The One Before

And All Others Before That

So, this is The Brave Babes Battle Bus.

All are welcome, regardless of your background, stage of sobriety, or anything else.

I'm Mouse and have been here since June 2010, and in control of my drinking since August 2nd 2010.

You will find unconditional support here. Always.

Whatever you feel about drinking (or not), we've been in your shoes. Some more than once.

So, come say hi, come grab a seat. There is always an open door and a warm welcome on this Bus.

I've prepared dinner, and managed to wipe my hand, that had been chopping scotch bonnet chilies, across my face! Ouch!!

How are you Silver my lovely?

Hey Thurso - I'm OK - hanging in there and all that. x

Hey Silver xx

OUCH thurso, that bloody hurts.

Off to prep dinner here too, no scotch bonnets thank god!

- but don't spoil your tea lovely xx

sigh DH just phoned.....late again,
another dinner made, think I should shove the scotch bonnet where the sun don't shine.....

S'not fair, all you lot have a jolly time chatting all day while I have to go to work
It is great to see the bus so busy and boingy again, and I'm delighted to hear the news about our little Nemo.
Keep on chatting babes, my early evening catch up with all your news is so much more satisfying than a large glass of wine

thurso - here's an idea..... stop making him his dinner. Seriously, stop it. Why should you if it's going to be ruined?

Tell him that tomorrow night, if he decides to fecking work late, you need to know before you start dinner.

Or, tell him it's takeaway tomorrow night and he can collect it on his way home.

And, tell him he's a nobber from me for making this 2 nights on the run.

SEEEEEE! It all goes quiet when I get home

Awwwwwwwwwwwww, IsinDe - you made me cry happy tears. You are so, so lovely, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you xxxx

It means so much to me to be able to share the good times on here, you know? You guys are the best xxxx

Ok I'll let you off isindie you were obviously communing with your muse...

at Isindie's suggestion! that's brilliant.
Thurso can you tell him that you won't be in for dinner as you are eating out with a friend (even an imaginary one) so he can sort himself out when he comes home?
have to go and pick mad DD2 up from choir - now there's a loon. she is going to school tomoz in fancy dress as "something from the movies". she is going as an Avatar, painted blue. She is SUCH a dingbat what's the bet she uses something that won't come off and then will have the honour of performing the key solo for the lead soprano at the concert next week in front of several hundred people, looking like a fecking SMURF!!!

Isindie

Mouse I did say when he came in, that I'm not cooking tomorrow night.

The thing is, most nights he picks up DC2, but when DC is away, he takes the chance to work late.
I tried to explain that because it happens every time, it makes me feel way down his list of priorities, but got a look, in return.

And then, after I've massively gone on
said my bit, he looks so confused and tired (because he's been working 14 hrs), and puppylike, I feel soooo mean, and 7 isn't that late really. It's just the priciple of the thing.

We are on our own tomorrow night too, maybe what I should do is tell him in the morning that I'm doing a nice dinner, and he has to be home early. The fact that we are having some evenings on our own should mean that we can spend some time to get back on track, maybe remember what we used to be like?

He = DH
Can you tell I don't re-read anymore

thurso - tell him that, about the nice meal. It's Friday night, you've both worked hard all week, make a night of it. xx

I love you lot

thurso I feel your pain.
if you set up a nice special dinner for tomorrow is he going to want "afters"?
Dear God, how can it be the weekend again so soon....

Ma You really do know how I feel, don't you? xxxx
How lovely to be come on here and be understood. xxxx
Much love
Have good night's all.

You two thurso and Ma need sex stunt doubles

Right you lovely, lovely ladies and MIFLAW, I'm off to bed, four hours sleep is taking it's toll.

Night night Brave Babes. xx

And thurso - kick his arse if he pulls the same shit tomorrow night. Or threaten him with Ninja Mouse.

Hey Everyone.

In the nicest possible way - thurso and demented you are most definitely making me remember how much I appreciate being single at the moment

• gosh, single would be good A sex stunt double would be even better!!! DH on a sleepover tonight so house is peaceful, tidy, calm. Bed is empty and morning will be grope free.....wish it was always like this!!!

Single is OK, but I do miss the sex!! Think it's a grass is always greener thing . Just wonder how on earth I will ever meet anyone ever again without the social lubrication of alcohol.
However that is the very very least of my problems and I am absolutely not going to project on that!! .

Right - off to bed, all housework done, and bugger all on telly.

Sleep tight BB's

Morning loveley babes and lovely boybabe,

And so.....now I know....

I went to bed at 10ish last night, and asked him if he'd be long...no, he was just going to watch 15 minutes of the cricket. 12.30, he eventually came up, I asked if he'd fallen asleep, but he said, "no, watching cricket".

Early hours this morning (probably when you were up Indie) Dh reached over and got hold of me, said "I Love You, so much"...and his tears were splashing on my face.

It turns out that work has been getting him down again, and this week it has all escalated. He felt so bad, and was so exhausted last night that he didn't want me to see him almost pass out cold asleep. All the symptoms again, you babes who remember.

I asked why he didn't tell me straight away, and he thought he could "get over it"....same old, same old..., he thinks it will be ok if he can talk it through with me, but no, if that worked it wouldn't keep on happening.

He said that he couldn't go to the Dr's this morning because he had a conference call set up for 9am, but has promised to phone for an appointment. I just think he needs to go back on the AD's and stay on them for quite a while. I know he doesn't like how they affect him in some ways, but even so.

He needs to get back on an even keel, and then I will try to persuade him to ditch the job. I started doing all this training so that if that eventuality should arise, I could earn more, so we would be ok.

Poor, poor man, my heart breaks for him.

I have to go to college now, but thank you so much for listening, no-one else I can tell.

Much love
xxxx

P.S I hope you all had good nights, and enjoy your mornings. So sorry for this long, me, post.

PPS. Thank the F* I'm sober
