Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Early morning troops!

Didn;t sleep well - woke up at 1.30, checked my phone only to see a message saying that my flat in Aberdeen (I let it out) has a leak coming through to the flat below. Cue wide-awake club and money thoughts and troubles... not nice.

But gonna breath deep, tackle it as best I can. Here's to a fun friday folks

I LIKE WAKING UP IN THE MORNINGS LOOKING FORWARD TO BREAKFAST IN BED,
NOT LOOKING FOR PARACETAMOL TO CURE A SORE HEAD.
I like not pretending that everything is fine,
but mostly I love that I dont need that wine..
I can now snub that tempting red
With the knowledge I'll wake with no dread..........

Or decline the beer with out any fear

Good morning Army still in sick bay feeling dreadful but getting a bit better! Loved the poem JC and RC and hope your Aberdeen flat does not cause too much trouble.
Great venture Stirly and son sure it will be a success
Well done Tony enjoy your day.
Back to sleep here--not been out of bed for 6 days now. I believe it is called Aussie Flu--

Morning.
Mrs A, sorry you're still poorly. Hope you're being well cared for.

I'm away to my first crochet class............wee bit of shopping to do first. Wonder if I'll get to make something other than a long string of knots.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Good morning Army!!

Mrs. A - hope you're feeling much better really soon. 6 days is a long time to be ill with the flu.

Jackie - hope you enjoy your class. Crocheting is easy IMO. Knot a doubt in my mind that you'll catch on quickly and be making bed covers in no time!!!

RC - hope you get that straightened out soon. No need for stress now.

Tony - I love morning shifts - you're off early enough to enjoy the rest of the day.

Molly - hope things quiet down a bit at your place. Is the bike still in the kit hen?

Mary - milk and bread are essentials. A body shop isn't. :smile:

Big Hi! to all I've not mentioned - hope you all have a smashing day!!!!

My step is steady, my eyes are brighter,
I'm back in the ring, cause I'm a fighter.
AL won't get me down, I'm so much stronger,
With a clear head and hangovers no longer.

Haha, that made me laugh, Molls. Have only done it a couple of times myself. Proper pain in the butt trying to remember EXACTLY how the user names are written.

You could add to the poem tho'!!

"We're sorry, but all of our executives are busy. Please continue to hold and we will answer your call as soon as possible."

How long do you give insurance companies before hanging up? I think I might be on a hiding to nothing as it's Friday and have a sneaky feeling their customer services are all shut up shop.

So a rusty sink was the cause of the leak. Damage done to property below will be paid by my insurers - as long as they'll cover it (can't see why not on the schedule... but then i'm always wary of insurers...). Fingers crossed I won't end up living off boiled rice and watery porridge.

On the upside, it's Friday.

Gonna read -

Come here, who said it was crocheting was easy..........after half an hour of the essential .............where the fire exits are, my name is something or other, rules and regulations of the building, the no discrimination blurb, could you fill in the wee 300 document (okay 4 page) of what your hopes are for this course, confidentialty rules...........it started........... lots of pretty pictures of blankets, christening gowns, dog coats, hats............many, many lovely things.

Well of course me being me, thought I'd be able to knock off a fairly decent blanket in the hour and a half left.........................I did 3 rows on 21 stitches...........that was after she gave me a gigantic needle or (is it hook) and a ball of ribbon to practice on.

Our homework for next week is to do a square measuring 20cm x 20cm. If I have to practice 24 hours a day she'll be getting a square come Hell or high water............good laugh though and the lass opposite and the one just behind me also seemed to grow extra fingers and were as crap as me.

I enjoyed it.
