The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Shaking Off The Winter Blues And Getting Out Our Booze Free Summer Shoes!

Hello, tis me, Mouse

Welcome to the Bus. It's a Bus full of drinkers, non-drinkers, occasional slurpers, sneaky sippers, we're all a very different bunch but we ALL have the same thing in common.

Alcohol.

We all have a story or two to tell, we have all been through some terrible times, some more than others and we all have our reasons for drinking or even not. Smile

The one true wonderful thing about this Bus is that we don't do judging!! We're all on a even playing field, no matter what has brought us to this thread.

So, if you'd like to talk, then talk. If you want to lurk and see how we work for a while, that's cool too :)

The Bus is never full, there's always is room for YOU.

And, if you'd like to see what started this off, amost good 5 years ago now, have a look at A TRULY AWESOME HEARTFELT THEAD HERE

And our last thread is just here too for those who would like some more history THIS IS WHERE WE'VE JUST BEEN

Hope to see you soon :) xxx

Sticks foot out to trip Indie up.
Oh dear, did you hurt yourself?

I may be ancient but I'm the one getting up close and personal with luscious chaps in uniforms....

Fairenuff · 22/04/2015 20:04

You mean you're not purple both ends then ma?

aliasjoey · 22/04/2015 20:06

isinde if you're going to dance about like that I hope you've been doing your pelvic floor exercises Grin

Well this has been weird... On the very same day that the GP informs me I'm perimenopausal - DD has just started her periods! Isn't that a strange coincidence?

It's like one chapter closes, another one opens. It's the Circle of Life all over again. But without the hyenas...

dementedma · 22/04/2015 20:08

No matching collar and cuffs here faire
Well, it would be if I left it all to go back to nature shudder

You are sounding chipper indie . When are you next coming to Scotland to murder some wildlife see me?

HandsThatDoDishes · 22/04/2015 20:42

Isinde Grin

I'm late 60's so not the oldest! DD's come home with sodding nits (only been back at school 3 days!) At least that's given me something to do this evening!

dementedma · 22/04/2015 20:45

hands if you are in your late 60s then you probably are the oldest
I thin Venus is the most venerable on here. She lives in an old folks home and dribbles a lot.

SoberMummy · 22/04/2015 20:49

I'm 1969! Loved Trumpton and Camberwick Green. Good old Windy Miller. On the subject of chins and pubes (the bus really does cover everything!) I've been using some of my old wine money on 'grooming' which I haven't bothered with much for years... 52 days sober today - yay! If you haven't already done it, please do check out my blog www.mummywasasecretdrinker.blogspot.com Onwards and upwards x

HandsThatDoDishes · 22/04/2015 21:04

No I just look like I'm in my late 60's! Sobermummy I tried leaving a comment on your blog but it wouldn't let me. I get a bit bamboozled by all this technology malarkey. Well done on reaching day 52 Smile.

Thanks guys! Must have a glass of bubbly to celebrate! Oh - oops - best not Grin

Morning ladies. DS rang at midnight as his gf was sobbing and he didn't know what to do. Pregnancy isn't ectopic but I think they have decided not to go ahead with it as they are not in a position to become parents yet. However gf is feeling understandably upset and emotional about it. It's not as if they weren't using precautions. Were going to see them at the weekend. Its a horrible situation Sad. Sorry to be so down. At least it's another lovely day. I'm going to go on a very long walk with daft dog. Have a great day babes xx
