Morning all, been meaning to post for DAYS! Work has been hellish so just not a minute to myself. Just logging on to do some now, on a bloody Sunday, but thought I'd spend a few mins saying hi first.
Day 62 here. So close to 100 @Sneachta WELL DONE! You're right we are all doing good - even if some have given in briefly, doesn't matter, just get back up dust down and get back on the wagon. What's AMA?
So shite to hear about your total lockdown in Ireland, you must be livid! I'm still in tier 1 so not much happening here but no idea if/when that may change. It's half term here next week and I've supposedly got the week off work but so much to do will have to do bits and pieces. Not as if I'm going anywhere anyway. Might do a couple of days out but the forecast is utter shite so who knows.
@Rupertpenrysmistress well done for not giving in, you're doing great. No funny stories here, feeling super MEH but work isn't helping and also having kitchen done which is turned the house upside down and have no oven, hob, kitchen sink etc. Driving me mad already. On Friday work was so awful I thought right I need a treat, making a coffee at home is annoying so I thought I'm going to be indulgent and order myself a Starbucks latte delivered. WAs so pleased with myself, it arrived all lovely and hot, I went into the garage room (garage conversion which is like a little den for the kids and where we've currently got a little fridge and the kettle etc) to put some sweetener in it and promptly dropped it on the floor and spilt the whole lot. Then I cried. Obvs. Typically that is the ONE room in the entire downstairs that has carpet and now looks like it has stained. FML! It's funny (ish) now but I was so pissed off, my lovely treat all over the fecking carpet!! So my idea is to treat yourself with a nice starbucks delivery, just don't spill it when it arrives. Alternatively I am doing lots of treating myself with donuts, chocolate, wine gums, etc. Not great for the old waistline though.
So, yeah, that's about the only story I have for you! Has anyone read or listened to "Glorious Rock Bottom" yet by Bryony Gordon? You must. Also you must listen to the "over the influence" podcast which is a pro-sober podcast and is really good, on series 2 episode 6 I got a little shout out as I had donated a few £ to the running of the podcast! You'll have to guess who I am if you listen!
I have FINALLY got around to getting the arm weights out of the garage. Haven't actually used them yet obvs, can't rush these things! Now I just need to google the arm exercises and actually do them. What could go wrong? However they are super light, one pair says 1kg on the end, and the other pair just says "3" but doesn't actually feel any heavier than the other ones so I am wondering if they are 3lbs? Is that likely? Are they going to be enough to actually do anything to my hideous arms?
That's shite about your elders school thingy @Ynwa12345
and also utter nonsense when your littlest can still go in and to the park etc. Don't give in and drink. IF we want to, we can all have one at Christmas. It'll be interesting to see whether we do want to enough though. I went to a work friends on Thursday with a couple of others and they were drinking. I tried to hide the fact I wasn't with AF prosecco but one of them twigged so I had to say I was having a break. They were like "well you have to drink when we go out next month for x's birthday". ARGH. I said "er yeah sure". Now dunno what to do, I feel like such a bloody bore not drinking. And yes it was true I had had enough by 9pm and wanted to go home. Handy to be driving though, I used to get an uber back from hers and it was like £30.
Mehole Martin made me laugh :-)
Right better stop procrastinating and get on with the work. Please keep posting everyone, you guys really keep me going and I don't like how the thread has gotten so quiet.
Happy sober Sunday all.
