Oh, I know about knickers! I heard some saying here on SR "Kitchen pickers wear big knickers. "
Venus, that's exactly what I thought.
I feel like I am taking advantage of being naughty while parents are away)

Evening everyone, you're all very funny.
I am being brave and going down the pub tonight but I am not going until 11pm. Even an anti-social type like me cannot escape the tyranny of the calender.
Edit: If something is described as "pants" in the UK it means it is rubbish which unfortunately does describe our weather in London.

Happy New Year to all of you and congratulations to all of you who reached a sobriety milestone this New Year.
I am trying to simplify my life for the new year and remove a lot of the stress and anxiety. Some of it can't be helped such as work related stress or family life stress. As my therapist always liked to point out, my mother is not going to change at her age so all I can control is my reaction to her. On Christmas Eve I was trying to do 3 things at once and then she screamed at me because I let a pot of milk boil over and she was harping on about it for 30 minutes. I know she was stressed out as we were expecting guests but it was incredibly annoying. I just don't enjoy being screamed at. There is no need for anyone to raise their voice like that.
I need to remove some of the "hangers on" from my life also. I tried to tell that guy last night that I didn't think we should see each other again. Then I got a text in the middle of the night saying he couldn't sleep and we needed to meet for coffee to 'discuss our future". What future?
I told him I needed time to think and I would be in touch in a few weeks. It will really just be me telling him the same thing in a few weeks time. Or I could just ignore any future messages but I don't like doing that either.
Oh well. I am hoping for a less stressful and more productive 2018.
Best wishes to all of you. Lots of love always, Tetra
