    Ladies on a Mission: The Official Site

    hey loamers

    Nar i cant believe i said that! Damn al brain and i didnt even realise i had typed it. Mind you i used to check everything i typed on here but when the posts are so short there is really no need. As long as you are happy Nar that is all that matters really in the long run and glad you guys are going strong. I wonder on here who does not want to kill their dh's sometimes. Its natural to feel like that when they are the inferior species! (glad this is women only on here haha). When i walk in the door of my local supermarket i walk straight past the al section, that was hard in the early days but the al section does not open till 10 and closes at 9pm though the bottlo across the road closes at 11.30pm. I shudder to think how many times i have driven down there after a couple of bottles of wine as of course i wanted more. Who does that? Oh we did, thats right!

    Daisy good on you girl for 4 days, keep going. Are you doing anything special for her birthday? I am so not artistic so good on you. God before i finished my drinking days i could hardly write on a card let alone make one. You have a couple of months to make Nar and mine and i like purple and yellow flowers and bambi.

    NS all i have to say is i ate brussel sprouts, i love fried cabbage but brussel sprouts no way unless mashed in potatoes and only a little bit.

    Dot how are you, hope the cold is not freezing you to death. How long have you been vego for? Mia (daughter) and her boyfriend are vego's and it is hard for this carnivore family to cater for them as well but we always manage. Im not a real meat person but i still crave it occasinally.

    Pauly we all do stupid things, i would be up with Dot now if i had not thought i could moderate successfully. All i can say is Lav and Byrd are not dumb and do know what they are talking about.

    SL i love that "last partner"! I'm pretty sure LB was my last partner before i just joined in with Pop and Pav. Yes i do worry sometimes about when i kark it but he is pretty good in that respect, knows what little i have is for the children and he would not fight that but may be a different matter if say my mum died and left me her assets. We have a great public health system thank god so no worries there. I hope he finally sees sense and signs those damn papers so you can move on with your girls. How was your daughters birthday?

    Humble very well said lovely and i was wondering if you were still doing your kind deed everyday. I would love to hear what you have done. You are a treasure and we are so lucky to have you here on this journey and i am pretty impressed completely with that speech, cant wait for the hundred.

    Well today Mia and i went to the markets and the sun was blaring down and we walked in and both said, this is not going to last long. I ended up with a coffee, bad move as it was so hot and walked out and now have touch of sunburn. Being a redhead sucks sometimes but we did go to an op shop and went and looked for a swimming pool and there were none, we even went to a hardware store. Funny thing though, when i was looking for a carpark this idiot took my park and as i was busy abusing him i realised it was my ex that i lived with for three years about 4 years ago. It ended very badly and i started to feel anxious about the "what if's", i run into him, he talks to me etc and then i thought to myself "i will just say hello and walk away, he will not bully me anymore" and it helped that i had Mia there. She wanted to go and take paint off his car and knife his tyres. thats my girl. So a quiet one tonight for me.

    Pav i did not forget you, i just forgot i still had a page to read and reply to when i posted. You will be getting paranoid soon wont you? Pav really you can take lots of pics and facetime the family when you are over holidaying with us and i am sure the family will understand. If they loved you...........My plan for an af weekend is just not to drink, i dont plan anymore which is a fantastic feeling but i do need to plan for this holiday which my mum says is in 8 weeks.

But now when you "quicklink" it will come up with Ladies and you can see who last posted anyways. i always know i have two pages to read with my cuppa in the morning before i get the day started and boy do i get peed if there are not two pages.

              Hi, Roxane

              Glad you found this thread! If you read back a bit, you'll get to know us. The name says most of it: we're on a mission to get AL out and keep it out of our lives. But, we're also having some fun and learning new things while we do it .

              All lengths of posts are welcome although Ava will appreciate it if you write a book and share all the juicy bits :H. (The long posts are great because they give us a chance to get to know one another better but every single contribution is welcome!)

              Now I need to read back and see what people have been up to.

                Hi Girls - I found this on mindbodygreen, a great website
                I really like it!!!


                Sometimes wellness can feel like a chore. Don?t get me wrong ? I love cooking with coconut oil, while sipping my ashwagandha tea and rolling out the yoga mat. But it can take a lot of discipline to get there every day.

                Sometimes we just don?t have time to meditate for hours, or add another workout into our mix. And, on top of everything else, it can be hard to keep up with the latest fads in wellness.

                Sometimes we need to get back to the basics and keep it simple. Here are eight simple things you can do every day to become the happiest version of yourself ? without breaking the bank or cramming two more hours into your day:

                1. Always be reading a book.

                Even if you only have 20 minutes a day to dedicate to reading, do it. Find time on the bus or train, or at night before bed. Even an audio book for quick car rides works. It doesn?t have to be lofty literature or self-help. Any book will do. Just make sure to start a new book whenever you finish one. It will make you more interesting, expand your viewpoint, and teach you something new every day.

                2. Do at least one thing that terrifies you.

                Whether it?s applying for a job you ?couldn?t possibly get? or asking someone out for dinner, always find a way to challenge yourself. It will keep you constantly growing. When you?re afraid, it teaches you how to be fearless. When you?re accomplished, it reminds you to be humble.

                3. Be completely vulnerable with one person.

                It doesn?t have to be the same person every day. You can choose your mother, then your significant other, then your best friend. Just completely let your guard down and let someone in. It will remind you that everything about you is beautiful, even the ?ugly? parts, and that you deserve to be loved for your strengths and your weakness. It will also teach you how to let love in and to love yourself.

                4. Drop one thing from your life that you don?t love.

                Each day, let go of one person, task, or object that you don?t love in your life, even if it?s as simple as those curtains that were never your style. Everything you own and everyone you associate with should be a reflection of you. If you keep anything in your life that you don?t love, it?s stopping you from loving your life entirely. Plus, dumping the dirt is just good feng shui.

                5. Take a step in the direction of your dreams.

                It doesn?t matter if it?s a tiny step. It doesn?t even matter what the step is. Don?t measure magnitude; just measure direction. If you take one small step toward your dreams every single day, you?ll be 365 steps closer to achieving what you want by the end of the year.

                6. Spend 30 minutes by yourself.

                Find 30 minutes to spend on just yourself. Maybe it?s getting a massage or meditating. Maybe it?s as simple as a cup of tea. Or, better yet, you could double up and make it your time to read. Whatever you choose, just let yourself know that you are worth spending 30 minutes with every day. And fight for its spot on your calendar as ardently as you would for a work meeting.

                7. Look in the mirror and tell yourself you love yourself.

                You are so blessed to be who you are. And you don?t know how much time you have left with yourself. So don?t let a day go by that you don?t say ?I love you? to yourself ? even if it feels uncomfortable at first.

                8. Be amazed by someone, and tell them.

                There?s no shortage of amazing things people do. From voluntarily doing the dishes to writing beautiful poetry to just making you laugh, people are full of amazing qualities. So find a reason to be amazed by someone, and let them know they amazed you. At the very least, you?ll make someone?s day. And that?s not a bad thing to do every day of your life.
