Re: Join up!! Army against the grog !!! April 2018

Morning folks from Tabbers-land. Lovely sunny day here which will be spent battling the garden. New job is a bit of a mixed bag, lots of new procedures need to be implemented, which is what I was tasked with doing, but it is so busy precisely because of the disorganisation that I can't get around to sorting much. Decided I am putting my foot down first thing Monday morning and calling a meeting of all staff, should be fun. Just a thought, how would that have been possible when I was daily drinking? Answer, it wouldn't.
Have a good day, however you choose to spend it, for today won't come around again.

Afternoon all. Great to see you Tabs, am sure you will get it sorted. You have a clear head and thatÂ’s half the battle. Welcome back JC, can you employ me if you get a shop like that, bliss. Bon voyage Starty.

The name of the book is Menopause normally and naturally by Zoltan Rona, MD. Have a feeling I picked it up in Canada years and years ago. Very anti hrt and sheÂ’s saying that once the ovaries stop producing the female hormones, the adrenal grands eventually produce enough hormones to maintain balance. These can be sluggish because of lifestyle, diet, smoking etc and thatÂ’s the reason you have all the symptoms. Starty, she suggested hempseed oil capsules or a combination of flaxseed, evening primrose and fish oils to provide high amounts of omega 3,6 and 9. I just talk a holland and Barrett omega one.

Absolutely fab day here. Did cliff walk this morning with the doggies and really enjoyed. Off out into the garden now.

[MENTION=22456]starty[/MENTION]........thanks for asking about the anxiety. There has been moments but better by half. In fact still got half of them left so I'm thinking it must be situational.........if so got to find out what the blessed situation is. At the doctor's this Friday coming.

Himself has just gone to get some fish and chips so while I remember.............good luck to Mrs A and Arsey for the London marathon.........I'll be watching to see if I spot the pair of yous.

I have to say Jacks - for you & Mr JC to go to a remote place alone and have such a wonderful holiday. It says a lot for what a strong couple you are.
Maybe you just miss the company when he's at work day to day - thus the anxiety ?
Delighted you had a good break ...:hug:

Evening,
Thanks for the name of the book [MENTION=15758]rustop59[/MENTION]. Don't know i'm quite in the zone yet, but it cant be far off, so ill 'bi ullamh'!
Glad the anxiety is more manageable [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION]. Could that be the holiday, new pills or both? Do you take the pills every day or just when you need them?
[MENTION=22456]starty[/MENTION], have a fabulous time! Nothing nicer than waking up on holidays without the usual banging headache..
Shopping down your way today [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION].. kildare village. Mostly for MrM, hes sorted now for about a decade, I will slowly sneak out the thread bear items from the 90s.

Good for you Tabbers. If you have confidence and a plan, they will listen. Go forth and procedurise!

Re: Join up!! Army against the grog !!! April 2018

[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]........what a lovely thing to say. Yep we do tick along nicely these days....and much of it......no nearly all of it is due to me not drinking ....although on Friday I could have quite happily have beaten his brains out in the supermarket with a French stick because he said I was squashing the bread buns in the basket.

[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION] I just take them as needed.....they're only 2mg. Diazapam is highly addictive and with my medical history they are definitely not on a repeat prescription. With it being my birthday this week I tend to think of it as my own personal new yearand take stock of what I've done over the last 12 months and what I hope and want to do before my next birthday. Nothing written in stone but just little changes.

[MENTION=21798]Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)[/MENTION].......I'll put a nice slice of coffee and walnut cake in you're packed lunch on Monday.

And Molls, me gorgeous girl, come back before I @ you many times a day.

Re: Join up!! Army against the grog !!! April 2018

Yes Molls, where are you???? I don't post a lot here but I do read everyday. Miss your sarcasm and sense of humor!

Re: Join up!! Army against the grog !!! April 2018

Mary Mr S wardrobe is similar to mr M,s it seems . Shameful:haha:

Yes it is lovely to wake with no regrets and being always first up i would help myself to a glass of wine with my morning coffee and a handful of pills. Jayzus writing that and reading back is very hard

Jax last year my doc gave me 7 diazapam tablets to help me over a hump. I am glad that he is sensible and didnt put them on repeat as they are even worse than opiates to come off i have read. Anyways this is the woman who took the Valium that the vet prescribed for the dog so really cannot be trusted : haha:

The house is gorgeous and full of character and the dogs seem quite settled so it should be a fab week

Howdy yourself, good to see you back, hope all well. Yes good luck you two, what an achievement for you both. Sun seems to have gone awol again. Yesterday was massive, overdid it outside a bit in the garden though so probably better I stay in. Off now for nice walk with the doggies.

Re: Join up!! Army against the grog !!! April 2018

Morning and there you are, Molls
Did anyone get thunder and lightning last night? Made our windows rattle and Bess jump higher than I've seen her do for donkey's years.

Looks like the sun is going to be brutal down at the London marathon...........big hugs, smooth run and enjoy.

Bess gets Xanax......tbh I had a one when she first got them, you know just to make sure they were okay. Didn't make a lot of difference but not going to try it again. Hell of a lot of street valium up here in the north. God knows what its made of.

Got an M&S voucher for my birthday so going to be at their door when they open at 10am.
