All Aboard The Brave Babes Battle Bus!

[Mouseface]

Hello, welcome to thread five!!

I'm Mouse and I'm 10 whole days sober which is bloody amazing given that I would normally consume nearly 90 units per week! And that's without 'special occasions'!!

So, if I can do it, you can do it! The support here is awesome, no matter where you are in your quest to quit. No judging, no cliquey groups.

We are just real, honest people. All helping each other to give up the booze. Come meet the other Brave Babes........................

And for those who would like to read the adventures so far, here are the links from the first four threads!

JWN's original thread (the reason we are all here)

Thread three

Thread four

Poor you mouse. Do you get any help with DS's care? (I have no idea how these things work so apologies if I sound ignorant.)

Hi Mouse I missed your posts when you were away, welcome back!

helloooo everyone!! just bacl from meeting and a pedicure (costs less then 3 days worth of booze!)

anyway, welcome to msgee, well done maddogs, two whole weeks!!! bloody amazing!!

right, tis nearly friday night, dh and i are off to see 'midsummer nights dream' being performed in a forest!, he has just ordered us a gourmet picnic!! yum yum!!, tomorrow i am off to sandown races in a posh frock! , on sunday i have 10 for dinner, including dd, her bf, my bd and sil and loads of kids!!

COS I TOLD THE VOICE TO 'FUCK THE FUCK OFF'!!!

have to go and get ready - have a good weekend moomin!!

Bye JWN - have a fab weekend! x

Are you there mouse? Maybe you have fallen asleep! (You 'sound' very tired lovely!)

Red - in short, no. I get 'paid' just over £50 per week to care for my son 24/7 because I am claiming Carers Allowance.

It gets to me some days is all. Igonore me please.

Thanks MissP - I missed you guys!! And not being able to have a rant post!

JWN - sounds fab!!! Have a wonderful weekend. I am very of your plans!! In a nice way though.

X posted Red!! Yes, I'm here

JWN - have a fab weekend!!!

My 'voice' is telling me that it's friday, and that I can just have a drink while I'm cooking dinner.

I am ignoring it and about to sip on a long, cold glass of........milkshake

Good work lowenergy!

Mouse - you are always really upbeat and positive on here. You are so allowed to feel shit and tell us all about it! Totally understandable. (And that seems a very, very low amount of cash for what you are doing imo.)

Ok babes, I hope that everyone has fabulous weekends. (Or just sober ones ) I will really try to get on over the weekend. Otherwise see you all on Monday. Thanks for all the support, comments and laughs over another week.

Take care everyone x x

Bye Moomin thanks for today

Bye Red.

Have a wonderful weekend. xx

You and me both Lowenergy!! Diet Coke with cubes for me.

Mouse I'm sorry your exhausted, but I,m not surprised. Will you have a chance to get a bit of r&r tonight?

MissP

It's a bubble bath, hot chocolate and bed for me. As soon as DS is asleep, I'll be in bed too. I'm even going to treat myself to a bag of Minstrels with my book!!

It's all Hollywood here you know!!

Mouse I don't want to make you jealous but I am having a packet of green Aero balls!!!! But not till i'm in my pj's - post bath

OOOOooooooo - mint Aero balls!! I heart mint Aero. I may have to have both!!!

Tis Friday after all!!

Yay lets push the boat out... But in the meantime I had better feed the troops!

Good evening lovely babes .
Welcome MsGee ,Mouse - lovely to have you back ( but even if you get a carers allowance you need some respite ,is carers same as attendance allowance ? )
JWN where do you get your energy from...?
I'm tucking into my Supermalt - shed loads of sugar as MIFLAW said .
Thanks so much to all for being here ,sorry I'm so erratic ,my access to lap top is a little sporadic .
Will be away for a few days ,so may not be able to post .
Will tune in mentally .

Glad to see that there is an appreciation of chocolate on the board :)

Thought I would tune back in, I am doing some work (pity there isn't a smug smiley face) so for once I might end the day having acheived what I need to.

And I am NOT having a drink. Feel like I have got past a tough bit of not starting at the normal time.

Plan is to have some strawberry milkshake and an early night. Hope you are all having good evenings.

Hi MsGee I"m a chocoholic too! To add to all my other oholics...!
Goodnight computer fairies hope you all have a peaceful night. X

Good one MsGee - strawberry milkshake ,yum .

MsGee

Good plan re the early night and one I to will be following. Well done on not drinking at your normal time.

ginger - lovely to 'see' you too! Respite was no'd by DH from the start. Long, sad, story. For another day maybe.......

It's just very hard some days but I don't begrudge him a second of my time. And I don't know re carers and attendance allowance.

Night MissP

Sleep well. xx

Thanks - and thanks to everyone for the welcome and advice.

Temptation avoided by revisiting that list of things I won't miss and adding a few more.

Feeling pleased. I have worked. I have not drank and now I'm off for an early night with my utterly crap novel. I am not going to worry about tmrw night but for now, I have nearly got through day one.
