[MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION] - Rosie loves every squeaky toy she gets. She will bounce it around till she gets it to squeak then chews it till it's dead.
So I'm buying new ones all the time.

Morning,
Just peeked out the kitchen window and its snowing.......big fat flakes lying on the ground type snow.....

:hyper: love snow.



[MENTION=9170]byebyebridgetjones[/MENTION] - so your Weightwatchers group are discussing alcoholism? That was very brave of her. What did the others say ?

Where's mine? :stompy2: I want snow. I want a SNOW-DAY! (Tho... if my teaching union votes for a strike, I'll get a day 'off' in March). (Unpaid mind you.)

Just a thursday here. Off to my folks this weekend to celebrate my aunt's 70th. Friday tomorrow. Bet you never knew that, til i wrote "friday tomorrow".

JC - 25th Feb for a Kit hen. Good good. Something to look forward to (once its in).

Hello Doc, Bridgey, Rusty, Mary, starty, stirly, tabbers... off to prep classes for tomorrow.

I've had a gyppy tummy all day. Necessitating a long nanna nap and a take-out curry tonight.

[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]..........its Rosie's inner wolf coming out.

Re: January 2019 Army Manoeuvres

Evening all

What colour is your kitchen going to be jax? Bet it will look fab

Rustop, what do you do for 2 days? is it 2 full days? I really cannot wait. Slight hitch but the girl who was offered the share doesnt really want it, she wants her old job back but they told her she cant have it. She has to either share mine or go full time :egad: bit harsh I thought poor thing. Anyhoo, had a chat with her last night and she is quite upset. I tried to sell it to her a bit but will see.

Also booked a few days away by the seaside in Feb. A tiny little cottage that backs onto the sand dunes. Will do us the world of good as we have been working far too hard

Love the idea of addiciton being discussed on a weightloss board and yes, brave of her.

Rosie sounds a bundle of joy :heartbeat:

Re: January 2019 Army Manoeuvres

[MENTION=22456]starty[/MENTION] - your wee hols in a cottage by the sea sounds soooo idyllic

Enjoy it. That's an order!

Re: January 2019 Army Manoeuvres

Any news on the kittens Mary? You know in Norway nearly impossible to find, you need a license to breed, my daughter was half thinking of bringing one over from here but they managed to get a rescue.

The busyness of school and other stuff has kicked back in, so its not as urgent now! If they can hold on another little while it will be a better season for kittens. Did not know that about Norway..
[MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION], you'll be sorted by the end of feb!! Thats v exciting. Hope its nothing too serious about your dad in law..

Friday tomorrow. Bet you never knew that, til i wrote "friday tomorrow".

I am enlightened.

Interesting about the thread on WW bridge. Whats the chat like on that thread, supportive? me too? yep, its a fecking epidemic..

Planets are starting to align [MENTION=22456]starty[/MENTION]..Tried to work from home twice this week, but its not happening, always some mini drama or 2 here. Id happily do your 2 days if you could figure that one out!

[JackieClaire]

Re: January 2019 Army Manoeuvres

[MENTION=22456]starty[/MENTION]........its Glenco Larch for the cupboards and Zenith slate for the worktops.........in English..........cream cupboards and dark grey worktops.
Got a pang of jealousy about your February break. Proper fires and no guilt if you stay inside.
We've got a wee break in May up just over the border in Scotland.

[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION]....yep with any luck all over but the shouting by the end of Feb.

Nighty night, loverlies. :hug:

Re: January 2019 Army Manoeuvres

Just popping in from the future to let you know that all is well.

Re the Weight Watchers board - it was astonishing. Not one single 'Just have one or two' or 'Why can't you just stop?'. Nothing but support and non-judgement. There was a lot of 'Thank you so much for this. I think I might have a problem too' One young girl who was really worried about her Mum's drinking and begged her to stop in tears. I was bawling my eyes out reading it. Not one single negative comment. An extremely positive forum in general. Once in a while someone will arc up and they are quickly and reasonably put back in their place. Anyway, the best news is that they are all giving booze the boot in a little challenge. So proud.

Interesting point Arsy and Starty re the 'wanting to feel better' thing. Loads of ways to do that without drinking but our boozey druggy brains always try to convince us that there is only one way to feel better....liar.

Re: January 2019 Army Manoeuvres

Good morning everyone and a horrible one it is, none of the white stuff but the rain is back. Lucky you JC getting your kitchen, enjoy. I had planned some nice inside stuff but now gutters, slates all sort of things on the roof need doing so the budget is going on that. ThatÂ’s amazing Bridget but great that people can talk about it. Lucky you Starty enjoy. I am doing a job share. It was originally the other girls job and she does 3 days a week. ItÂ’s reception/admin, nothing too taxing but gets me out of the house and meeting people. We work very well together and have the same work ethos so that helps. Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Re: January 2019 Army Manoeuvres

Morning,
-2C this morning........heading to the giddy heights of 5C. I can't get any more clothes on. PTL for thermal vests.
The curry was just the thing to settle my tummy.
byebyebridgetjones.......I'm full of admiration for that woman. Took a lot of guts to type that out.
Off now to walk across the frozen tundra to work.

[RunningCourage]

Re: January 2019 Army Manoeuvres

Evening troops. Friday at last. Get 'em Crunchie bars out :yay:

Yes, JC, have had me thermal vest on the past two days. Am a scrooge (growing up in Aberdeen did it for me) and rarely ever put my heating on. Thankfully being on the second floor I get the heat from the lower flats. Would only put it on if I had visitors (about once a blue moon).

With folks and me aunt to celebrate her 70th - repeating myself, i know - plan is to say that as i've this bugger of a marathon next weekend am off the drink. Hope it works.

Off to veg with netflix and pretzels. Have a good evening all

Re: January 2019 Army Manoeuvres

Got no crunchies but a big bag of Revels.
[MENTION=18049]RunningCourage[/MENTION].......sounds like my wee flat I bought after my first marriage went up the spout. I was so scared of what the electricity bill was going to be I basically had a hot water bottle strapped to me most of the time. I thought I was being clever buying on the third floor and getting downstairs residual heat..........didn't work out like that.
Search is now on for a pair of boots. We're going to a winter wedding in a couple of weeks. Trouble is all the spring stuff is in the shops.

I'm hoovering over a pair on asos.com - loads on there. Could be May before they are put retired for the summer, so I might bite the bullet.. theyre about a weeks worth of wine.. justification complete.

I wouldn't last very long at yours RC!! Stove blasting here since 2 :radiate:

Always some job to do Rustop.. Still, I like all the planning..
