The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Sweeping Into Autumn With A One Way Ticket To Sobriety.

[Mouseface]

Phew, just in time!

I'm mouse and I love a few to drink. I love all things cheese and I love MrMouse

Welcome to the Bus. We are a collection of drinkers, non-drinkers, and those who are somewhere in between but we all have the same thing in common, we can't just have 1 drink and then stop.

Come say hi, we don't bite .

Here are the other threads to date, if you have a spare hour or seven to kill.

OUR HISTORY

Any non-intellectual Babes out there want to chat? JWN, let's talk shoes

Ah, I'll admit defeat and slope up to bed x

Morning Babes,

I'm feeling a bit better, not great, but, going to work today, as it's easier than not going, and trying to re-arrange everything.

Thank you for all your kind thoughts.

I hope you all have a good day.

Much love
xxxxx

Hump day am I missing something?

otherwise known as 'the peak of the week'

gin ?

Freudian slip

Morning everyone, feeling a bit brighter today, braved the elements yesterday evening and went for a long walk.

Morning SAF, the wind definitely blew some of blue feelings away

Morning everyone

Didn't drink that much again last night so feel a bit better this morning although I was awake alot in the night trying to work out if its worth getting together with XP or not. Unfortunately the love of my life also is too insensitive and knows how to upset me although generally he is much better. Can a leopard every change its spots?

Problem with me SAF is I didn't plant any seeds nor have I done for many years, but as you say never too late to start
Now you can't just make a statement about putting acorns in a bowl near the door and not tell me why ....

Morning all

Well the wind has certainly blown away the cobwebs here as well!!
Went out running again this morning, although I am not sure the GPS thing on my phone is working, because it says that I ran/walked over 4miles - in 30 mins really am not sure that that is the case - although am hoping that I have burned the 295 cals that it thinks I used.

At work again, although last day today - my friend arrives from SA tomorrow so looking forward to seeing her.
We are definitely drinking buds of old. But she knows that I am in AA, so I am sure that she will be really supportive.

Also had a meeting today, about the current nightmare scenario at work, and it looks as though it will be resolved in the near future - so I just need to keep my positive head on!

Thanks all for the positive comments about me and my parenting, spoke to another friend about it, and also had a long chat with DD again last night. Patience is definitely something that I need to work on on a daily basis. But DD and me are good again.

Thurso sending virtual Chicken Soup - it's horrible when you are not well, but I know the feeling of dragging yourself in coz it is the easier option!

obrig glad that the blue mood is lifting

indie you are sounding so much more positive these last couple of weeks, a combination of DT's sleeping and not drinking??

zany in my experience - a leopard never changes it's spots, although they can camoflage them well for a period of time. There is a reason that this man is an ex! You need to remember that. Whilst expending emotional energy on this man, you are not putting you first, or leaving yourself available to someone who will treat you right. A relationship shouldn't be this much angst and work right at the very very beginning, and the fact that you are mulling it over means that something in your head is telling you that it might not be right. Listen to your instincts honey! I have made the mistake in the past of not listening to them, because being with the wrong man was better than not being with someone at all.
Slowly I am learning - that actually - i love myself a little more than that.
The song - "If you can't be with the one you love - love the one your with" is wrong imo.

Right - that turned into a marathon

Hope all is well with the other BB's
Love

Zany, think Bafana sums up my thoughts re you getting back together with XP, if thoughts of this happening are keeping you awake at night then signs are you shouldn't.

Thanks saf you are sounding pretty positive yourself .

I thought that an acorn in each corner of the room also kept away spiders!
Think a long country walk is in order, you have put me in the mood to see the world changing around me.

When I read your earlier post SAF, my exact thoughts were that no wonder I am feeling so stuck/stagnant. Going to take scenic route back to work at lunchtime (trees aplenty there) and see if I can find any acorns, one for my pocket and some for the house .

Just checking in. No humping for me (DP away) oh well. I also actually get my hump fnar fnar on a Tues night as I don't do (paid) work on a Friday.

legal - I can imagine not so much in that area, but that what you find it interesting.

Did not drink last night, though really wanted to.

I will not drink tonight even though DP is away and I have the ordeal of making helping boys make exhibits for school's 'village show'

1. best dressed potato: I we are going to pander to DS's moshi monster obsession and make a Diabolo (?sp) Mashy Monster
2. garden on a plate WTF?? I we are going to make soil from chocolate + ricecrispies mix then conjure up plants and flowers from odds and sods in craft box and stick in with lethal needles and pins cocktail sticks

Dead impressed with poorly babes who don't drink their way through bad colds - that will be a big challenge for me when it happens to my new bus riding self.

shoes - I am a total convert to Merrel's sandals and mary janes, have to look up what they do for winter wear besides trainers. For years I deprived myself of Merrels then I got a permanent contract and went mad on Zavari.

Thanks Bafana and Obrigada am definately in a muddle with regards to what to do and would definately rather be on my own than with him and unhappy. I do realise now that some of the fault lies with me as I get upset and emotional at things he says that wouldn't bother me in a different relationship. Have tried to talk to him about how I feel but with no luck. Will have a bit of a break from him and see how things are I think
