Well, this is our tenth thread so we are throwing a little party!

Everyone is invited! No booze of course, soft drinks and mocktails only!

I'm Mouse, hello. Smile

There are all kinds of drinkers on board the bus. Come and join the journey, whatever stage you are at, drinking, cutting down, wanting to stop or sober already.

Everyone is welcome to post here. Come say hi.

The journey so far is below.

I did get some sleep, not much and Nemo is poorly again today. I just feel a bit more chipper than of late.

Ride the wave Mouse, ride the wave! Smile

LittleRedPumpkin · 13/10/2010 10:38

Sending get-wet vibes down your way, Mouse.

VampireMouseface · 13/10/2010 10:42

'Get-wet'? It's not raining here yet but the amount of snot Nemo is producing could end up flooding the place Grin

MsGee · 13/10/2010 10:45

I am now desperate for a bacon buttie. I wonder if there is a local delivery service?? Grin

Hope Nemo feels better soon, keep wiping the snot.

Also, challenge for the day - shall we all halloween our names? I have seen a few people doing it and want to join in the fun, love VampireMouseface and LittleRedPumpkin, not sure how I can change mine?

VampireMouseface · 13/10/2010 10:48

There is actually a vampire mouse too!! How scary is that!! A little biting rodent!! Yikes!

Fantastic name!

MissPerrier · 13/10/2010 11:47

Hi LittleRed - Well done on reaching day 7! You make a really good point, I think it is really important to replace that previously skewed reward system. Too often in the past, I have failed to address that, then felt hard done by,cue major sulk, cue a glass of something - 'because I'm worth it' Confused. Enjoy your new book, I truly believe you CAN make it to day 12 and beyond Smile

MissPerrier · 13/10/2010 11:50

How about MorticiaPerrier Grin

MsGeepers · 13/10/2010 12:17
VampireMouseface · 13/10/2010 12:17

How about MissteriousPerrier? I like your suggestion too!

Christi - GREAT NAME!!!!

VampireMouseface · 13/10/2010 12:18

Yay!! MsGeepers!

MsGeepers · 13/10/2010 12:18

Go for it MissP, I love Morticia!

MsGeepers · 13/10/2010 12:19

sorry mouse x posted!

VampireMouseface · 13/10/2010 12:21

Morticia is fab.

LittleRedPumpkin · 13/10/2010 12:24

Argh, I meant 'get well'! Stupid typing.

MissP - thanks! Smile

diabolik · 13/10/2010 12:27

-- grrrr 40000 bloody action items systems that are crap clients being useless and a dev team thats even more usless ..

no wonder I drank ...

TheAntiChristi · 13/10/2010 12:41

Drinking won't help your response to the poor systems diabolik but changing your name to diavolo might!

hippychicky · 13/10/2010 12:42

...and you will deal with it all much better now you are sober.

MorticiaPerrier · 13/10/2010 12:46

TADA Blush Does my bum look big in this?

diabolik · 13/10/2010 12:50

runs away now that the bum question has been asked ...

MorticiaPerrier · 13/10/2010 12:52

Sorry Diabolik got a bit carried away with the whole Halloween thing (glares at MOUSE) Sorry your having a shit day. Sad

MorticiaPerrier · 13/10/2010 12:54

I need to calm down... I have just eaten 3 squishing skulls and a witches finger and it's only October 13th Angry

diabolik · 13/10/2010 12:55

LOL - no worries - I like to shout at my laptop -sounds worse then it really is .. But women asking bout how bums look normally means me giving the wrong answer and digging my own grave :)

hippychicky · 13/10/2010 12:59

I'm struggling to 'halloween up' my name - maybe I just need to change it completely -I chose it when I was pissed and depressed - not usually when I make my best decisions strangely enough!
