Have a terrific Thursday catch you all later.

This weather Foxy will test us as we are used to sun /fun / drink
Take your AB - then no need to 'think' any more ! :thumbsup:

PP - enjoy yer last day before yer well deserved break. The thing about working as a nurse or a doc, as i see it, is that it is not just one of the most demanding jobs there is (along with a whole host others, but it is particularly demanding) but also that it is emotionally demanding too. I'm a layman, but just even parking me arse watching 24hrs in A&E makes me think - jeezus, i'd be banjaxed after a morning, let alone 20 years in the job.

HERE HERE !!!! :goodjob:

Jacks? I hope everything went well at the funeral? it will have been bittersweet for sure? :l:l:l

Sweety? Nice one on the two weeks orf! Aren?t you going to see Mumford this weekend? Or did I remember that wrong. I know you?re orf to the Big Smoke? buy me summat noice at Harrods! After a quick squizz back at yesterdays, two words for yer feet... epsom salts.

I'm having a bugger of a time with racoons in my back yard. They're taking the mangoes off the tree and bringing them onto the deck to eat and it's a bombsite out there in the mornings. Just washed the deck off AGAIN and the fellow on the riding lawn mower comes along and covers it in bits of grass FFS...

Heading up to Marshalls for the last of me Ma's shopping then will post it all off. The postage will prolly cost as much as the gear.

I'm going on a "girls" night out tonight... to this place!

A little check in with some major news: details are having to be finalized but it looks like my move is permanent - my mother won't see sense and it's been agreed with my fiances family I need to be safe. I will be hopefully arranging for this to happen over the coming week, but obviously this whole situation is a massive upheaval and really quite upsetting. I am unlikely to be around with any gret frequency over the coming weeks. hope alls well

sending JC my best for the funeral, hope all went as well as possible

Ah Inchy:l Sorry to hear that yer Mam aint being supportive. Your safety is the most important thing though and Im glad that yer fianc? and his family are giving you that shelter and support. I can only imagine though how upsetting the whole thing is for you:l
Apologies as this may be totally out of order on my part but methinks you're far better off away from your family at present.

Stay safe and take care, thoughts are with you and don't forget we care about you here xx

Hey Foxy Those drinking thoughts are never far away eh? I do think with this weather, bbq's, beer gardens etc... the drink is more in yer face as such and I know for me it is a tad difficult watching others partake and enjoy a few cold ones whilst I abstain, but then I remember why I choose to abstain!! I cant enjoy just a 'few'!!
Also think it shows progress when we are aware of the thoughts now- instead of just being on 'automatic pilot' and rushing to down our drink of choice we can view those thoughts simply for what they are - just 'thoughts'. Hope ye can get to a meeting if they help you, or come here and just type out your thoughts:l

Sorry your mum isn't being very helpful inchy, but I think you're doing absolutely the right thing under the circumstances. Do what you have to do to be safe. I completely agree with peapie and satzy's comments. Keep in touch when you're able to. :l

Noooo...still too hot! My clock/thermometer thingummy says it's still 29 degrees indoors, so I may have to go outside to cool off for a while.

Bet you're pleased to be off for a whole fortnight! How long is your working week? You seem to put in a heck of a lot of hours. And when're you setting off to London?

Evening all.

You know my lovely, Incheroo, we're never far away. So post when you can and keep us updated.

Wonderful ceremony, but crikey we didn't half laugh and didn't half cry. It was standing room only and some people had to stand outside. Never seen that before.
Music was Love me Tender (Elvis), Time to Say Goodbye (Pavorotti) and the final song.
