That must be so hard, Satz. I just want you to know I'm thinking of you and care. xx

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Oh Satz so sorry about your son. Remember how many times we failed trying to quit? Hoping this is just another bump on his long road to freedom from this disease.

[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]...........trying to reply without using the F word but FFS.......

[MENTION=5052]anon[/MENTION]...........I remember that, bless you. Jenny's down your way on Saturday at a conference.

[MENTION=18725]NoSugar[/MENTION].........always lovely to see you Sugarbabe.

Jenny sounds good. She's got all her teaching notes and files from the house and sorted out accomodation for the next couple of weeks. Her ex seems to have accepted the situation and it must be official as they've changed their status on FB to single............believe me I'm sitting here shaking my head as it all seems so impersonable.

Evening,
Much bigger problems going on there, so I'll not moan about my lot, but thanks for the words from the wise though.. my mother told me that years ago Molls, never try to be their friend. Roll on Monday and school, or it might be the Zoo!!
Took a trip into the Irish emigration museum today. excellent so it was- very interactive so the kids stayed engaged. I was impressed.

[MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION] - Your Jenny is really changing her life around, new career, new path now.. She sounds like a strong woman, does she get that from her mammy??!!

So sorry to hear about young Satz.. hoping its only a blip. The ground work from the center wont be wasted. Is he still meeting with them?

[anon]

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Good morning Army, hope everyone is OK.
Jackie is Jenny coming to Liverpool or Chester ?
Rusty-My daughter is also in Oslo.
Lazy day planned here after a big breakfast!

Morning all. Sorry to hear that Satz, hopefully only a blip and he will get back on track immediately. Difficult time of year. Was very impressed with Epic Ireland Mary and it’s not advertised that much. Got a lot of the decorations put away yesterday and have to finish off today. Going on walk in a while so things are getting back to normal, thank God.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Morning,
[MENTION=5052]anon[/MENTION]..............Liverpool. Don't think she's ever been there.

[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION]...... Now listen if you need to get something off your chest.............let rip and don't let it fester. Not sure if Jenny gets it from me......can you imagine if I was still drinking.......there's a bunch of strong women in our family and Mr JC is being the voice of calm in all this.

I'm going to slap some make-up on and get my nails done this morning.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Morning Army.
Housebound with flu .....
Didn't bother going to doc 'cos I read antibiotics will not cure the virus.
So Mrs Google saved me 60e.
Refuse to allow any of life's little problems bring me down - so I bought a coat in the sale online inkele:
[MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION] sounds like Jenny is making the best decision.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

ARSEY!!!! Great to see you man!! Joe is in great form today tbh - he just got his new bike - so it's like a new member of the family! It is now firmly ensconced in our kit hen as our garage has been de-commissioned.... sore piggies but he'll be grand -- life good with you lovely fella??

[JackieClaire]

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Shame you didn't get the bike before Christmas, Molls. Could have covered it with baubles and tinsel and let Joe sit at the table on it.

Just heard a bloke I used to work with was found dead in his flat on Monday. He'd been sober donkey's years. Very involved in charities for substance abuse and training the likes of me. One of those big bear type of a man who gave the best hugs. All very sad..........just the 5th day of 2018 and tbh I've had enough of it already.

Jenny's moving in with a girlfriend until she can find a wee place of her own. She's got her eye on a couple of places so shouldn't be long before she's moved.

[MENTION=18049]RunningCourage[/MENTION]...........lovely, lovely to see you.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Hi Army--Just watching BBC 4 Beatles and spotted me twice, used to go to all their stuff-- Only saying this now-- as alcohol never passed my lips! What a great time I had then.
Hi RC Fancy Snowdon Marathon in October?

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018
