Hi all. Thought I'd post here because I didn't want to clog up the newbies page.

I have recently moved into a home of my own and am thinking more and more about drinking.

It's nearly 9PM here and the booze shops shut at 10, but am worried about giving in to the temptation.

Have a great weekend all!

SW- I Mam NEARLY at that stage. Have saved more- on my very minimal allowance than I ever did as a successful person (??). I am buying a TV and microwave soon. A guy at a meeting recently- lots of tatts, 2 tattooed tears near eye, very hard core drug/alcohol/crime history, sober many years- was really excited because he had just bought a garden hose and a washing machine. It was so unreal for him. He sat and watched it working for a while, just smiling, grateful for his recovery.
So really good- for youse.

Play the tape DD you can do this and feel free to post it's what SR is about

You too Stargazer

Thanks Phoenix i always say it's the little things especially so in sobriety congrats on the new tv & microwave

The new machine is a lot quieter Mrs Sw is happy

We're watching the last two episodes of season 2 of Broadchurch

Hi DD, it's probably gone 10 pm there now. I hope you found something to take your mind going to the shop.

Wolfie, pleased you got a washing machine,,yay, now if Mrs Wolfie is feeling the need to wash everything, just say! I've got a few bundles here!

Soberwolf

Thanks Phoenix & Mags

I literally had to prize her away from the kitchen i was like it's just a machine lol

I'm having a very eventful 24h while i was downstairs Mrs Sw pointed out 2 cats outside in broad daylight doing you know what i was gobsmacked & in disbelief we both started laughing our heads off

Those cats had no shame

Soberwolf

What a cliffhanger were going to watch the finale after we get back

Ariesagain

I assume we're not talking about the cats, right?

PhoenixJ

Perhaps both

After the initial anger spike - which did no one any good, we are getting on with life. Today I put an extra two power sockets in the utility room and fetched some ceramic tiles off the kitchen wall while Mrs T reupholstered 4 dining chairs.

Now there is a cat stuck in the tree it's been there for over 40 mins it's getting dark tonight is going to be chilly my neighbours don't know yet & I'm debating going up the tree to rescue it

it wasn't hissing or anything when i was in the tree trying to talk it down

Don't know what's happening today

venuscat

Did you get it out of the tree wolfie?

Soberwolf

The cat is safely down now it reached a lower branch via my hand i had garden gloves on it hissed but i think it knew i was helping

First cat I've ever rescued from being stuck in a tree it's going to be cold tonight & just didn't think it was right leaving it up there

Going to have another hot long soak now

venuscat

Oh love, you are seriously AWESOME!!! ♥

Soberwolf

Thanks Suze I just hope someone decides to rescue me if im ever stuck on a mountain one day x

I just knew it was stuck I've never seen a cat that high up and it's going to be a cold night in London and after 45+ minutes of non movement and dwindling sunlight i got the ladder and carefully made my way to the cat Mrs Sw had the ultra bright torch so i could see (she was worried I might fall) but i was ok & was wearing garden gloves my neighbours must have thought what's he up to lol ?

I was going to inform my neighbours across the road but thought why worry them & the last thing i wanted was someone ringing the fire brigade to rescue & them turning up outside. it's not fair on them & i always wanted a reason to get near the top of the tree & thought why not i was careful & made sure my footing was firm

The cat initially hissed and went into battle cat mode but i kept talking softly and eventually picked it up and it jumped to a branch lower down & made it's escape

I just didn't want it up there stuck in the cold all night plus the worry of the neighbours wondering where thier cat was

We're relaxing now watching the S2 Finale of Broadchurch

Soberwolf

That finale was good no spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen it - my guess was wrong sort of
