THE NEXT YEAR THREAD Jan 1st 2010

Aspy - what a great pressie for the little tacker and the still-to-be-hatched new one. A sober, sensible, fit dad. What could be better?

Rightyoh - (we warned you MrG ... ) ... when I last spoke to him on the blower he was really worried about his upcoming date with Paris. He really wanted it to be alright because Millsy had said such good things about her so he went to Edward Beale and had some "work" done on his hair. The Titian tints apparently stuffed up and his pate is now covered in stuff that looks alarmingly like Twisties. He wasn't happy it at all and to make things worse, he got a call from Government House about young Prince's Wills' visit today - he's supposed to play his ancient Celtic stringed instrument but at the last minute ....

BUGGERATION!!!! Visitors. Gotta go .

... Geoffrey said "No probs maaaate. I understand about love. Sh*t, pity about your hair. I'll give you the number of my bloke. He does a TOP job - look where it got me. The Babe just can't stop running her fingers through my luxuriant curls. Now what's with that dog-awful limp?"

Oh dear.

It seems Mr G was limping due to an unsuccessful ETI procedure. Geoffrey was furious!! "I run the best 24hr clinics in Australia with grand pianos and machines which dispense ristretto and macchiato and all sorts of lattes and you GO TO A place in St. Kilda above a tattoo parlour to have an Extreme Testicular Implant? I know you're trying to deflect attention from your Twistie-headed head to your twistie, - nah, unnecessary comment - your NETHER regions but jimminycricket, Mr. G. - pick your cllnic. We bulk bill, you know."

Well, haven't things progressed. I was just saying to Bridge on the phone that I really think ...


OOoops - visitors - gotta go ...

Thanks Sky, I did struggle like hell today... took kids to a restaurant and my tongue was practically on the floor.. (bottlo next door) dreaming of...
Anyhoo.. day nine done & dusted. Will take L-Glut beforehand next time!

OK, on with the next exciting episode.....

Evening all!
Well, last time i go to Ed Beale's for a makeover, and Geoff? well, he kept insisting on having a feel, so i've written them both off, and gave their private number's to Brendan Nelson.
I've spent the last couple of day's fishing with William. He was wanting to offload some stuff, and wanted to chat, so we did. Look, the kid's a boofhead, sure, but his heart's in the right place, and i just told him...'Ya mum would want you to just keep putting one foot in front of the other, chop wood, and carry water, that is all.'

Keep up the great effort all you wild crazy AF r's!

Well done Fick's. You know it's ALL in the mind. Therein lay's the key.

Ahhh thank you Mr G, delightful to see you recovered so quickly after your procedure!
I believe what I was doing is called 'urge surfing' or summat. Sucks for a short while... but it works!

Have a great day all!!

THE NEXT YEAR THREAD Jan 1st 2010

Thanks for advice

Morning all

I have a day off so I can actually post in peace and quiet, as kids still abed. Everytime anyone walks in the study i shut the screen down, they probably think i'm tuning in to porn!

Thanks for your posts after my last meltdown. Tawny you made a comment about " misery-guts posts" in the early days of NEXT YEAR threads when you were all drinking...and yes, it IS a no-brainer. I'm proof with a night of drinking and a misery-guts post!! So, negative thoughts ZAPP be gone - thanks Reggie for Dr Phil link, I've stuck it laminated by my bed ( how sad is that?!). I would have prefered George, but Bridget advises avoiding gorgeous male triggers because plainly they are my downfall. Personally, hairnet or not, he can 'take me down to the river' anytime.........

Gotta agree Zen, it is a hard row to hoe. How Fickle can handle Atkins AND no grog at the same time is nothing short of astounding to me. Impressive.

well, I see it's nearly 9 and here I sit....lots of things to do, house is horible, veggie patch needs weeding and I want to go for a run (more of a stumble, truth be known). Celebrated my son getting a Uni offer last night...and I was a good girl, laid off the champers. so, a new day and POSITIVE THOUGHTS..

have a good one folks.:thanks:

Morning Ficks and Jane and all to come,

Jane - my reference to "misery guts" was more general - like when we all first came to MWO, not just the Next Dayers. We all found this place in a mad moment of desperation so I find it delightful to see the change in people once they get the booze business sorted or at least having a damn good shot at it.

I guess life will continue to throw curlies at us - from major disasters to minor embuggerances and we've just got to learn to live with them without the added horror and self-loathing of a booze-filled gut and the resultant addled brain.

Congrats on the boy's Uni offer - you did real well to lay of the fizz.

Gorgeous day here - perfect in fact.

Vroooom ....
