The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Shaping Up For A Super, Sober Summer!

[Mouseface]

Hey, I'm Mouse

This is 'Gerald', our trustworthy, non judgemental Bus, full of a variety of posters who have travelled long and far, or even just joined us a few stops ago.

This is a place where you can be who YOU want to be. 24/7, 365. This lovely place is just like your best friend, there's no slagging off, no judging, just us.

Drinking or not, embarrassed, fed up of the way things are, or just lonely of living the way drinking makes you do, come and take a peek and see what you think.....

THIS THE LAST THREAD WE HAD

AND THIS IS WHERE THE BUS WAS BUILT, WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

We can't wait to meet you, we won't bite! Well, unless you ask very nicely.

Take good care until we see you. :) xx

Oh faire you poor thing, you must feel completely devastated to lose them both so close together. . Sending lots of love to you xx

Oh Faire how desperately sad. Your poor dad, and poor you. I am so sorry my love. This must be dreadful for you. I hope you have tons of support in RL. Sending you tremendous amounts of love xxx

Oh faire I have no words. Anything I could say would be trite.
Thinking of you.

alias my teenaged nephew was prescribed antibiotics and he told the doctor that he couldn't swallow tablets (thinking that he would get something liquid like calpol). Dr said that is fine, I'll give you a suppository. Funnily enough nephew found he could swallow tablets after all

Oh Faire that is so tough. My parents died close together, but it was a few months between, and I felt unbelievably shocked. I echo the sentiments of our other babes xx

Hi all,

joey you are a saint . Hope dd managed to swallow her tablets, perhaps the suppository suggestion would help her along! venus, that was inspired

isinde day 4 flower? Did you beat the lure of the cobwebby shed once more

Spanna are you still watching the tennis peanut? Sending a big squeeze your way

Khalis. Great news on the money, just don't go spending it ALL on new shoes!

Ma I think the garden party dress is perfect too.

Guggs. Sorry things went tits up this week lovely, but I must say your sober Worzel head looks fine indeed!

Sweet come and say hi, we miss you. X

Wishing all of you all a good Saturday, whatever you are doing. I am soccer mum this morning, deck labourer this afternoon and smiling shop worker this evening. Cup of tea in bed first though

never has a day 4 flower looked so gorgeous! Well done isinde

Looking good indie and you have gorgeous auburn curls!
Got shoes and bag today and have given up on the hat, so ready to meet Queenie on Wednesday bare headed.
Dh is being a wank badger today so he is on Facebook and I am on MN and never the twain shall meet. Fucking twat!!!!!!

Hope all babes are having a good Saturday. I'm in the midst of an office move (swapping my home office to another room) and I've got to the worst stage. I have done the easy things - the things I know I want to keep and where they will go. The millions and millions of bits of paper that are of no more use or no longer of interest - all gone to the recycling centre. And I'm left with the messy stuff - not yet ready to throw out but no where to keep it. And it is all dusty and covered in stoor.

But as part of the move I will (at last) have a wee space for my keyboard - the electronic piano type, not the computer type - and that will be good.

And I just saw Which of the babes with dogs can match that?

Lol *Venus".
Not had a great day but nearly bed time.
Another night of hot flushes awaits......

They do disappear - eventually, and then you will forget that they ever really happened. Except that I still sleep in a bedroom that is the temperature of an igloo (and often with my legs out of the covers). If I had known at age 35 all the pain and mess and horror that was to come I'd have got everything taken out then. In my mid-40's when it was offered to me as an option I thought that it was a medical risk not worth taking when everything would come to a natural end anyway soon... Except it wasn't soon, and it got worse. But my hope is that I have finally reached the end, and that now I'm 54 I will NOT, not, not have another period. Ever.

Well done indie
Horrible night of sweats and feel very low. Today's fun includes visiting dad in the care home, emptying out his house and trying to de-clutter my own place at some point. On the plus side I didn't give in to dh's pressure and he has gone off to Glasgow to the football on his own which gives me quite a few hours of freedom.
Ds has just arrived in the bed next to me and I was tousling his hair, holding his hand and generally teasing him and he complained and said ' I bet you don't do all that to dad when he's in the bed" and it just suddenly mde me want to cry with the realisation that I no longer have the kind of relationship with dh where that kind of fun exists, and I will probably never have it with any other man either.....and now I can't see to type....

Oh Jesus, Faire

I'm so sorry my love.

No words. X

faire I'm so terribly sorry for your loss, I hope you have all the support you need.

Babes, I know I have still got babes to NC from Friday, will catch up later xxxx

Just want to send my thoughts and prayers to 'Faire'. I wish you all the strength you need at this sad time in your life xx

Nuff I'm so sorry for your loss, words fail me Sending you loads of hugs and strength. You have so much on your plate and are probably in 'auto-drive'. Wishing you courage and love xxx

Jesus wept at the cross. Oh Faire, buttercup. I'm so very, very sorry.
Many hugs, darling babe.

Hey babes,

So, I had a really very tough run today (six serious hills, 10k). Now NF wanted to come along. But then it was too much for him and he was in a right foul mood afterwards.
Really, it is easy to run with me, if one doesn't have a huge ego. I go back (which I need to do in training as well) and get the slower person and have no problem stopping for them to catch their breath. Only he thought he was so good by now (to be fair he is, on our other route). But he had to realise that obviously he's nowhere near me. But that is not my fault, is it?
Although I am very competitive I know that running, you really have to compete against yourself, more than anything. I honestly do not give a fiddler's fart who runs faster and I. As long as I can improve on my running, I feel good.
Does this make me selfish?

Hope you're all having a good Sunday, Babes.

fairie I'm so sorry to hear your news- what a terrible shock.Am thinking of you and yours x

Five days!
