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

Oh Sweet that is so lovely. What a kind friend Easter Smile

Hi Bafana, have a great Easter x

fevversbetterout · 03/04/2015 16:32

Nicola's gang could shunt (see Alias, I'm embracing your analogy re: locomotives, dirty or otherwise) UK a wee bit further left from Armageddon and false trickle down. But back to reality, Ma. How droolsome were those guys? And can you post rippling muscle pics?

SweetLathyrus · 03/04/2015 17:09

Fevvers! Where've you been? Are you ok?

aliasjoey · 03/04/2015 17:30

Am I being particularly thick because I did not understand one word of fevvers post Confused

Is it some kind of code? Perhaps to ask ma if she could source a military chap or two?

aliasjoey · 03/04/2015 17:31

Correction: I understood the part about rippling muscles and pics

Eggynuff · 03/04/2015 17:35

It was in reference to this Joey 'were they in uniform? ' and the political debate we were talking about yesterday.

SweetLathyrus · 03/04/2015 18:02

Nicola, leader of the SNP.

dementedma · 03/04/2015 18:15

Lol. No pics u fortunately but had broad shoulders to die for......he was testosterone in human form..could have slung me over his shoulder and carried me off for a good rogering any day.

SweetLathyrus · 03/04/2015 19:01

No doubt there then, Ma Easter Grin

aliasjoey · 03/04/2015 19:59

Oh I see - I tend to switch off when there's politics on! But I understood everything ma s just said - that's more my kind of language Grin

dementedma · 03/04/2015 20:22

alias oh yeah! Very very shaggable. Chances of it actually happening are non existant but one can dream.....

guggenheim · 03/04/2015 20:25

'lo there you lot.

Well,I'm not drinking and I meant to come here at 7 ish but i've spent my time looking at local history instead. Much more productive than several big glasses of red.

Think I'm just aiming at 2 af nights a week,life is still hard so I'm not aiming for perfection!

Oh and I did my meditation app thingy which I find hard because I have the attention span of a gnat.

Sooo anyone looking forward to Poldark tommoz? (tenuous link being rippling muscles)

SweetLathyrus · 03/04/2015 20:31

Guggs, I was just about to ask how you'd done. Raising a mint tea to you.

I can't do Poldark, not sure why, I did read the books in my teens, and liked Aiden whats-his-name in Being Human (that was him wasn't it?).

Ma, a girl can dream.

guggenheim · 03/04/2015 21:10

I'l see your mint tea and raise you some diet pepsi Smile

Oh yes,he was in being human and Desperate Romantics. I casually happen to know those facts. I don't remember Poldark from first time around,it's great for sunday night viewing.

Anyone doing anything nice for Easter then?

SweetLathyrus · 03/04/2015 22:04

DH and I are finally getting around to the erection greenhouse Easter Grin

aliasjoey · 03/04/2015 22:58

sweets are you gardening in the dark? Or is this more code?! Grin

SweetLathyrus · 04/04/2015 07:04

Joey no euphemisms, we really are putting the greenhouse up today.

Morning all, happy Saturday.

SweetLathyrus · 04/04/2015 08:14

I dropped my I-Pad on my foot. I may have uttered a few expletives. My foot is now vivid shades of blue, purple and red - must think how to accessorize - what colour nail varnish do you think would complement?

guggenheim · 04/04/2015 08:24

Green,obvs.

feeling much better after an af night. Sleep was a bit rubbish but that's a small price to pay!

Am off for a party- for my very elderly grandmother- so not much chance of all night dancing & drinking. That's a good thing Smile

Mini boing.can't remember the last af night I had.

Stellar67 · 04/04/2015 09:04

Morning! I survived! Played snap with the kids and then went to bed to read.SmileGrin

SweetLathyrus · 04/04/2015 09:21

I was thinking green, Gugs Easter Grin, well done to you and Stella for AF nights.

Hey indie
What gives?

fevversbetterout · 04/04/2015 14:14

Hi Sweet, I am fine thanks - just floating in and out (5 days AF, not last night obvs) I was going to apologise for being incoherent, but Eggy translated perfectly. I was being cyber-mauled by a very angry person re: the leaders debate and jumped on the runners to get away from her. And Ma's post re: the fit military blokies caught my interest, and I forgot all about bloomin politics.Smile Hope all are well. x

SweetLathyrus · 04/04/2015 14:25

You can't kiss and not tell, Isinde! Ma's military persons are very distracting, Fevvers.
