.........we'll be in the poor house for the rest of the month.

I was a 3am waker............promising myself all kinds of things.

Derren Brown, my SIL's seen one of his shows be ready to be totally amazed.

Good Morning, Army!

Jackie-so glad your elderly aunt is still hanging in there.:yay:

I was a 3am waker............promising myself all kinds of things.

Ugh, that was me, too! :-( Then dreading the hangover as it was Monday morning and I had to go to work.

[MENTION=9531]catch22[/MENTION]...I have never heard of Derren Brown but I will google him. So glad you'll be able to see him perform. Does the shooting in Vegas make you a wee nervous, or no?

Satz-you made me laugh...replacing the liquor cabinet with chocolate. Good idea. Oooohhhh...I'd weigh 500 lbs. if I did that.

Leaba=bed. Ok, got it. Thank Dog for Wiki. LOL

Hello Hello to everyone else.:happy2:

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol - October 2017

Evening.........where would we be without google or wiki.

Aunt's son has arrived and she recognised him although most of the time she dreadfully confused. She's managing a cup of tea and fluids but not eating.

@ Rusy, the shooting in Vegas does it makes me nervous? Yes it would if I was living in American. The law on guns are different to the UK. I don't agree that they should be legal. If the law was the same here I would be very nervous.
Darren Brown was a amazing [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION],

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol - October 2017

Good morning folks. Another Sunday morning awake just before sunrise, heading into a new a day without the chains of a hangover, without the sure knowledge that today yet again I will poison myself, a slow long suicide. Every day that passes I feel further away from that place and that my friends is priceless. I have a busy day planned, DW is away so I am meeting a friend for brunch in Dublin then off to see some family this afternoon, have a good Sunday whatever you have planned. Once AL is out of the picture we truly have found the freedom to be ourselves

Oh I haven't forgotten, I just don't focus on it now constantly, every waking moment as I used to. There is no cure only abstinence. I suppose I am learning to forgive myself and leave the past where it belongs, in the past. I am no longer the man that lived that horrible way. But forget? Never.

Morning Molly and Tabbers and all to come. These sober Sunday mornings are precious. Been awake since 7 but read and watched an episode of Victoria on the player. Getting a bit peckish now so think I'll go get breakfast. Nothing major planned . Have a lovely day everyone.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol - October 2017

Morning..........dya think this enough? Should I do some more..........more is always better isn't it

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol - October 2017

Good morning Army!!

The coffee looks great, Jackie. I've been up for 4 hours and got a load of housework done, so I think it's time to have a cuppa. Usually start my day with a flavoured tea.

KTAB - it's always so good to read your posts and hear how positive you are. Hope you have a great visit with your friend and with your family later on.

Jackie - I know it's hard to lose a loved one but hopefully either you aunt will improve greatly, or she will go peacefully. My Dad hung on for 18 days in intensive care. He was awake maybe 4 hours out of 24 and drugged the rest of the time for pain. It was difficult for everyone, him included.

Molly, did I read somewhere there's a new wee one expected? Hope all goes well. You must be over the moon. I don't have a daughter but I'm sure it's different when expecting a grandchild from your daughter rather than your daughter-in-law.

Hiya to Rusty!! And to all who drop by later.

Wishing you all a very enjoyable Sunday!!!!

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol - October 2017

Morning again Rusty Tabs Jacks and Stirly -- yes Stirls Jilly is expecting in December -- it's different alright cos you are there for the pregnancy and all - with the boys it was more sort of getting involved after the baby was born.... and you have first dibs on her time etc haha!!! She'll be living here for a few months with the little one as well (and her partner of course -- he's lovely) - so we'll get to know this one better I s'pose... but sure in the end it's all the same - I love the other 3 dearly - as much as I loved my own tbh and I didn't expect that...
lovely lazy day forecast here - the expectant parents have gone off visiting some of his relations - think Adam may be up this afternoon that's all today.. so quiet.... mmmm
