fedupandskint

I'm a bit bored, a bit lonely and a bit sad now

Think I want to go and buy a bit of choccie and stick a DVD on this afternoon for a change otherwise I'll sit on here all afternoon and do my own head in

Might go back to bed for a bit as feel run down today, felt like this last weekend and it wore off during the week so I thought it had gone away

Jo - pasta buy a big value bag, value toms or pasta sauce shouldn't be more than a few pence

Hiya guys.

I'm still hungover, after stupidly drinking all afternoon / evening, on Friday.

Can't believe I did this, after going 5 weeks sober :-(

I got the job, working for the taxi company, which was / is great.

I think I'd been feeling so nervous, and anxious about the interview, that afterwards, it was me drinking on the relief / anxiety (which was strangely, still there a bit, while in town) / celebrating getting the job

Was knocking back the double vodka and tonics, in my local Wetherspoons pub, at about 3pm, after drinking since about 1pm in a couple of town pubs..was badly sick in the loo at Wetherspoons - grim.

Then my mate met me in the pub, and we carried on drinking for another hour.

He left (lives in a nearby city), as he had to drive back, and I carried on boozing alone, in Wetherspoons' - they really are awful pubs aren't they? :-/

Girlfriend then met me in another pub - she was great, and we came back to mine, fairly early - about 9 I think.

However, at about 4am this morning, she ended up having a go at me, literally the second I'd woken up, and became physically abusive. She ended up hitting me quite hard on my back.

I picked up the phone, and told her, that if she carried on I'd call the Police.

She then hit me about another 5 times, quite hard on my arm, and back. She's actually b*ggered up a muscle in my back, just under my shoulder blade :-/

She's as nice as pie today, having gone and got some grub (I gave her the dosh for this), and we watched Transformers DVD, and watched trashy telly.

All apologetic, saying she's "so sorry", and worried that she's "cooked [my] goose now haven't I Sim?"

I really don't know know what to do, as she hit me quite hard on my arm about 6 weeks back, when she scrunched up my debit card too.

This is domestic violence right?

A bit in shock really, and I need to concentrate on getting all the forms filled out, for the taxi license application and medical (6 - 8 weeks). My focus now, is to be getting back to working hard, and staying sober.

This is an abusive relationship, and it isn't helping.

Good Night all.

Sleep tight.

All the best Sim.
I need to do something everyday to stay sober - it may only take a few minutes, and is often a pleasure. Just because I haven't had a drink for a while doesn't mean I can drink safely.
If I did nothing different, I would still be drinking. Will power is not enough for me

Hi All

Hope everyone is good.

I have just had a phone call from a colleague advising she has a migraine and she wants me to finish her shift, me being me felt pressured to say yes, now i am angry with myself.

This is someone who has not worked a full weekend since she started back after maternity, through being ill, or migraines or whatever.

Always on weekends.

So I am left to pick up the peices.

She has not called a manager to advise her.

That'll be another 4 hours I am owed then.....

Sorry to b1tch but next time i won't answer the phone....

Vent over!

Have a great day!
