The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Carry On Past The Christmas Party (part 2)

[TheMousefaceBeforeChristMouse]

Hello

I'm Mouse.

Welcome to the Brave Babes Bus - Gerald! Blame Silver for the name!

We are a group of MNers who post about our relationship with alcohol and how drinking it, or not, has an effect on our day to day lives.

Come and meet the other Brave Babes, say hi, take a seat or just read.

Here are the threads so far

just to let you all know I am fine - off to meeting in an hour - DD knicking computer now - be back about 10.15pm. xxxx

Hi

Feel like I've got a rollercoster going round in my head. Realised in the last 2 weeks my final divorce papers have come through for me to sign, been proposed to and have VVV strong feeling for neighbour whose head seems worse than mine!

Been seperated from soon to be XH and it was me that wanted to split but still been hard, been with him since I was 19 and I'm now 26 36. Feel good one minute and crap the next. Just hoping the New Year is more settled

Sorry I don't usually feel sorry for myself like this. In RL I'm known as the happy/smiling one

But Zany in 'real' life we pretend such a lot. We pretend we're happy, we pretend we're in perfect relationships, we pretend we're not drinking too much.

On here, there is just a little space to be totally, totally honest. With ourselves. And with the other Babes.

Go on zany be honest (with yourself), would your life be more settled if your drinking was under control? I bet it would. So why wait until new year - you could start practicing now, right now. Experiment with not drinking tonight and see whether your life feels just a tiny, tiny bit less chaotic tomorrow.

Zany that is why we are here, we don't have to hide our real feelings. Have a good moan, then it will be easier to face RL.

Hi BB how are things?

Dear zany I started to write a reply you, but then events have taken over,Sorry.

I felt really brilliant tonight, hair blonde, high heels for tomorrow (black patent JWN), but... DH has gone in to the kitchen to make pate for work tomorrow,

Bl**dy fed up and going up for a bath.

Remembered! It's really hard being the Good one Zany, may be that's why we do it? But things are so much better with a clearer head, Really.

thurso - bet you look gorgeous with your hair done. I've never had highlights but have seen woman sat in the hair dressers as I've gone past, and they've still been there on my way back past!!

Sorry your DH is ignoring the fact that you look bloody gorgeous.

Do you want me to have a word??

Mouse Bl**dy yes please.

Although am 5ft 8, and in heels am 6ft!!

I used to worry about it at school, but don't care now.

I would just like to feel like a woman, tonight, not mummy, or wife, or anything but me really.

Must be the hair !

Sounds fabulous thurso. And I would have loved to have been tall.

Hi Venus Sorry, I wasn't ignoring you, I went out to a drinks party at a neighbours. There was some lovely mulled apple juice, but a lot of folks still go when I don't ask for red wine.

I'm getting a bit bored with explaining over and again that I have given up drinking. It is obviously hard for them to believe

I think I would feel better Venus if my drinking was more in control as I would find things easier to deal with.

Its weird BB that you can say how you feel on here how you feel but put on a brave front in RL

I think guys are sometimes intimidated by tall women Thurso. I am 5 ft 10 and the number of times I have been on a date and the guy says 'oh you wore heels' - yep I wear them because I like them!

Well I'm only wee, but I can still intimdate guys

thurso - I sometimes feel that I have lost a part of me now that I am a mother, a wife and a carer.

I went on a wonderful night out with friends a few months back now. For that one night, even though I was always worrying about Nemo, I was Mouse.

I was me. Just for a few hours, I got to be Mouse and it felt amazing.

So thurso, I know how flat you must be feeling because you didn't get to be you tonight.

Is it worth grabing DH forcefully, looking him square in the eye, licking your lips and whisking him off to bed??

venus - that'll be the scot in you!!! Small but perfectly formed

Venus tall isn't a great thing actually, managed to mke me feel very bad between the age of 14 and 17! Still wore heels though, but don't now .

Bwanna Just say nothing, never explain, never apologise, as per Oscar Wilde.

Spent such a long time over this msg. DH has gone to bed. I feel very sad that I felt so boincy, and he didn't care realise it.

Much love xx

"boicny" sack me please !

They do keep asking though.

It is very hard to retain YOURSELF when the DC are little, but it does get better as they get older, look at JWN for inspiration!

thurso - that is utterly shit xx

I'M BACK x

Silver how did it go - you seem happy!

Mouse
yep, feel a bit sad about it, but probably he's tired (would think so, gone to bed, and snoring).

Half a bottle of shloer doesn't do a lot for sleepyness for me. Still will be bright in the morning.

How are you Silver?

What BBB said! How was it??

I SAID I'M BACK

Is there anyone out there................

oop sorry - x posted
