My Diary of Shame

Fair enough. Another quote from a recent meeting: "No" is a complete sentence.

All the best.

Hi ODATT,

Thanks for the kind words of support on my diary page. We are all CGs but everyone is different and so are the ways we go about our recoveries. This forum is like GA meetings, you take from it what you wish, relate to what you have experienced and take strength from others stories or support.

I got the email today from Admin to say my post had been removed! Little annoyed but I suppose I was in the wrong.

Tomorrows a new day and I know what I'm planning for before anything else, then yes, hopefully the sun will shine for a family day out.

All the best to you and thanks again.

Hello 🙂

​Not seen a post on here from you in a while... Hope all is okay and you're well and healthy.

​Be good!

Hi odaat, thanks for the post too. I too try and support others diaries and listen to different experiences. Keep recovering. thanks again tri

Evening Mrs D, it's been a while...

I've been down @ the bolthole & slept a million trillion hours in the last few days. I'm fairly convinced it's not good for me doing my sleeping in bulk but I can kind of blame the sea air down there coz even the Mutt is out for the count every opportunity he gets. NM was moaning about not having a lie in 'ever' this morning when his 19th alarm went off @ 1000 hours & I insisted he get up coz we had to ship up & out to get up to Cardiff for his mate's wedding this weekend. Good job I did because despite Highways Agency warning us about 'congestion' between 22 & 21, we drove past an Ambulance, an undrivable Nissan Juke & a burnt out lorry on our travels & about 200 miles of rubber neckers on the opposite carriageway. I know, I'm exaggerating but under normal circumstances I, yes, even in my buggy, could have driven 200 miles in the time it took us to move about 3!!! The kennels waited for us to get there & the mutt was whisked off into doggy heaven without so much as a backwards glance. It's about 1/2 an hour away from here & surrounded by hills so if he's started howling yet I can't hear it & I'm not answering the phone if it rings 😉

We've been out for dinner (I didn't complain about the bill & no, not because he is paying, I may not be Dutch but I'm happy to pay my way these days), I ironed (can anyone tell me why every iron I have ever used spits water on the silk setting even when the steam is switched off?) a few extra creases into my dress & added some water marks for effect, had a luxurious soak in the bath, painted the crusty bits on the end of my feet, painted some of the bedclothes (oops, note to self, let housekeeping know 1st next time before using nail varnish remover), discovered I have no pj's (so dragged some yoga pants & NM's stinky tshirt on), caught the last 20 mins of chat & am settling down to my emails. It's 2309 & just like when I'm @ home, I'm wide awake...Could it really be the pollution? Or is it having lived on my own so long, I don't actually know how to co-habit yet? Or maybe finally having the chat about finances that has repeatedly been put off because the NM thinks I'm 'robbing' him of his right to own Jet Skis has helped settle my mind?

Either way, I'm calm & gamble free...I'll take it - ODAAT

Nice. Keep it going. tri

My wife's already done it this morning so i will look stupid if I don't have a go now lol
Maybe I'll fake a hamstring injury?

I should be blogging! I would be if I could figure out a) how to get back into my blog & b) how to do a new post :-0

Hi odaat if I've read right a year older must mean its your birthday? So happy birthday maybe? If not take it in advance for your next one
Also just so I'm not trying to work it out for another six months is nm new man?

I've fought off the urge to come to you to answer your question...Dan is completely right as my diary makes absolutely no sense whatsoever in parts & I was the daft cow writing it 😉

So yup, it's ma birfday...So I'll take the greeting (thank you muchly) 🙂

& not quite, he's my Norvern Monkee 😉

Just got to work and noticed the post from Mr Midlands :)) Oh is it yer birthday youngen ? Happy birthday if it is Kelly and many happy returns but if it's not I'll have a word with Deano later :(( and I think NM stands for Nurgel mackherer Deano ( it's Dutch for Darling Hubby ) :))

Ps How sorry do I feel for that Dog of hers ? .

xx

P.s: No news on the new job front, it's still being advertised & to top it off, the stalker who shouldn't finish work until 7 (I am careful not to catch trains around that time) hunted me down on the 1605 (angry face)! No thoughts of gambling thankfully but I'm deffo much angrier than I was this morning 🙁

Had me worried when I read your morning post ODAAT, not like you to make it all the way to paragraph two before you start mentioning food!

Must be some sort of record.

How does writing about the "major changes in the household" descend into listing the contents of your fridge? d:-D

The word 'food' should be after 'my' and before 'diary' in the title of this thread - that title would make more sense.

That M&S chocolate chip shortbread does sound good. I was on the receiving end of some cutting-edge cake innovation myself recently. My girlfriend presented me with a Lemon Bakewell. Never seen one before, at first I thought it might of been homemade by my girlfriend, but then it tasted really good so I ruled that theory out.

Better than the more commonly spotted cherry variety IMO ODAAT.

Controversial.

Pleased to see you getting some sleep, better than it has been and wishing the sleep situation continues to improve for you. It's important.

Know how hard you work and how dedicated you are to your job. They would be fools not to give you that job.

All the best getting it.

You'll always properly succeed at anything you put your mind to.

And have.

This diary is evidence of that.

Brightest blessings

Diaries have to make sense?
Me sticking 800 notes trying to win 25 doesn't make sense either. Dan just doesn't like cross referencing when he's having a mooch.

As for the stalker. If you read the sky news article maybe an mi5 agent drenched in his own urine maybe?

Have a great birthday cheese cake and double cream hopefully?

I'm off to start another diary. Thanks dan

Happy birthday x
