Assuming no-one goes off sick/resigns/gets fired/suddenly realises great aunt nelly is coming etc etc I've already got my shifts up to and including 12/1/14 so pick some dates and I will give you the best ones for me.

It's cheap. Xmas is Wednesday so I would suggest following Monday to avoid New year

Post by: Fly on November 22, 2013, 09:00:16 PM
@Emmz. Obviously work comes first  ;)
We get a week or so off over xmas. Yes we could work it. We decide not to.
That's our choice, not the bosses. Not a lot of people get the flexibility we have.

I will be there as long as nobody buys me alcohol, I am trying to get dry.  Would be nice to meet all the posters on this site.  I know I come and go but I read everything.

Have you just come out of hibernation?
Title: Re: 9 weeks to post Xmas drink?
Post by: Old Cruser on December 12, 2013, 10:00:12 AM
Good to see you back mycul and well done for coming off booze it has to be one of the hardest things anyone can do and Christmas must make it even harder.
Keep going, maybe you could do what Mr & Mrs Fly did and post a blog on here I'm sure others would rallie and give you support  :)
Title: Re: 9 weeks to post Xmas drink?
Post by: mycul on December 12, 2013, 09:09:27 PM
This meet is going to be hard for me. Came off the booze early November, ended up in hospital. The sick note said withdrawal.  What I didn't realise is that you can't just stop drinking. You have to decrease your drinking and then stop.  But because I am on my own and get lonley I will be there at the meeting (wrong word but you know what I mean) I will enjoy myself. They say that the 3 most most stressful things are divorce, moving house and bearearvement, I am batting 2 out of 3 at the moment.  Actually I think there is a fourth, driving to a holiday "are we there yet".  I am looking forward to putting "names" to faces.

Post by: Old Cruser on December 13, 2013, 10:10:17 AM
You will be fine Mycul, just stay positive and I am sure everyone will help you through the night.
Never been in your position but had a cousin who was so I appreciate how hard it is for you.
Keep focused.  :)

Post by: Fly on December 31, 2013, 12:42:31 AM
Don't know what happened to me. Bad pint, or food.
Got home, have had a few more drinks and feel fine now. 12.30am
Sat watching 'The Game'. Michael Douglas. Bit deep !
Our_Lass has gone to bed bless her :-)

Always nice to meet up with friends. Sorry I wasn't very with it for the last hour  >:(
Bet Simon thinks I'm a right barrel of fun to go drinking with  ;D

Please don't buy me any 'games' for my birthday.  Eeeck !!

Good to meet up with everyone again.

Crackin' Right Foot (led by Aza Brown who used to post on CF in the early days) list Grousefest as Sunday 24th August on their gig guide. Not a place to sit and chat but some good music.

Grouse was the venue of our first non winter meet up but I think there were only about 4 of us, remember meeting Emmz for first time.

Post by: simondjuk on December 31, 2013, 12:00:54 PM
Well I really enjoyed last night, especially putting faces to names, although Ive met Fly, Our_lass and Slacker before.

Hope there arent too may sore heads today.

And Fly, I know the feeling of bad food/drink.  Been there.

Im sure ill be joining in next year too (depending on the date)
