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

So glad your little boy is home and making a good recovery Mouse. Australian cricket team Kot? Me and a mate spent the night with the goalie and centre forward of Brentford FC many moons ago. I remember mine having very big hands :)

Is anyone going out tonight? What's happening about your date Purple?

We need the gory details Kot :)

I want Olympic sex also, wish I knew where it was in France!!!!!

Tea?

What.

Just... wha...?

BUT WHAT DID SHE SAY!!!!!!??????

Not that I'm likely to be in the situation where I need to know what the warning signs are... but... presumably what was offered was quite substantially different?

kot we need ALL the gory details and we need them NOW!
Welcome home mouse and nemo
Does this mean no more tube feeds?
Still haven't found the mouse in the house.....he seems to have disappeared.
Had a fabulous massage tonight with the fabulous Derek.....am a drooling puddle of lavender-scented mush.

Isn't it just amazing the journey this bus takes us x

How are you doing, Baby, still on the sobrietetetety thing tonight?

Ma, this isn't a facetious question, honest, but massages - what do you ask for? I had one on holiday once and it feckin' hurt; she said she was trying to lift my muscles apart . A friend of mine had a deep-muscle something or other and said she wept like a baby all day afterwards for no reason she could understand. So do you just go in and firmly say you want a lavender-mush type massage, or is there more to it than that?

I wasn't happy, Kotinka

Right, drinking question. Any tips for going to bed? My normal routine is to say fag-then-bed, one-last-glass while I smoke it. And then I trot off happily enough. But what do you use as your triggering go to bed routine when you don't do those things? I need to find something as I just feel a bit lost and aimless around bed time at the minute.

God yes, reading in bed. Strangely though, I've been too tired since I stopped drinking - I now get into bed, light off, gone... It's more the getting to bed in the first place that feels all, sort of, unstructured iykwim?

clean teeth, take pills, let the dog out, pretend to do some pilates stretches while he's out, let him in, wipe his bits (yes, honestly. is this the sort of detail you're after?) he sleeps on the bed, you see

do a sudoku or read, slap on some handcream, turn out the light and... lie awake for 2 hours

I do have some relaxation podcasts to listen to which help.

leucan deep tissue PR Swedish massages can be very painful. Ask for a light aromatherapy massage for relaxation. This place I have found is amazing - the minute you walk in the door you feel safe and relaxed. You can unburden yourself of whats bothering you to this lovely man while his strong warm hands do their thing and he listens and seems to really care. Mind you today he had me in fits of giggles telling me about the Christmas he bought his partner a "naughty" present for a laugh. He would only tell me it was called a "rude boy" and took batteries. He wrapped it and then mixed the presents up and gave it to his mother by mistake. I nearly fell off the massage table laughing.
