    af day Saturday 29 Sep

    Morning everyone..how is the boozebusting weekend going ? well I hope..the sun is out...and its raining too.Oh well least the rain will be warm!!Tea and coffee on the go just now with toasted wholemeal bread.

    Now then lets start with you Cantoo....how is your weekend? I just watched that you tube video you posted.and quite frankly...as long as my bum points downwards that will not be on my entertainment card!!Jeez I get scared up a ladder!! don't mind any physical activity ..but heights? no thank you ma'am.Still each to their own.You sound really busy and youve got the weather with it.

    Morning Kuya..you ok?....aaah Salford on sea..nope you aint missing much there ..not too far from me...but far enough if you get my drift.Pretty good attestation for this country really isnt it?sausage rolls and pork pies!!oh and the cholestoral lowering tablets!!Got a few friends who packed up and went to NZ..out of about 7 only one came back..couldnt hack it..his words..about 10yrs behind uk.

    Hiya Yah..say it fast sounds like a martial arts utterance!! how are you today? coffee?How is your busy week panning out?ok...get some you time in too.

    Morning Lav..yep we have sent you the rain and fog..we have kept the good stuff and sent the faulty stuff over there..the rain gets you wet and you cant even see in the fog so it isnt fit for purpose Anyway apart from that nonsensical intro how are you?Full house for you at this moment..do all the kids get on together or are you a peacemaker too?Tea and toast for you?

    Kalimera Satz..hope you are enjoying yourself.

    Aha so there you are mollyka..jeez had an image in my head of you on a motorbike...aint too complimentary tho..remember the monty python sketch with the Hells Grannies? :H.
    How are you today??what are you up to then..guess we all used to do that dinner and drink stunt..and then suddenly its .you dont feel hungry, or really tired!!crap really wasnt it? anyway sure we will see more of you now that your mad mate is jaunting around the world eating squid and octopus etc!!

    Hi Shue how are you today good I hope been on the treadmill yet?Yep your remark definitely rings a bell or two..just a prime indicator of the litigious society we are in..whatever happened to a hard days graft for a good days pay instead of..lets see how much I can screw them for?Remember being involved in the sacking of one person..now bearing in mind at the time I was working in a government establishment as the head of security..this person was actually involved in criminality...was unfortunately given the choice of resigning and we will call it a draw..2 years later got a massive claim for constructive dismissal via some loophole!!!!
    Shuesy..its not the thoughts of wine..its how you deal with those thoughts..you seem to be doing good hey tgifs!!

    PPQ..well done see it wasnt that bad..how are you now? any plans for the weekend??enjoy it and chill.

    Det morning how are you today ?any plans for culinary experimentation..or lazy weekend mate?

    Morning Ronnie..you sound really chirpy..long weekend no witches clothes shopping..wow the world is your oyster!!yes I was thinking about lying at the side of our pool too...its the flooded back field!! :H:H

    Hiya sunflower..get that dvd in its great..then you can lock yourself away for ages..the big thing is not to overdo it ..simple to do that!!
    Yep I used to deal with people that worked with those amounts of money too..they were called bank robbers! No seriously..glad its all worked out for you..sounds like they are being pretty good to you jobwise. but I am sure you put the work in so good for you

    well its that time again...early start for me tomorrow..so may not be able to start the post, but Iam sure someone will pick up that mantle..Meanwhile have a nice day be happy..if you cant be happy at least grin ..It will amuse someone else

    af day Saturday 29 Sep

    top of the mornin' to ya', Mick ... I am halfway through my report and a huge pot of Turkish apple tea. No coffee in sight. Can you believe it? I was on the treadmill and checking the MWO posts at 6:22 AM.

    I am taking this moment just to post and make sure I stay close to you, peeps. I am hosting a massive Ryder Cup party tonight - I did most of the work and cooking late last night. I also bought myself 1 bottle of VinoZero (German non alcoholic crappy wine that tastes atrocious on its own but it gives soda a nice flavor). I will have loads of drinkers and not my ususal safe crowd of friends.

    I know a lot of you do not support "pretend" drinks, but I am tired, a bit stressed and anxious and I don't want to take any chances.

    Cantoo - that looks like a hoot !!! I LOOOOOVE heights. Nothing fills me with more joy than being on top a great big mountain.

    Kuya
    - me ? speech impaired ? hubby can only wish for !!!! The only thing that messed up my speech was the wine, and loads of it ... Now say it with me, you too, Mick:

    Precariously perched over the precipice


    have a fab day, fabbies!!!!

      Morning all, how's it hanging?

      Summer has truly arrived, my daughter and I had our first paddle in the sea today! Yay

      Hey Mick ....... Your mate was right NZ is actually about 30 years behind the UK. In crime, in social unrest, in homelessness, in overcrowding. Can see why he came back. NZ has its faults but for me it is beeeeaaaauuuuutiful.
      You are right about scottish homesickness tho, my DILs parents are always talking about going back at some point, but they haven't settled that well.

      Shue .... Would still value your longer term feedback on GABA. I have taken it and Glutamine for ages but found the GABA made so much more improvements re anxiety.

      Satz ...... Sorry wrong country..... How is the trip going ? How long you away?

      Molly .... My daughter started piano a year ago and skipped grade one and has honours in grade two. Her teacher has high hopes for her, I will encourage her to do her best as long as she enjoys it. But she is a natural, composes her own stuff and just seems to GET IT. I could never get to grips with reading music but she reads it like I would read a book.

      Det. Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

      Anyhoos good day please be had by all and a fun sober weekend

        So I went to lunch to take a break from numbers ... What a fab day!!!! It feels positively criminal to be working on a Saturday like this. Look at that mountain !!! It is calling me !



        I'll enjoy a quick lunch for now ... And the sun !!!!

          Morning Shue, KY and Mick thanks for the coffee and the read....

          Yup just chilling this weekend. Visit with my Dad today and business/home group meeting tomorrow. Feeling much better all around and proud of myself for not turning to AL to get through it.

          Shue whatever works. To me it's a plan and any plan is better than no plan.

          KY don't you love the change of seasons. It's like starting "a new" 4 times a year.

          Mick
          haven't seen anything about the treadmill lately. Has it already become a hanger for the housecoat?

          Well, I'm going to sift through some posts this morning. Looking for what supplement to take to help with my low energy. I know lack of sleep doesn't help and I've heard people reference something and couldn't believe how much energy they have.

          Have a fabulous AF Saturday everyone..........PPQ

            Good morning Abbers,

            Thnaks Mick, coffee it is for me this morning!
            I am in a huge battle right now with these buggars - invading our homes around here by the hundreds
            Brown Marmorated Stink Bug — Entomology — Penn State University

            This has been the worst invasion yet since they arrived in this part of the country a few years ago, yuck!

            Beautiful pic shue!
            I hope your gathering goes well & the drinkers aren't too annoying.

            Greeting kuya, PQ & everyone!
            Wishing everyone a wonderful AF Saturday.
            I'll be busy with my stinky visitors

              Morning LAV , PPQ.

              Quick post. As of half hour ago I am officially 30 days sober. Feeling fine, still get a bit fatigued ....... But gotta thank the GABA for making it pretty chilled.

              Mick ..... You asked me weeks ago to post my feelings about, as you wrote "giving up drinking". I couldn't do it then cos I felt like what I had to say wasn't worth hearing.

              All I can say is that last year I gave up drinking for 9 weeks.

              This year I QUIT.

              No doubts, no cravings, no chance of ever 'wanting' to drink alcohol again. I know I face two years or so of damage repair ...... But that ain't too bad a price to pay for 23 years of abuse, about a 10% tithe that I have to pay back to my body! Seems fair to me.

              Looking forward to ......living again

                          Thanks Kas and LAV, and I will be mindful this time and all the experiences and sharing on MWO makes me aware NEVER to be complacent.

                          Staying sober matters so much to me now that I can put away the mental fear, it is only the PAWS problem that concerns me as I have yet to experience this.

                            :yay: KY CONGRATULATIONS! What a great way to start your summer. :happy: You are one strong woman and I'm glad you choose to quit drinking here.

                            Hey, did you say paddling? What were you and your daughter paddling?

                            Today I had Bootcamp followed by lunch with a friend who let me ramble and then a pedicure (where I had a little nap). And then I signed up with a hiking group - hoping to make some new AF friends.

                            Tomorrow is the Breast Cancer run and perhaps lunch again.

                            Now the second kid has confirmed the mountains for next week. Silly me. I forgot they'd follow me anywhere as long as I'm paying.

                            WOW Shue how DO you work with that view?

                            Mick, what have you been up to these days? What is it that you do at the bird rehab place? At least I think it's rehab.....

                            Lav, those things are heading this way. :yukko: What is going on with this world.

                            We're also having a listeria outbreak in a meat processing plant. I think we have another US ban on our Alberta beef.

                            Have a good night/day everyone.

                            Liking this supportive thread! Think I'll just hang out here for a while. :l

                              I see Mick's light on....so he is now posting Sunday's thread as I finish up Saturday.

                              Porq....I am so glad that things worked out....I knew they would.

                              Shue....its a crime to work on such nice days. I am putting into my dream job...no working if its 80 and sunny

                              Mick....I don't work at a bank or the financial industry. I work with businesses to develop marketing strategies that will give them a huge return on investment....if done correctly. In this ecomomy...it has been very rewarding to help businesses grow. I see them adding locations or more employees....which means what I am doing on my end has a direct effect on a family out there.

                              I went to a party tonight. I was a bit nervous. However, once there and with my tea in had I was fine. Again, most don't drink. Although I did end up talking to a couple where the husband had a beer.....do you know he held that same dang beer for over 45 minutes! And it was still half full when I walked away!

                              The host knew I had stopped drinking....and most don't even drink there. I had a great time.....and walked out feeling awesome.
