COLD DARK ROOM

Popping in to say hi!
I'm going to go out and pull some weeds today. The weather seems to have forgotten that it's summer. It's only 64f and probably won't get much warmer.

Come to sunny England! It's in the 80s here and we're loving it!

Naughty Carol. Get yourself some decaf. There is a little caffeine in it, but when you cave the damage is less. I had to give it up when my thyroid went berserk just after Son was born. JoesDad went through the withdrawal with me which helped.

It is worth it. I have a cup of caffeinated occasionally, but it's like once a month. I even have decaf ground coffee and decaf instant coffee in stock. Recently, because JoesDad seems to have become caffeine intolerant, I started buying decaf tea too.

I am going to be checking up on you. If you feel yourself weakening then message me!

Thank you Linda - that means alot. Today i wanted to but had rooibos tea which has no caffeine in it. I dont really like tea but it's better than water. Rooibos is also quite healthy. Still getting used to it. The decaf idea is not a bad one. Maybe when i really feel like a cup of coffee i'll have decaf instead. But not too often as i know myself. I'll end up going back. I'll preserver though. I think also staying off the pain tablets makes it hard. As i feel sore all over all the time. I have had to take Panado tablets ( paracetemol) twice due to bad headaches but have managed to stay off the strong stuff. Almost wanted to give up today though. The one pain tablet also wakes me up besides taking the pain away most of the time. So it has been difficult as i feel exhausted and sore. I have however been taking my sleeping tablet. Otherwise i cannot function and cant sleep as deeply ( feel every ache and pain while sleeping if no sleeping tablet). Taking it slowly. And want to conquer the strong pain tablets and coffee first then will work on the sleeping tablets.

We are settled down for England v. Belgium. The outcome of this match doesn't make much odds. It's a change to be able to watch England and not be stressed about the outcome. They just need to avoid injury!

Those doing SuperBru need to get their predictions for the next round in after today's matches!

Yup. I see Belgium just scored. [emoji17] Rooting for England.

Hi Bambam.
Don't pull all the weeds out. Clunker will be upset with you.

Lol. Hhhaaaaa. England just missed. [emoji31] [emoji31]

I’m not happy with my picks, I think I overstated the 3 goals. Oh well, we’ll see.

Next lot of picks I am going to do a "eeny meeny miny mo" move as my strategies so far haven't worked. [emoji23] [emoji23]

You have to remember that the coming off the caffeine is probably making everything else worse at the moment. Let yourself have painkillers. Trying not to do both simultaneously is not good.

When you’re missing the coffee less then you tackle the drugs and not before

It’s not the end of the world. We’re winning 3-5 on bookings at the moment. A draw would mean we end up in the top half of the draw which neither team wants

I thought you had been doing it deliberately as it would look bad if the league organiser won everything [emoji23]

You think so. Thank goodness. As this is difficult.

Whahahaha. YES totally deliberate, I am going to go with that.[emoji23] [emoji23]

I hate to say it Carol, but it looks like Kathy has more points than you and she only joined for the last two games [emoji23]

After a poor start, I rallied at the end. Second in this round

Time for everyone to make their picks for the round of 16!
