lots of opinions, but I recommend reading the pamflet on sponsorship...and understand before you choose. maybe go over it with someone you think you might be interested in

or maybe

Problem is, the person I want to sponsor me is a man! And that's not allowed. But that's who I feel comfortable with. Nothing sexual, he is like a father figure to me.

Oh well, it'll happen when the time is right. Thanx for that nands, sometimes I feel I should be getting a sponsor, but things are kind of good with the drinking side of things at the moment, and that was the really destructive side of things for me.

If it aint broke, don't fix it - that's my philosphy!

ananda · 12-01-2008, 04:25 PM

lots of us around here don't follow the SUGGESTION of no opposite sex sponsorship.....

I don't trust men, so I could nver sponsor one...but maybe I'll get better in time

lostbutterfly · 12-01-2008, 04:52 PM

It's not a suggestion in our group, it's an order, lol!! Oversexed in this part of the country - it's all the rain!

lostbutterfly · 12-01-2008, 05:06 PM

Night, night Class of November! Be good, esp. nands and wibble!

colagirl · 12-01-2008, 10:02 PM

Hi everybody,
I've arrived at my lovely business trip destination. I'm feeling overwhelmingly sad at the moment. I'm hoping it's just the long day of travel and not enough sleep. But MAN I hate feeling like this!

I'm off to take a hot bath and hopefully make myself feel better.

wibble · 12-02-2008, 01:01 AM

Day 16, getting a bit mental now!!!!

Feel good though, slept well despite it being freezing!

Hows everyone feeling this morning?

LB, I promise not to post as much today! I've got loads to do so you can stay with your cows!!!

Keep at it CG, hope the hot bath did the trick. I've got a business trip coming up this weekend and I'm dreading it!!!

wibble · 12-02-2008, 01:56 AM

I just found the first post I ever posted on here (not as wibble under a different name).
18/11/07. I'd been lurking around the site for months before that as well. Kinda hit home to me that i've been desperately trying to stop drinking for well over a year.

It feels totally different this time, I reckon you lot would send the boys round if I started drinking now!!!!

Hope everyone is good, not too cold or anything.

Wibble

Morning all

Got a fuzzy head today but hey its Day 2.

It's cold here too, defrosting the car and heating it up before I have to go to work. I wish I could use SR at work, I can get it on our system but would be in trouble if I got caught.

wibble · 12-02-2008, 02:17 AM

I changed my avatar just for you son!

Having SR all the time is beyond distracting Pix so you aren't missing much!!!!

allport · 12-02-2008, 02:44 AM

Too right its distracting I thought when I gave up drinking I would finally get a life, I didnt realise that it was going to be a cyber life. Someone needs to start a 'help me quit reading SR every fifteen minutes' thread.

Id do it myself but it would only feed my addiction!

wibble · 12-02-2008, 02:57 AM

I thought it was just me, I'm becoming a right internet saddo

Must finish end of year accounts today!!!!

lostbutterfly · 12-02-2008, 04:08 AM

Me too! We need to start an SR anonymous thread! End of year accounts - that sounds like a riot! We just did ours, thank goodness.

Hoping like hell I've set up the 15% VAT right on my computer!! It seems to have changed all the VAT right up until 2004!! It'll be an interesting return we'll be submitting in the next quarter, I feel!

wibble · 12-02-2008, 04:25 AM

What a set of geeks

Best thing is about my accounts is that I can see when I was hammering coke because there's tons of cash withdrawls...

Awesome....

wibble · 12-02-2008, 04:27 AM

LB

If its that cold where you are, I suggest you have a look at the Health & Safety at work act 1974... and sue the mutha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok you'd lose your job and end up chewing codeine washed down with booze, but hey you'd feel like a winner!

lostbutterfly · 12-02-2008, 05:03 AM

I like my job Wibs! I still can't believe anyone would let me loose on their business the way I am here, but I do OK at it.

Tis a bit chilly, but in the unbearable one day heatwave of '94, it was just right!!!

Up until 2004? How fekkin far behind are you?

wibble · 12-02-2008, 05:50 AM

Tim, its Norfolk

They've only just worked out the 50's are over

ananda · 12-02-2008, 05:54 AM

OMG.....I didn't realize we were ALL bean counters!!!!!! I haven't balanced since March....and we are sorting and filing the last years worth of bills.

Our end of year isn't until july so I hope to be caught up by then. But I do have to start working on tuition funds for our GRAs immediately...thx you guys for reminding me.

OH....and goodmorning....It's getting off early that causes me to think drinking.

lostbutterfly · 12-02-2008, 06:03 AM

Wibble is self-employed, so he bean counts for himself. So you think bean counting causes drinking problems - I see a pattern here!

I'm in Cambridgeshire, Wibble. Near Histon FC!! And Stevenage, where Lewis Hamilton comes from. The heartland of sporting excellence!!

No, I'm not behind till 2004. But the darn computer has that much history in it and it's gone and changed everything up till then to 15% VAT. Lucky we have hard copies of everything. Old fashioned paper!!!

lostbutterfly · 12-02-2008, 06:04 AM

Is rampid a cross between the words rampant and rabid, or is a speeling missteak?
