:stompy2:.......I wanna go on the Circle Tour .....looks incredible.....especially if its a work jolly. Starty, love, concentrate on things you can do and not what you think you're missing.

Jenny's new BF is very Icelandic looking about 6'4" and a sort of ginger/blond and very fair skinned. Mind you , he could be a left over Viking from when they ruled the North.

[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION].......let's know how you Ma got settled in.

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

So the 'drama' is finally over & she's safe & sound at home.
How long that'll be for we'll see .........

That's some trip Starty! Are you looking forward to it? Are they a boozy crowd?

Good news there Satz, your mam will be well into a routine by your holliers, well done on getting it sorted.
Unfortunately you have no control over your son's choices now, he is a grown man. Go and enjoy your holiday..que sera, sera. where are you off to?

Morning,

Brilliant!! I try to avoid this conversation for that very reason! and knowing that judgements are being made.. dry arse, square, boring, no craic, goodie goodie..
Well, that's what would run through my head, back in the day!

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

We are off west this weekend as it’s our bank holiday. Hoping to get a hike in on Saturday morning. Lots to do before then so I had better get up and at it.

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

Morning all!

Ha yes, I can see them doing that thunder clap on the coach or the plane !! The Golden Circle does look impressive I must say.

Yep Statz work jolly, team building, health motivator thingy. We do a big trip every two years, this one is special as it is the co's 35th anniversary. We also raise a lot of money for local charity.

Mary, yes they are pretty boozy. Majority very young in their 20s so like to go out clubbing (dear lord :haha the boss then sits at breakfast with his head in his hands watching folk come in from the night before

This is one of the reasons I get so torn about the co. They do treat us very well.

Satzy what a relief about your mum. I do hope it all goes well.

Last day today before along weekend off. I want to get my stuff together for the trip and have clothes and stuff to buy. The temps in Iceland are much lower than here and I do not want to be wandering round in me workout kit freezing me arse off

Mary I would rather be a dry arse than a wet arse :egad:

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

Morning,
I broke the toilet......it was only a matter of time. Luckily we can still flush it after a fashion and even more luckily the plumber's coming at 12:30pm.
Mr JC is as excited as a toddler on his first visit to Lego land about this trip to Ireland. He's now deciding where to get his Euros from.........the rate's crap everywhere but these things need exploring.
I've got a wee trip to the doctors for a review on my first month the anti-depressants. Seem to be doing their job pretty well but still getting some high anxiety. Going to ask him WTF this grumbly tummy is.....its been seven days now.

[MENTION=22456]starty[/MENTION]...........it'll be light more or less 24 hours when you're in Iceland. Mebbees one of the cabin crew will start the cheer.

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

Afternoon all. Hope you got bog sorted JC also dickey tummy. Looks like your hubby could be having lovely weather, another beautiful day here and promised to continue. Doing the central Maamturks in Connemara Mary, guided but have never been before so will be an adventure. Plan on finishing painting outside today and that’s it for summer, sick of it

Here ! Here ! :
Wouldn't they love to say "did you see Miss Starty last night" "the STATE of her dancing with Jonny " :haha:
No .... stay classy Starts !:makeup:

Unfortunately you have no control over your son's choices now, he is a grown man. Go and enjoy your holiday..que sera, sera. where are you off to?

Keffalonia in Greece Mers. It's not HIM I'm worried about it's me feckin' house. HE can do what he likes to himself. He's getting the vibes of that and has settled a bit & is now working free-lance 3 days a week for Pharma company. New laptop and camera - so they must trust him. I hope he earns that trust.......

I try to avoid this conversation for that very reason! and knowing that judgements are being made.. dry arse, square, boring, no craic, goodie goodie..
Well, that's what would run through my head, back in the day!

I agree Mers. If we have to socialise - you will get those reactions. In the beginning I had to 'fake it to make it' . I had to pretend to be having a ball - so that they'd not think I needed a drink to be the life & soul. Now I don't care and usually enjoy it up to a point. At that point I'll head home.
On holiday that's what I do - have the craic at the meal & after for a while - but then the stupidity starts and I casually say "I'm off" - they've become used to it. Even envious to some degree. I see the pride in MrS's face when I'm up & at 'em at 8 next morning & dragging him for a walk. It's SOOO worth it.

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

[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]...........you are sounding good, missus. There's a confidence about you more than likely because you know you're doing the right thing. I loved what you said about Mr S being proud.......worth more than a bottle of voddy any day.

Bog mended, my pills & potions sorted, custard doughnuts bought and himself just about to go outta the door. Let the party begin..........:sohappy:

Hope it went well at the docs JC? Hope it doesn't affect yer trip to Ireland. Anxiety can be crippling so hope the AD's do their trick :hug: Would the AD's affect the tummy? Delayed reaction? I dunno about their side-effects, so speaking out me arse, perhaps (not unknown...)

As for breaking the toilet - reminds me of when I was 13 and was on a church trip to Brazil (yes! Brazil!) and we stayed at wee convent and on the last day I sat, not one the toilet, but the wash-hand basin and the whole thing tore off the wall! Condemned to hell i was...

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

[MENTION=18049]RunningCourage[/MENTION].....its all good, seeing the end of this stomach bug at last. The GP had a poke of my tummy and didn't find anything sinister (I hate it when they use words like that). He's one of these GPs who always runs late as he never sticks to the 10 minute per patient rule. He's lovely. Back again in a month. AD's won't affect my tummy area.....he said so......although its in the list of side effects which is about a mile long. Does anyone read them all?

Only Mr. JC this time in Ireland with his mate next door. I'm dossing at home with Bess.....we've just had a lovely walk on the big field. Forgot how dog walkers just naturally talk to each other ...........I now know where to get free rhubarb. Perhaps tomorrow we'll meet someone who knows where the free custard is.
