    Tho personally i think the vivid dreams are quite cool:D

    They are when they don't disturb your sleep :eek: I had my normal vivid dream last night, trying to get on a bus (always always either a bus, train, boat or plane) with loads of bags and can't find a seat, bus went wrong way and I got lost. This is a regular and has been for years, there must be a reason behind it....anyone read dreams?

    Morning Lurks :wave:
    Morning Shaggy and Hi to everyone else :hello:

    Sounds like a classic "I have no control over my life" dream. You have too much to cope with, no help with it and you feel like you have no real control over your current circumstances and destiny.

    I don't really read dreams....This is just my opinion......Does it ring any bells|? Should I give up the day job?

    :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: hope not!! ;)

    :DNeigh, neigh, and thrice neigh :D

    Hope you're feeling better today Miss P (and everybody else who is under the weather). When you're up to it, I'm on 12 AFDs. Although for the purists perhaps not as I accidentally took a slurrp of my friend's G&T last night thinking it was my water :eek:. I'm not counting it tho' as wasn't intentional. I was really cross with my friend, which is irrational. Perspective needed I think.

    Too right. That doesn't count at all.
    If you continued to drink it, then I'd count it, but you didn't :T

    When I was about 2-3 months sober, I once had a mouthful of V&T thinking it was my lime and soda - my reaction was instinctive and I spat it out straight away (people thought I was mad:rotfl:)
    However, I could feel the warm sensation in my mouth, and had the intoxicating smell in my nostrils. Part of me wanted to drink.
    It showed me that I am not safe with alcohol in my body.

    I even avoid mouth-wash which is alcoholic. I don't want to take the risk and throw things away on the whim of a drink.

    Morning !

    AF last night, my sister was too which was cool. We stayed in and had a nice plate of pasta to complement the Italy game, which unfortunately was incredibly boring despite how excited we were before kick off, we'd even painted the italian flag on our faces! oh well, at least we didn't lose..

    In other news, I was flicking through some pictures of friends on Facebook last night and there was one of 'J', the girl I spent a lot of time with, hugging.......



    no, not another man....



    possibly worse...

    yep, hugging my ex's younger sister. hmm, this could be interesting/nightmare-ish...
    jusqu'ici tout va bien

    Morning all

    Feeling lot brighter today. Managed some toast this morning and am drinking ok.

    Busy cleaning ....whenever we've had a bug in the house, as soon as I feel well enough I give everywhere a good clean. All towels are in the wash and bathroom scrubbed. Bed stripped but not got energy to put fresh sheets on. OH can help me with that later. Piglet off to nursery at 1pm so will have a sit down before work.

    Must get some flowers for my Mum tomorrow....she came over in a taxi yesterday to sit with Piglet while I went to bed. The Dad came home from work to collect them at lunchtime and take them back to thiers. They even took him out to dinner before bringing him back at 7. Very grateful to have my Mum and Dad!

    Hope everyone ok? Thanks all for the get-well wishes.

    Miss P
    xx
