Hey everyone, day 22 here - went out for dinner with old work friends,sad to hear things are awful at old work place,sad for them but happy that I am out of it. Lot of mistrust and bad management and communication.Lovely to see them though.

Really tempted to drink,thoughts of cava and 'maybe I could just have one' etc etc - so glad I made myself drive - I know this thinking is BS.I am going to drive to friends next Friday - much as I love them I find it really tempting to drink with them, used to always get hammered and I think they miss me getting hammered with them.It's that thing - am I living my life to please others or for me?Also focusing back on today and trying to just ' watch' those thoughts rather than start debating that really bad idea.I may look out some AF cava though,marks and spencer had some that was ok when really cold.

Walk/run was very slow and I didn't have a lot of energy yesterday - but I stuck it out and just did more walking than I had planned rather than give up. Next one will be better, today I am off to skating after work,a skills session rather than a full contact sesh - looking forward to it.

Have a great day everyone, floor almost complete - this Sunday it should all be done.
Woo hoo!

the perfect Chrimbo paper!!





I bought myself a limo yesterday,but it cost me so much I can't afford a driver.

So I've spent all my money and nothing to chauffeur it.

My wife said she's leaving me because I can't do anything right when it comes to housework.

Selfish bitch,it took me ages to mop that carpet.

When I'm on the bus I always sit there with my eyes closed.

I hate seeing old women having to stand.

I'm not saying I'm ugly,but in prison the other inmates made me shower alone just incase I dropped the soap.

It's my wife's birthday today,so I'm taking her out tonight to that place where you can drink as much as you like for ?4.50.

The swimming baths.

McDonald's make their Milkshakes like their staff.

Thick as fuck.

My 17 year old son won ?21 million on the lottery recently.I was so happy for him but when I rang to congratulate him he didn't want anything to do with me.

His foster parents must of raised him to be a right little shit.

It's great that you can do all your Xmas shopping online & have the gifts wrapped & delivered direct to your relatives.

It means you don't even have to see any family over the festive season.

Thought I'd get in the festive spirit by going to see the coke lorry,I've checked it's route and apparently it's just left Nigella's house.

My girlfriend is Cooking me an "Irish Mixed Grill" for tonight's Dinner.. !!

New Potatoes, Roast Potatoes, Boiled Potatoes, Mashed Potatoes, Waffles and Hash Browns with Chips

I came home from the pub four hours late last night.

"Where the fuck have you been?" Screamed my wife.

I said,"I've been playing Poker with some blokes.

"Playing Poker with some blokes?" She repeated,"Well you can pack your bags and go."

"So can you,"I replied."This isn't our house anymore."

Hi Bear, Lav, Narilly, ppq, sam, det TT, pauly - sorry you can see from my non- capitalisation that I'm so tired.. a mad week but an AF week so that has to be a good thing.
TT- I splashed out and bought that book by Anne Dowlett Johnson - I was really impressed with that RNZ interview. I really should not be buying myself anything for myself at the moment but I think it will be great to read on the plane as it's a very long journey. It's the first time i have bought an ebook.. took me ages to work out how.. I was nearly purple with frustration ( or was that because my son lost yet another pair of swimming googles.. going to have to go through all the lost property at school!!)

Mick- I just Love that Xmas paper, had a bit of a laugh imagining sending one in particular to a person in particular!! Haha

Take care all - Lav I hope you don't get too much more snow.. Crickey, just couldn't imagine it!!

MAE ALL....

Bear...thanks for the kickoff and well done on adding to your af days. I have, or more correctly had, "friends" like yours. The minute we got together it was bring out the 40 lber. Gratefully now I have different "friends" in my life. Stick to the no thanks I'm driving as it is working for you.

Mick...love the tank and thanks for the coffee. Ah back to routine, gotta love it. Celebrating a coworkers birthday today so it's out for lunch. 9 days and counting to our 2 week Christmas break. Can hardly wait.

Pat...yup an AF week is DEFINITELY good. It just amazes me what turns up in the lost and found bins. Hey....that gives me an idea, I need some Chrissy presents.

We're having a heatwave -5 at the moment and going to hit 0 today. All that snow will be turning into piles of slush! It does make your daily drive an interesting one. One more cuppa then have to get ready for work. Have a great AF Wednesday all and all to come...PPQP

Good morning Abbers,

Sunny & a balmy 16 degrees here today
A bit cold for this part of the world!

bear, I wish there was some way you could shield yourself from the pull of some of your friends. Reminds me of when my kids were growing up & I could spot a trouble maker in the crowd. I had no problem steering my kid away from certain individuals

Mick, I'm just a naturally happy & energetic person. At least that's true when no one is here giving me any shit :H
I have much to do today, tomorrow the boys will be here all afternoon & into the evening!

No more snow today Patrice just sunshine & below freezing air!
I hope you enjoy your book & find your son's goggles. Sounds typical, my son lost countless numbers of winter jackets somehow when he was a kid.

PQ, you be careful out on the roads too!
My driveway was a sheet of ice last evening. I have to walk across to get to the chicken house but I tread very carefully

Wishing everyone a great AF Hump day!
I bring greetings from YahYah! She is doing just fine, but very busy with new job. I keep an eye out on Facebook for people :H

Yep - it's cheap alternative to champagne,I will get there with the BS thinking. These are genuine good friends,not flaky just booze based friends, it's just booze has featured a lot.

I've binned off the booze being the only connection 'friends'.Binned off rollerderby tonight - feel bad,feel like would enjoy it if I went but I am shattered,it's foggy and dark and cold and I don't want to injure myself.

Happy wednesday.
