Joining this board is so, whats the word, inspiring or cathartic? or both!just being able to type my nonesense knowing that others reading understand and are willing you to suceed is fab.

Actually, being able to spell cathartic is fab :rotfl:Well done for last night.

Jo hope I haven't offended you re the jacket....I've got far worse to 'fess up to in the fashion stakes...I was a teenager in the 70s remember! :eek:

Miss P pls put me down for 2 afds yesterday & today. I feel like a bit of a cheat 'cos I simply can't have a drink so willpower doesn't come into it...I'll be sorely tested when my 5 days meds is up.....

115K hope you feel better later. I usually get that bad night but I slept like a log until my ******* tooth (or rather, hole) woke me up.....can't believe it's giving me so much gip.

wbf glad you're disconnected from the sofa!

OH at the pub so just whizzing in......& out again.....have a fab Sunday all!

Hi all-just checking in after over a week of FLU!!! Yuk. Kids suffered about 2 days, me and little ones dad laid up for a week, hope thats not an indication of pathetic immune systems worn out by years of drinking?

Glad to see you are all OK, there are new people to spur us on and motivate and that old freinds are finding a way too.

Sorry if I've not commented on how people are doing individually but I've got to read the last few days posts first. Best of luck tonight everyboby!!!!

Hi guys :hello:

Hope everyone is ok this Sunday? Not many posts today I hope that is because you are all enjoying yourselves and of course behaving too

I have been to the gym and I have also booked my hotel in London. Now as we all know my last experience was :eek: so I have been very careful and I have booked number 23 in London on Trip Advisor.

Which is the London Hilton Tower Bridge They have as special promotion on at the moment plus I have gone through Quidco (not tracked yet though). So I am very excited :j My Ds has booked the week off so I shall have my very own tour guide as well :j and you guessed it my long awaited curry in Brick Lane :j

So a much more cheery Budgie B I feel

Bhb I meant to say mate about the chilli sauce in the eye :eek: it does sound mighty painful, when my Ds was 3 my husband was cutting a Karvol capsule and as he snipped the end it squirted into my Ds eye. I WAS NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL. Though in fairness it was an accident. So my advice is to keep away from Chilli sauce and also my husband when he is anywhere near Karvol capsules. On a more serious note I do hope you and your family are ok? It must be such a difficult time for you all, we are all thinking of you. Big hugs mate and take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Miss P I do hope you and Darling Piglet are having a nice Sunday? I am on 2 af days please when you do the scores. I have kept myself busy reading Trip Advisor so no red wine for me, perish the thought :eek: See Budgie is behaving, well I wouldn't dare not :rotfl: Big hugs to you both xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Go and tell them everything and get the help that you need Angel :A Btw you were applying for another job how has that gone and how is the vertigo?

We are fine thank you Budgie.

We finally have a death certificate so can finally arrange the funeral, which Mrs BHB and her brother are doing tomorrow.
SO hopefully by the middle of next week we should be back to relative normality again

We have all been in the pool this afternoon - even Mrs BHB. Though she did have a look of horror on her face when she got half way down the ladder . It was 26 deg though - what does she want ? A bath ? :rotfl:;)

Have just collected a load of veggies from the garden and made a vegetable soup for tea. Had home made crispy croutons and shredded crispy bacon on top and some fresh basil. Very nice it was too, though a little on the heavy side and now can hardly move :rotfl:

I was going to be AF today but had a bottle of stella left so am currently polishing it off, though very very slowly as am bit full !

So Miss Piggy, 13 Units this month please; 0 AF days yet

Best Wishes
Andy

Hi Andy what a relief that you now have the death certificate, at least now as you say the funeral can be arranged.

My mil died 2 years ago and there had to be a post moretom, it was awful just sitting around, basically not been able to do anything.

Once the funeral is passed then you can all start to grieve.

So please do take care and look after that lovely wife of yours, it must be such a terrible time for her. But I am so glad she is getting on better with her brother and you are too. :A

God Bless

Good evening everyone!

Just a quickie as have a LOT of ebaying to do! Have been putting off doing a car boot for ages so thought I would bite the bullet and ebay it all instead. Eeek!:eek: Piglet was trying to help me sort it all out....and kept reclaiming all his old toys and clothes I'm trying to get shot of!!

Last night I went out to the pub for my friends birthday. I had two soda and limes and then came home! Caught myself "tutting" (silently luckily!) after my two friends plowed their way through 3 bottles of wine in an hour and a half. I was VERY glad I didn't have thier heads and stomachs this morning (they were opening a 4th as I left). Am I growing up at last do you think???

Budgie - so glad you have booked yourself a holiday. Am sure you will have a fantastic time in London with your DS. Just let us know when we all need to be in brick Lane!!:rotfl:

BHB - glad death cert finally sorted. Horrible when it all drags on so. Hugs to Mrs BHB.

FUAS - good luck for tomorrow!!

Catch up more later tomorrow hopefully!!

I just wanted to pop back to give our Lovely Miss P a very big hug ((()))

I mean sweetheart you are just going from strength to strength, well done you on staying af last night :T

I wouldn't put it so much as growing up but as seeing what is important and what is just not worth it.

Budgie is so pleased you are doing so well and you are FAB, I SAID FAB :T

Thankyou for updating the scores even though you have much to do, hugs to Darling Piglet too. (())

God Bless
Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
