I had my first UFO experience this morning. I walked into the kitchen and said to the missus "Morning fat arse."
Next thing there were flying saucers coming at me from fcking everywhere!


My mate Paddy told me he robbed a shop last night.
"What did you get?" I asked.
"26 pictures," he smiled, showing me. "The cheapest one is worth over £180,000."
I said, "Paddy, these are from a fcking estate agents."

Hi folks. I meant to start a thread and got distracted. So thanks Lav. Good to see you are a bit more yourself Mick.
Yuk, sick customers Pauly they should stay away.
I tried to book an appointment with my hairdresser and have to wait until end Feb. She is that popular. Hope I can get a cancellation.
We are away this weekend. Daughter has another musical festival and we are driving her and friend there and staying in a nearby town. I am not going to the festival. No way. I will go hiking.
Didn't get much sleep but I can sleep in the car. Esp if she is driving -no, I will have my eyes peeled. . You all have a good weekend. It's already Saturday here.

Ha, Mick! Love the UFO joke. I see your "I survived" poster, and raise you one. Maybe others have some to share?

Hello all!

Not just the fact it's Friday the 13th but it's a Friday is going to be tough for me. Especially because instead of being able to work on house projects and/or exercise, we're entertaining some friends tonight. Alcohol won't necessarily be flowing, but it's a usual Friday event. Can't tell you the last time I woke up on a Saturday without a hangover.

All day today I've been bargaining with myself: "If husband pours himself a glass of wine, I can have just one. I'll keep it at just one. I'll just match what he's drinking." Then I remember the thousands of times I've told myself that same thing and it always ends in a disaster. So, even if he pours himself a drink. I will refrain. I even bought a fun herbal tea from the store so I can have something 'special' to drink.

Wish me luck as I head into day 3...

Hi DTBA I wish you strength for tonight, you got this! Enjoy your tea and friends

Good evening Abbers!

That warm spell of a few days is now over & the temp is dropping like a stone - oh well. It was nice to be outside & in the sun without a heavy coat for a few days

Pauly, everyone seems to be sick, yuck. My granddaughter missed school on Wednesday due to a stomach virus. Today the school nurse called me to come pick up my grandson. He had a 102.4 temp & neither of his parents were available. I was on the way to get him when my son suddenly answered my text message & went to get him. Apparently my DIL is out of town somewhere. I hope you are washing your hands frequently......you know the routine. People should just stay home when they are sick

Mick, your project is looking fabulous, ha ha!
We are doing our best to hold the fort down here in your absence. Hope you continue to feel more like your jolly old self

TT, it took me a long time to feel comfortable in the car with one of my kids driving. I wish you a peaceful but fun weekend. Happy hiking!

Pie, so you are already thru winter huh? Good for you

DTBA, planning to succeed is the way to go. Be firm in your commitment to be AF & don't focus on what other people are drinking. What you are drinking is the only thing that matters! Enjoy the company.

We're supposed to have some very small snow event tomorrow. It had better be small!!!
Wishing everyone a peaceful night!

Hello all!....Wish me luck as I head into day 3...

Welcome DTBA....We got your back!!! Day 3 is going to be awesome!!! :goodjob:

Welcome, DTBA! Breaking the habit of reaching for alcohol, was the most challenging part for me. So smart of you to have tea ready as a substitute. Substituting something else for an alcohol "reward", is a powerful tool in the beginning.
