The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Blowing Away The Cobwebs, Brushing Up The Leaves, Whilst Travelling On The Battle Bus, To Our Own Sobrieties.

[Mouseface]

Hello I'm Mouse

Welcome to the Brave Babes Battle Bus, aka Gerald. It's a lovely place for drinkers, non-drinkers, wobblers and thinkers...... we're a really mixed bunch who all have one thing in common, alcohol.

Whether that be past or present, it can always be our future due to the nature of the beast.

Everyone can join this thread, the support is unconditional. And it is here for anyone who wants it, now or in a little while, there's always a spare seat or three!

Why not take a look at the journeys so far at the link below, it'll take you back through the last two (plus) years, and also I've posted a link to the very first thread....... the reason that we are all on the Bus in the first place

FIRST EVER THREAD

Loving the dog theme. Mine's a Jack Russell who looks like he's been crossed with a bat because he has huge pointy ears. His name is Alfie and I love him beyond reason :) Purple I quite enjoy the nights when DD's with her dad too. There's something so decadent about getting into PJs before it's even dark! Funny, 3pm is my danger time too...

Sleep well everyone, tomorrow is another day Green.

Incredibly neurotic cocker spaniel here. Even more demanding and velcro-like since a recent bout of pancreatitis. Now she wants to be in physical contact with you at all times unless running hell for leather through the woods, following her nose.

I can hear frogs croaking in my garden pond!

I love frogs Golden!

at goldensummer's 'in physical contact at all time' cocker. I have a pointy hound who's lovely. She sleeps in a basket overnight which is great. Except when she doesn't.
Then she comes and looks at me, then whimpers in my face, then gently nudges me, then barks.
I encourage her to get onto the bed when I get into it now.
Off to the dentist again as my sinus is exposed. Taking the maximum otc pain relief carefully, and grateful that I'm not dealing with anything less straightforward than a tooth.

Ah, hope you feel better soon Isinde x

Happy Hump Day babes

Hi all- can I come back on board and lurk for a bit? Dh is away working at the moment, last night I broke the no weeknight drinking rule (out at organised drinks so not too dreadful), and I want to avoid going back down the slippery slope of white wine in the evenings.....

helpyourself your sinus is exposed? what?! that sounds horrible, whatever it is...

another sleepless night, despite taking a phenrrgan. told my work i have a stomach bug because i was too embarrassed to say the real reason. am going to have to quit prozac.

Help yourself I can empathise, I had the tooth behind the one you're talking about, taken out last year. I had the post of an implant put in last week (most recent step in a process involving a sinus lift and a "grow a bit more bone" procedure, so eating on one side and feeling sorry for myself. I expect the remedy for sinus exposure is similar to the bone growing thing?

koti I know its only been a few days, but it seems like the worst drug to give someone whose main issue is sleep problems...

legalalien morning and welcome

Welcome legal and sympathies from a fellow tooth sufferer.
I'm feeling pretty grotty with pain, antibiotics and general 'woe is me' from the whole saga.
I am also extremely grateful that I didn't add a bottle of chilled white wine to the mix last night or an anaesthetising glass of whiskey this morning.
ma how is your brother? And your throat?

Hi All - Joey - speak to your doc first please - Feeling a little more upbeat here I have been to see my psyche to discuss my ADHD diagnosis - we have agreed I had an adverse reaction to the drugs so I'm to start on something new in a couple of weeks - behave similarly to an Antidepressent and will probably have a few weeks of side effects to contend with including sleep problems so I'll probably be joining you on here in the middle of the night Joey :) He is writing to my GP to see if they will prescribe as too expensive privately - hope GP agrees and I have more luck with these or that's probably the end of the line for me with meds (for ADHD anyway) Hope all have a good day today and not too much toothache sounds awful), will try and stay away from the fridge tonight - I am not going to buy alcohol with the shop anymore as I can't seem to not drink when it's in the fridge. xx

Kotinka - my plan tonight will be straight to bed after my son has gone to bed - I can read or work on my laptop - I'm usually okay if I'm not downstairs - nice warm drink and PJs - might even go in the nice decorated spare bedroom to make myself feel better! Docs this afternoon to discuss some "embarrassing" problems and my sinusitus - it's all going on! Oh where has my young body and mind gone to and why didn't I appreciate it at the time.. It's true what they say - youth is wasted on the young

That's tough Kotinka, more minor irritations here today, piles and stress incontinence - oh the glamour :) I should buy shares in tena lady - Sorry babes - Too much information!!

Afternoon, tis me, Mouse

Just quickly - Purple Is it possible to have a little distance from her, just for a while until you feel physically stronger?

there is a 1.5hr drive between us as it is! Seriously, she has nothing better to do than help and need to be needed by me because I am nothing like the sister who lives 15 mins away and still almost lives at my parent's house with her brood of children.....

I'm contemplating a trip to the moon for a while, just til after the Santa Swap in early December when we all meet at 'mothers' to swap gifts.......

I'm filled with dread already. Thank Jeff for diazepam!

Sorry not to catch up, crazy day, week actually! xx
