The rain in Jersey has stopped, still very humid though.
I thought Retail therapy = Shopping lol, damn I miss those days of shopping, they will be back again, hopefully soon.
Glad you are making a meeting later Tanya, they just get me in the right frame of mind. I love forgetting the world for that hour, its like all the outside world and all the stuff that goes on with it just vanishes while in a meeting.

Another sober day nearly over, I had a bit of energy today for a change and got some stuff done, nothing major, just nice to be able to do things without feeling exhausted or my head in agony.
I did some retail therapy too, bought a portable hard drive and also saw a camera reduced to £10, I should be able to make some cash on Ebay with it. It is worth about £40 or more.

I was looking at them online and fancied them, I'd a bit of spare cash from when my work moved me a few months back I'd not spent.
Went into GAME and they had a 2nd hand one for £60, bought a whole load of preowned ( posh word for 2nd hand) games as well.
Its a PSP3000 which is the new one, but my one is a 2000, not that I know the difference.
New games are like £30 but prewned ones start as cheap as £2.99.
eg Tiger Woods Golf 2009 £34.99 Tiger Woods Golf 2007 £2.99 !!!!!!!!!
If your a crack gamer then maybe but for messing about with.
Needless to say I bought the older cheaper versions of things and I'm having great fun.

Good for doing what your sponsor suggests. Yeah..that's the ticket! A face to face
person can save you in a rough spot. I am so glad for you..as keith said.

Hi my sweet friends!
As I scrunch down into the chair and take a long sip of my Diet Dr Pepper, I want to tell you how much I missed all of you! I have read all the posts, but a blanket "thanks" will have to do! Hope no one minds...
So, we got home Tues (well, weds actually) at 1:30 am and yesterday was filled with restocking the fridge, catching up with the girls and...drum roll, please...doing my 4th Step with my NEW sponsor (the one I told you all about)!!!! I just love her...we have much in common (which is good), but many differences as well (which is ALSO good). I had written it while we were away. Honestly, Least (and Stoney), it isn't as bad as I feared. One of my workbooks likens it to cleaning house: sort of looking at what's there and deciding what you want to keep and what you want to discard. I'm an avid writer anyhow and had done a lot of soul searching this winter. But it was a relief to tell someone (other than my family) of my plusses and minuses...particularly to another alcoholic. We hooted over some of our similar "schemes" and altho I have known this woman for quite a while, the honesty and bonding were liberating. Tomorrow, I will read her "my story" and we'll go from that onto resentments...I was so worried about her expectations and my fears, but I finally just threw up my hands ( Beeand jumped without thinking (like you all suggested). I had FAITH that it would be OK and that I would get what I needed.
So...um, other than THAT, I have decided on a new "me", in terms of style and bought some fun clothes while away. I 'm into long and flowy...so I have lots of gauze skirts and sari skirts, fun capris, and lots of belts (I've decided that I'm into belts). I think I'm reliving my hippy days!!! When I was active, clothes just covered my body (and a lot of black, I might add). Now, I'm a rainbow of colors and that feels suited to my SPIRIT....
So, my dear friends, I'm glad to be back among you and have a computer that's normal sized!
Love to you all!!!
