  • BHB, now I'm really worried you'll disappear for even longer if Mrs BHB has Molly's other whip :eek:

    I think I need a cardboard cutout decoy at the bottom of the field :D

  • BHB, now I'm really worried you'll disappear for even longer if Mrs BHB has Molly's other whip :eek:

    I have a cunning plan :D

    If I blow MP a kiss ...... :kiss: thus, she will take pity on me and not send said whip :D

    In the mean time alas a busy weekend, with work tomorrow, followed by 'farm stuff' then helping some friends to move house on Sunday .... ahh what a relaxing weekend. :rolleyes:
    :) Embrace your inner Hillbilly :)
  • Evening,


    Jo - amazing post, very inspirational. Read it with tears in my eyes. xx


    Fedupski - good to hear from you, very tough times for you at the moment, but 'this too shall pass'. Look after you xx


    Molly - Had wondered if I should 'auto-update' your total every day, but decided against it because I feel that our sobriety is a gift that shouldn't be taken for granted so I felt this would be the wrong thing to do - hope that's ok. xx

  • Oh dear! Watching 90 from the 90's on 4Music is reminding me of another ex when we never finished properly when I was much younger. Many emotional triggers around at the moment. Funny how songs are so connected to feelings. Reminders of different times of life and what went on then. Think I'd better switch off and go shortly.

  • 13 please GG

    Lovely to hear from you Budgie, hope you are well and happy.

    So busy this week with the two DDs birthdays. Got several 18 year olds downstairs celebrating DD1's 18th, drinking champagne. But i will not be tempted to finish off anything that's left because today is AF.

    Have a good weekend everybody

  • Wow, where did that wind come from, sounds like the roof's taking off:eek:

    Just rushing in to update, 13 AFD GG, bye the way you are doing a great job, thanks.

    Jo, thank you for that wonderful post, I'm sure it struck a cord for many of us. I know it did for me, I cannot imagine my life the way it was before, nor do I want to. This side of the fence is so much nicer:D

    Hope everyone is okay.
