Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Late check in for me.

Tree down, cards down, decorations down and Mr JC back to work tomorrow :sohappy:


Sick of thinking about what to cook, what to buy, what the fecking sell by date is..............so Mr JC made one of his curries...........including pakoras and bhajis.

Interesting day..........Jenny has left her fiance and is staying with a friend (not a man friend). They had a lot of trouble last year and decided to make a go of it but reckon this is it.......... Finished.There's been no huge row and I'm not sticking me nose in like last year.....I feel quite calm about it now unlike 11am this morning when banging my head of the dining room table seemed a good idea.......I'd rather she did it now and not be an eejit like her mother and wait 6 years in and realise she'd made a mistake.....

My sister-in-law has became a grandma for the first time about three hours ago so that makes my little brother a step-grandpa and me a step great Auntie. ...........little boy and all is well.

Evening folks, just wanted to say thanks for starting a thread Molly & for remembering the walnut & coffee cake JC, it's a wonder you found the time today, 'interesting' indeed! A wise move keeping a step back, however hard you may want to protect your daughter. Congrats on becoming a step great aunt, I already knew you are great though.

Morning folks, thanks Mr G., you are doing great too, there are honestly NO down sides to our new sober lives.
Wet & windy dark January morning here and back to work for moi. Lots of changes there so it kind of feels like a new job, should be interesting, so glad and grateful I aint feeling s**t and hungover.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

oh I do like changes in my job -- a bit -- not dramatic ones - but yeah it refreshes our lives bearing in mind we spend 40 hours a week there - longer than at home almost..
Sorry to hear about Jenny Jacks - but like you say - far better now than wasted years down the line.. will she be back with mammy and daddy??? Or I'll tell you what - the world and it's wife seems to want to live here - tell her to pop over:yay:

only moaning - it's temporary - I know that - and my little retirement pad in Kerry beckons a few years down the road... and now it's another year closer - YAY!!!!

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Good morning all. Meant to be back at work today but took as hols. Carried forward a day and had to take it before end of March so thought it better to take it now. Lots of changes in my job too. Half looking forward to it and half dreading it. Sorry about your daughter JC. Think I’m finding adult kids more of a worry than when they were little. At least then you were in control.

You planning on going to Kerry Molly? Beautiful part of the world. Hubby would like to move West. I’m not sure, like living in the garden of Ireland. Need to fully empty the nest first though!

I'll might just hold you to that.

I swear I will not play he said she said this time.

She's got to stay down there for Uni and teacher training. She says she's coming up end of the week for a couple of days. The weirdest thing she keeps saying is she's safe and that's ringing all sorts of alarm bells...............I will not overthink this .

- I know that - and my little retirement pad in Kerry beckons a few years down the road... and now it's another year closer - YAY!!!!

Will you make sure there's a nice padded cell there for me.

[MENTION=15758]rustop59[/MENTION]...............take me back to potty training and knowing where they were, Thundercats (20 minutes complete silence) and a chocolate biscuit was a treat........... those were magic years.

I have the house to myself for the first time in two weeks............just me and Bess.:love:

Happy New Year--a bit late I know. Celebrated New Years Day with a run and then coffee and cake loved it. Got gale force winds forecast for Merseyside this evening, so sitting in front of the fire with curried parsnip soup. Thinking of Tabbers and Molly"s sober anniversaries around this time.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Hi Whizzy - good to see you and a happy new year

Just popping in to say goodnight really - it's been a pisser of a day - shite at work and Joe now has just been told he has to have another operation on the foot he broke last year - 'sometime in the next 6 months' -- LOVELY -- we've a holiday booked for May and the kids bought us one too... like WTF??? He's dancing (well he would if he could!) with rage so the mood in the house is only mighty --- and it's awful fucking windy.....
that's my moan for the day:happy2:

night night xx

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Sounds like we're starting the new year with a dull thud,Molls, rather than a bang.
Last I heard from Jenny she was on her way back here to the mother ship...........that was about 5 hours. I'd lay bets that she's popped in for a couple of drinks at the bar she used to manage.........I've had her ex if he is her ex yet on the phone and told him as nicely as I can that because of my alcoholism I'm feeling pretty vulnerable and honestly would love to see a happy ending but I just cannot get involved.

Sorry about this but I've just had a message and she's staying in a hotel for some 'head space'. To say I'm worried sick would be an understatement. I know her and although Mr JC is saying to take what she says at face value but I know her..............and I know she's lying if not lying bending the truth mightily.

I've just laid on the bed for hours, awake, near tears and wondering just why........there has to be a reason why. Please tell me there is a reason why.

What do you think is happening darling? What's your fear?

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Talk to us - xx

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

I'm guessing himself is talking you down - I hope so - and I'm sure you'll hear from her in the morning telling you she did need space - thinking of you xx

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

I'm here............i'm on the phone with her and we're fine. not be a minute.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Ahhhhhhhhhh Molls....So sorry but I was feeling dreadful....Haven't over reacted like that for a while. She's definitely in a hotel and coming up here on Thursday. Taking her to work.
