The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Carry On Past The Homebrew In The Shed!

[HammerMouseOfHorrors]

Hello, I'm Mouse.

Welcome to the Brave Babes Bus. You can get on at any point in the journey, there is plenty of room, it's free to ride and there is always someone who will be along to hold your hand over the speedbumps!

So, no matter where you are in your quest to quit the booze, join us for support, advice and a fair few laughs along the way

There is no judging, no cliques, just real poster with real problems being real and honest!

Come and meet the others.....

Here is the previous thread where you can read all of the threads so far, including JWN's original thread and the reason we are all here.

Right you lot - am off to bed - if you really want to relax tonight change the sheets - have just done mine and it is heavenly -mmmh clean sheets - nothing better.

nite Babes xxxx

Off to bed too, not with Silver, obviously.

Night night xxx

Yep I'm off to bed as well, not much input tonight as I have been catching up

Not drank wine tonight & feeling really tired so I am going to try to get some sleep.

Our boiler/pump has packed in so we have no hheating

Night all - kept myself busy round the house and taxiing. So thinking positively - no hangover tomorrow.
Hope your heating gets sorted soon TA and hope it's not as cold where you are as it is here.

Morning campers,

gosh! we were a tiredy old lot last night!

I too went to bed early, and slept right through until 6.15, no waking up at 4 full of remorse. Day 7 for me.

diabolik I hope you had a good rest yesterday, and you can start a new day today feeling positive.

mouse how is your tooth? Did you get any sleep?, and I hope Nemo is rallying.

Wishing you all a calm and peaceful morning, if that's possible now that school is back!

See you later :)

Morning all - crap night's sleep - awake since 4am, but not hungover which helps with the tiredness. I'm also aware that for some of you the idea of being able to sleep for 4 consecutive hours is heaven!
Hope everyone is doing Ok this morning.

Well done witchety and TA (looking forward to your positive name change btw) and Thurso and well done to me. Sober evening all round.

Sleep may not be perfect but at least it is proper restorative sleep. The alcohol induced sleep may feel like oblivion but it is not doing as much good a proper sleep.

I have a busy day today so won't be on much till later. Have a good day on the bus everyone.

Morning all - slept all night!! 10 - 6am & as thurso said, no 4am waking with "oh fuck what did I do this time"

Witchety It is very cold but nothing beats extra blankets & actually going to bed in your pj's as apposed to waking up fully dressed on the sofa freezing to death

The boiler should be fixed today but it will cost what I have left in christmas money which is a bummer - £140 for a pump

Hope you all have a lovely day & I am going to do what mouse suggested & treat my self to nice clean sheets again this week, it really does make bed much more appealing.

morning everyone!!, sounds like we all deserve a round of applause!! , i slept ok except for an hour or so when i layed their and mulled over world problems!!

off to meeting again today,libary for a browse, then a bit of sewing is on the cards - a nice day for me these days - previously i would have taken today, gone out for 'lunch' (got pissed), then just carried on and got more pissed, achieved nothing except upsetting either dh or dd and then passed out early in the evening - its so nice to have a day of choices planned rather than an inevitable wasted, miserable evening with me cast as the drunken lump on the sofa!

doh!, even im not that dense!! 'there'!!!

Aaaawwwnnniiinnnn

That is how I say morning. I can't talk. My face is the size of a football on one side. I have been up and down all night contemplating pulling the tooth myself and I'm starving.

Luckily, I have drinking straws in, and yoghurts and soup so that's me sorted.

No hydro or physio again as I need to get drugged up. I can't even brush my teeth. YUK!!!

Do any of you have connections with The Tooth Fairy? I'll pay her to take this tooth!!!

Help!!

Awning Mouse:)

Christi - you wicked, wicked lady you!!

I have just ROFL'd so much I have hurt my face even more. Bloomin' fantastic and that is EXACTLY how I look, I don't even have cotton in my cheek!!!

Plus CJ is fab, one of the best on The West Wing!!

Thank you for cheering me up.

Awning desire

Are you feeling any brighter today lovely?

Mornin .

feeling much better today .. still sort of surreal ... what was I thinking .. but my resolve has been strengthened - I dont need this in my live - So on and upwards ..

mouse how long till you get it sorted?
diabolik glad you're back on board.

Glad to hear it diabolik.

• No idea why I did that - I feel like the stuffing has been knocked out of me - Worse is I know this happens .. so why do it .. grmmmmblle

anyway - work till 1700 and then ill be of for a swim ..

Glad you're back, Diabolik.

There must have been some trigger diabolik, and while it's important to look forwards it's also important to work out what happened.

Welcome back Diabolik,
Feeling much brighter today Mouse, Day 5 here:)

It's like you're suggesting I never listen ...

I think I was trying to make a general warning (cooking with alcohol, especially spirits, can be risky) out of a specific case (I'm making a cake for someone else.) And, of course, whoever the cake is for, I bet very few of us can honestly say we never took a swig of the drink that was meant to be for culinary purposes ... so it's also quite a temptation.

Plus these threads move very fast so I don't always see all the messages.

But of course, if the cake is not for you, then it should contain whatever suits the eventual eaters. Sorry if it sounded like I was saying something different.

sending soft cheese to you mouse

Morning all! Glad to be back and have caught up on quite a lot this morning.

How's everyone doing today? I am OK but really struggling with the news I got yesterday about my friend. How everyone's OK.
