I have decided to have a week off from the computer and the tv, after BB has finished. I don't know if I can do it and if you notice me online feel free to say

"na na na - knew you couldn't do it"!!!


has anyone else ever intentionally gone cold turkey and not used the SO forum? or when people are away for any length of time is it just circumstances?


Of course i wont be able to read any replies to this thread until next Sunday .... also of course I realise there may be no other replies - it wouldn't be my first replyless thread!!!

Just what are you going to do with your time???

Housework. urghhhhhhhhh.
Keep Fit. double urghhhhhhhhhh.


Come on tell me

I don't know!!! but it's quite exciting isn't it ... how will I feel my evenings? I might read the paper all the way through or read a book or take a bit of notice of my son ... who knows what opportunities are out there!!! :cool2:


On the other hand I may not make it past the first hurdle and could well be on here at 8.00am tomorrow!!

I'll look out for you in the thread to say good morning/good evening then :bye:

JESUS!!! I thougt you wern't going to drink for a week!!!
Record is about 5 days since I was 16.

Apart from that I could set my mind to anything....I managed to stop smoking 2 years ago after a 25 year 20 a day habit....the second vice to drink. So below that I could manage anything.

You will be fine.









PS

Do you want my postal address???

JESUS!!! I thougt you wern't going to drink for a week!!!


Ye gods are you mad woman!!!!

If I were you Dol, I would settle down with a good book - War and Peace should just about fill the void for you! :devil:

Crumbs Dol, I thought for a minute you had totally taken leave of your senses......and were going on a booze detox......phew!

See you on here tomorrow then chick.....:wink2: :laugh:

Good luck with it Dol, you are a braver woman than me! :wacko:

Good luck with it Dol, you are a braver woman than me! :wacko:
I don't actually hold out much hope ILS! I'm already starting to get the shakes and see an empty void in next week!

Dolores - why?
Are your eyes turning square from too much TV and computer? (didn't anyone elses mums used to tell them this would happen?)
Put down that paper and get on here!

Don't do it Dolores..please dont go.....don't leave us....pleaaaaaaase. :sad:

Go for it Dol! Once in a while, it does no harm to rediscover the fact that there is a lot more to life than a keyboard.

I'm getting scared! I'm just about to switch off the pc for a whole week!


I've still got 100 mins of tv left.....

See you all in a week's time.

.... parting is such sweet sorrow!

.... farewell my lovelies!


......of ffs it's only a week, it can't be too bad, i'm sure I'll survive!

DOLORESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs......... ..........

Bet she's still reading these answers though .... :laugh: :devil:

But we won't know you've really switched your computer off Dol. Not posting isn't the same as going cold turkey. Of course, I will expect a full review of the book/s you may have read at the end of the week as well as a breakdown of the week's news. Good luck. :)

I think we should all PM her, so she get's e-mail notification of a new PM, then she'll just HAVE to come see what's going on :devil:

OR we could spend the week talking about her, saying what we REALLY think of her... :laugh:

or sneak the work Dolores into every post so if she comes back and searches to see, she'll end up with 5443 posts to trawl through :devil: .


DOLORES

Yoo hoo Dolores, where are you :bye:

I bet she squatting in a corner now, biting her nails and rocking to and fro....sweating and dribbling...eyes wild and searching.









Dolores

I bet she's cloaked, right here right now, watching....

In answer to your question honey bunny, squidgy Mummy who won't read this for a week - and you'd better read it squidger!!! *where had that ranty one gone?*

Anyway - I tend to leave this place of beauty when life is unbearable at home and don't wish to inflict misery onto my beatious [pronounced beeeeeatious] mates be *meaning cool and scrummy - just like warm bread*]. BTW - life is never soooooo unbearable - just a bit pants - you understand?:)

Giving up booze would definately be easier than giving up S.O. and soooo much easier than giving up TV...I would simply die....nuff respect to the Dol! :cool2:

DOLORES

Hmmm, that might be a bit tricky. Though I'd like to tell you about a game of scrabble I was playing the other day. There was an L loose on the board to which I could attach my letters, but all I had was an E, L, A, D, O, E and S. I didn't know whether to make Doll or Ease.

So do you think she's got the DT's yet? :ohmy:

I can see her now...staring at the blank VDU willing it to life with her eye balls......dying to know what's going on whilst all the time trying to ignore the call of the television in the opposite corner.......'Dolores....Dolores.....you may not be watching me but I am watching you....wahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!' :devil:

I should think she is sweating and pacing around her house. I bet she's keeps thinking about us all too, all the time, every waking second - and in her dreams. SO SO SO SO SO

Awwww Cat....but it's your game hun...we just wanted to support you in it! :blush:

Grumpy old moo :)

I'm betting we've just been struck off Cat's Christmas list... :blush:

She'll be back :bye:

Nope...I'm not sure she will be....unless we are prepared to beg that is.... :huh:

Cat....pleeeeease come back...I'm sorry! :sad:

I'm betting we've just been struck off Cat's Christmas list... :blush:


I shouldn't worry about that....she tends to lose christmas cards before they actually get sent out.....still waiting for mine, which had the invite to the party in it so officially I shouldn't have gone.

But we still love her really.

I'll come back if you promise to play properly.

Cat hasn't come back yet.....I think she's still mad at us! :sad:

Dolores is probably emptying the medicine cabinet now looking for her last dose of valium...the nerves must be racking now....the TV and SO calling her...calling....DOLORES WE'RE HEEEEERRRREEEEE! :ohmy:

Dolores..........woo woo my loverlie........just in case you thought we'd forgotten you........... :wub:

Isn't she doing well? :)

But I wonder how much longer she can hold on? :blink:

She'll have sneaked in already, I betcha

Dolores................

How are you honey.....still shaking and sweating???

I kinda miss the old battleaxe :sad:

You do realise that Dol will persevere with this - but that when she comes back - she will be twice as bad to make up for it.:devil:

Hi! y'all!

I'm posting again! it was tough not posting for the first 48 hours but then I have to admit it got easier and easier not coming on here. But i am glad to be back now!

Welcome Back Dol - you're looking good!!! Did you miss us.........even a teensy weensy bit? We missed you! :)

Welcome Back Dol - you're looking good!!! Did you miss us.........even a teensy weensy bit? We missed you! :)
I missed everyone loads! In fact it took me by surprise how much I missed everyone! usually when i don't come on its cos I'm on holiday or busy, but to make a conscious decision not to come on was very hard .... and I wont be putting myself through that pain again! ....omg aren't I being melodramtic!

Good to see you back Dol :)

Hoorah, she's back!! :D
