Weekender 7-11 June2018
I'm in.
Having a weird day, because I'm quitting smoking (again) and this is day 1. I hadn't decided today was the day until this morning, even though I have been saying for months that I'd quit "soon." I knew there'd come a day when it just hit me, and today was it. I'm going on vacation with my son next week to Washington, DC, so it's either really good timing because I'll be outside my normal routine, or really bad timing because it might be stressful at times. Not that spending time with my son is stressful, but just that it's a big city I haven't been to as an adult in charge of things. Hopefully by the time we leave Monday the worst of the craving is gone. I have tried to quit several times since I quit drinking - I find it much harder to quit smoking.
MB - I'm sorry to hear about this horrible work trip. I think when you go again, there should be ground rules about what you can reasonably be expected to do, if that's possible. It just sounds awful to be at the beck and call of what sounds like a spoiled rich girl. Yuck.

Hi, MLD. Glad to see you and thank you for the kind words.
I finally put extra stuff in an extra handbag and will take it with me in the cabin.
Snufkin - You are gorgeous.
I am exhausted after packing and the entire day.
Going to decompress for 10 minutes watching UFC and then go to sleep.
See you)

Last day in Croatia tomorrow and had a good time but looking forward to sleeping in my own bed again and having a proper mug of English tea!
Keep strong weekenders and be good xxx

End of Day 19 for me - feeling quiet sleepy. Had a large glass of cold milk with saffron (a good antioxidant in addition to being super fragrant). Tomorrow is Friday, a heavy craving day. Giving myself a 50-50 chance that I will drink my usual 2 pints of beer. Let's see how it goes. Good night folks!

Happy Friday weekenders...I'm in 💜
Enjoy being back home Midnight
Snufkin sounds like a fab birthday...love your pics of the beach.
Both my husband and I have taken the day off work as we have a trip to the solicitors to sign paperwork for the house move and then we have our first baby scan!!!!!!!! I am petrified that there won't be a heartbeat or we find out its an ectopic pregnancy etc but we will find out either way today and will deal with it together. It's not till this afternoon so today is gonna drag!!!
Tomorrow I'm meeting up with a friend for coffee (and cake if the nausea allows) and then Sunday is father's day in the UK so I will be delivering a surprise luxury breakfast hamper to my parents house for dad (and mum) to enjoy Sunday morning.

Hi Weenders!
It’s been too long that I’ve been away from here 😔.
Hello my sweets, Gilmer, Suze, Bim, Vman, MB, sao ❤️, Dee ❤️, and hugs 🤗🤗🤗 to everyone else. I’ve missed you all so much. It’s comforting to know that I have this safe haven 😊.
MB, love, sorry about that stressful work situation and I’m happy for you that it’s over for now at least. Take a breather and bounce back. Do you think that there is something positive to take away from your difficult situation?
MantaLady, how did you like Croatia? Were you in Zagreb? I’m traveling out there (Croatia, Bosnia) soon.
Calmself, I’m in a similar situation with beer, which I usually don’t particularly like but which at least is less likely to get me hammered 🤦🏽*♀️🤪.
I’ve had a stressful few weeks, with yesterday being super stressful but I’m trying to keep calm and not let worry and anxiety take over. I’m only glad to say that in my journey, I have at last reached the point where I don’t drink anymore due to stress, anger, etc. I’m still drinking (sadly) but it’s much reduced and really do it now more as force of habit. I’m a bit stuck on how to rejoin the sober bus at the moment. But I know I’ll get there.
Anyway, more later! Happy Friday to everyone!
Oh, argillaceous, get on here. Miss you 🤗❤️.
Lava 😊😘.
