    Morning all :wave:

    3 weeks sober for me today, a whole 21 days :j

    Starting to feel good, sleeping fantasically and have had a couple of people at work comment that I look well :)

    Bells have been completely non-existent for most of this week, although I cannot become complacent cos they could strike at anytime.

    Hi Everyone,

    Sorry that I have not been about :o

    Mucho stresso here in Budgie land. Aka totally fed up :(

    Fil is still in hospital, it will be 4 weeks on Wednesday and his dementia is getting worse each day he is in there. Mr Budgie never heard anything off the interview he went for and is now feeling depressed again.

    Work for me is pants too.

    On a brighter note the sun was shining in Stokie land today :)

    I will try and have a look back, but welcome back Winebox and Mari. Hello to any newbies and hello to the oldies ;)

    Darling Jo hugs hunny and you take care of yourself, well done on staying sober :T Dear Lurky hope you are ok matey? Mp well done on the new grandson, you would have been visiting the maternity unit as I was visiting the surgical unit ;) Fay hope you are ok too hunny? Db, Shaggy,Random,Sos, 365, Ra, Heath, Pen, Maman, Cazza, Puzz, ClaraB,Sim,Bis, Gc, Ym and all hope you are ok too?

    Ms Honey B hope you are ok too my dear?

    Hugs to you all and I know I'm not about but I stil think of everyone.

    Much love
    Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hi Matey,

    Sooooooo glad things are good for you my Dear Friend, my Ds had a call on Friday to say that his lender would be issuing his mortgage offer :)

    Hopefully it won't be too long now ;)

    But I really am so very proud of you, your whole attitude just seems so different, whatever it is can I have some please?

    Af today so I am going to build on this now.

    Much love
    Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hi my loves :)

    My couple of days away has really helped my head (boiled or otherwise :p). No AF but no screaming blue murder breakdowns, which, in current circs, in also pretty good going!

    Hope everyone out there is ok, has enjoyed & stayed safe with fireworks, & that you're all snuggly toasty this eve :)

    No AFness for me either this weekend although today was nowhere near as bad as yesterday. So tomorrow will be a new day for me as well. I'll be thinking of you next week Mari as I'll be on the one day at a time journey as well.
