Sober NOvember Challenge

I have to say tho, Im really beginning the appreciate the satisfaction of going to bed sober, theres nothing quite as 'warm and fuzzy' as that, knowing the kids are safe in bed, having a lovely peace and quiet read and knowing I will get up hangover free for them the next day and everythings (im) in control...

Hi guys! I'm just back home Straight into bed with a cup of tea and a hot water bottle - it's freezing here! I've read back over the thread for the past few days - I'm afraid to start commenting cause I know I'll leave stuff out. But just to say Oney, I'm so sorry about your Uncle. And Molly - way to go on a sober, happy Christmas and the nose piercing! I got my belly button redone a few months ago and I love it There are loads of other things I was going to say to people, but I just can't remember...sorry!

I had a great weekend. Dinner went well on Thursday, my Mam and Dad had met boyf years ago when we weren't going out, and they liked him then. And to be honest, I feel now that they can think whatever they like, cause I know he's right for me. I don't mean that to sound mean, just that they are very black and white - they love someone or they hate them, so I have to make my own decisions.

Went for dinner and to a comedy gig in Dublin on Friday night, and had a great time. there were loads of messy drunks at the comedy, and it was wonderful sipping on my one ginger ale for the evening - makes me a cheap date too Saturday we walked up Killiney Hill in Dublin and visited a friend of mine. Ah, he's just great. I find now that I'm getting very restless about not having work and being stuck at home with my folks all the time - I feel very aimless and I don't know what to do about it. I'm applying for jobs, and I'd really love to move out, but I think the whole world knows what the Irish economy is like these days! So I dunno how to deal with this. I'm not tempted to drink, but I don't want to spend my days wishing I was somewhere else, and just sitting around.

I hope it's a good day for everyone :l

Did ya take a photo Oney??:H Is this really the new you or will you get over it?
Neart girl, you sound great but frustrated? Course the job thing is the nub of it - and like Oney says - it will come. You're lucky in a way that your career isn't madly recession linked - teachers will always be needed - it's always been hard to get established tho. Would you think of giving grinds or doing a TEFL course or something to keep you going till the 'real deal' comes along? I think maybe you should take a 'leap of faith' and move in with Mr Wonderful? Life is short and shit you sound so happy?! (I'll be kill't for sayin that)

Gettinghappy - yeah, fraid our household were a bit out of kilter with Christmas this year - no wonder you were confused:H:H - how you gettin along anyhows?
Limers, it does feel great doesn't it, no guilt or shame and if things go pearshaped, it can't all be blamed on us - I LOVE THAT. Any word about the job for your young lad?
Am back to work today - don't mind, reckon I'm getting a fat arse (like Oney's) from sitting on it. Daughter is down in Wexford for a couple of days with her friend so I can clean up the house!
Morn. Anon - how you feeling today? still a bit blah? Hi SJ, Choice, Wagon, Dewdrop, Peace (I know you're not here but you sort of are) and all the other missing suspects - check in!!

I SO won't believe that till I see it.....


And thanks for the encouragement, I guess I'm feeling a little sorry for myself! I got clamped in bloody Booterstown yesterday - NEVER going there again, had such a boring walk and it ended up costing me E125 and I had a mild panic about how much money it cost and how little money I had. But then I ate some chocolate and felt a little better

Re moving in - I think we will see what the New Year brings. I spent 5 years living with the wrong guy before, and I'm nervous now about the idea of living together as a form of commitment - I don't think it is. But then, they are two completely different guys, there's no comparison between them. I have a feeling things'll come together in the New Year, I just have to have a little faith Am currently scouring the job ads for Dublin/The Pale!

Hi all!! Back pain increased big style yesterday and had to take loads of Codeine and Diclofenic but---- pain nearly gone and my mood improved but still feel a bit sad.

Neart how lovely about boyfriend. My oldest daughter is a teacher and has had a terrible time getting jobs but managed to get long term supply posts. Good thing is that despite recession Teachers always seem to be needed and with your fab degree you will find something!I hope you are very proud to be sober.

Sunny day here butI am not fit enough for a run boo hoo. However,looking after beautiful grandson who makes me smile.

Oney I was so sorry to hear about your loss.

Love to all of us November crew.

Crossed post Neart BLOODY WHEEL CLAMPERS

My 2nd son got clamped in Blanchardstown and lost the plot - broke the clamp off his wheel and now can't understand why the clamping co. are getting thick with him!
Yeah you're right - think it through very carefully bout the moving in. Prob. best get the job first and then make a 'non-pressure' decision - now I've been all grown up and sensible

Thanks Anon x You poor thing - back pain is so debilitating... Is it that that is making you feel a bit blue or is it November or just generally feeling blah? Yeah, as long as people keep getting pregnant I should get a job eventually

Molly - I was tempted to try something like that, but my poor little car is a bit knackered as it is, so I didn't want to chance anything. Wouldn't mind but it was a nearly empty car park early on a Sunday morning - think it was bad karma for hopping on the Luas without a ticket on Friday :H
