joey your wee dog is gorgeous! And huge congratulations on your husband's promotion, you must both be thrilled! Look at how you handled it though, that was a promotion for you too, a right win-win! Re the built in menopausal central heating, have you tried something called a Chillow pillow? It was so good for me I bought one for the dog too.
You made me have a think, and at the weekend as well! You are right! What does feeling like a drink actually mean?
I feel like I have a knot, or a lump I can't swallow. A hard bubble of tense somewhere that feels like nothing else. On the odd occasion it is terror, a real fight or flight feeling where I am desperate beyond belief. On the day I joined this bus, I was petrified. To the point I almost stepped in front of one of the massive great lorries that speed past the bus stop just to stop that feeling. It was all-consuming and so, so scary.
With the first swallow of wine it is relieved. It's like it unknots everything. Nothing tastes like that first sip, I lie, it's not a sip. Definitely a swig or a gulp. I should stop then, nothing feels like that first one. When I carry on it's almost like I'm trying to replicate that first feeling of relief, but nothing does so it's a case of carrying on until I can't feel anything.
But that's a lie to myself too, because I have to bypass self-loathing, sadness, regret, despair and guilt to get to the numb stage. That's what it feels like for me. In hindsight, there's no happy about my drinking any more.
When I was younger, I loved to go out dancing, all dressed up with a cocktail or two. I felt happy and carefree. Why and when did my relationship with alcohol change?
Wooo. That was a fab question joey, thank you, 
xx
elba wow, what a view! Your typo made me smile 
Have a wonderful day, enjoy it, you will look lovely in your new dress! Catch ye later bonny lass, check in when you can, xx
ma no envy for your shopping trip from this corner. There was nothing more peeving for my mam when I was wee. Granted, our academy only let us shop from one shop but that combination of skirt, blouse, socks and blazer was so important to get right. You do what you need to to get through it quine, good luck! xx
Today I shall be shopping for beef bones to make the Bairn's beef tea and doing the toner thing on my hair. Jane Eyre is on later, the one with Ciaran Hinds, I like him.
I really need a detoxy weekend with fruit and veg smoothies, feel like I need a boost. Some ginger or something. In reality I will probably buy butteries or croissants... 
I feel so fat and sluggish. Must do something about that.
Hope everyone is having a fine Saturday so far, catch ye later taters, x
