Checking in to the shiny new thread

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/02/2017 19:28

Hope you're feeling a bit better now, witty. I feel a lot more like myself today, it seems to have taken this long to bounce back from what I'm calling my Relapse Saturday Blush

I'm really feeling more determined and positive than ever at the moment so I hope this lasts.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/02/2017 19:33

Hope you're feeling a bit better too Snowball Smile

Hellllooooo feeling a bit more human this evening. Although I'm eating like a fucking horse.

My skin even looks clearer tonight.... after just 3 days of no cigs?! Energy levels slowly returning to normal. Refraining from cigs is 1000 times harder than refusing a line for me. I counted with dh that I've turned coke down 3 times in the last year but haven't gone more than a day without smoking for two years.

No armbands needed here at all yet but I'm sure they will be at some point Blush

Inarightpickleandchutney · 21/02/2017 19:56

Oh my god I'm in a fouler tonight.

I've gone 198 days and fuck me sideways I could probably do a whole one in one line right now!

I've no wine for the second day and I am just RAGING at everything!!

Someone talk me down before I cry, divorce DH and catch the first flight to Colombia!!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/02/2017 20:11

Gosh that would be a big line, pickle Shock

Will it help if i tell you you're doing AMAZINGLY well? Because you are.
I diagnose a really hot relaxing bath. And breathing.

cleaning It is very hard. Don't forget you have iron will power and balls of steel and will chewing gum help? Nice herbal Brew for you.

serialtester · 21/02/2017 20:15

Pickle, we all have our shit days. Just take things easy this evening. Bath? Bed? Would they help?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/02/2017 20:19

Good call, Bishop. Pickle, Bath, fuzzy pyjamas and bed for you young lady.

serialtester · 21/02/2017 20:24

Actually though, shall we have a school trip to Columbia? What could possibly go wrong?!

OP posts:
serialtester · 21/02/2017 20:24

We could do a coach holiday there.

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/02/2017 20:31

I've got my case packed by the door. Just waiting for the call.
Cleaning can sort out our itinerary for the trip. We can pick up flat from Manchester on the way to the airport.
Serial you can sit at the front of the coach looking after anyone that's travel sick and handing out sweets.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 21/02/2017 20:33

Ooh yes! I love lists and maps.... #ocd

Hang in there pickle 💪💪💪

serialtester · 21/02/2017 20:37

I've bagsied the back seat though Lost!

Can you get coaches with baths?

Can see cleaning buffing up the interior and organising us all!

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/02/2017 20:40

Good point, I refuse to go cold turkey from baths.

cleaning can be trip organiser and do regular head counts.

witty can use this holiday as a chance to develop her personal brand that her work keep banging on about.

serialtester · 21/02/2017 20:45

Flat will stagger on the coach in Manchester like Liam Gallagher waving snowballs phone.

Pickle will be in the luggage compartment guarding her wine and fags from me.

OP posts:
serialtester · 21/02/2017 20:45

Lost will be playing banging tunes over the tannoy.

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/02/2017 20:51

I've Emailed Russell, Jarvis and Louis Theroux the details.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 21/02/2017 20:56

Can we invite Bez? As long as the luggage compartment has a speaker so I can hear the music that's fine!!

Coach trip to Colombia, channel 4 show in the making!!

serialtester · 21/02/2017 20:58

Good work lost. Bez can come too. Can we invite Robert Peston. He's my guilty pleasure! I bet he'd be well up for it.

To be fair though we probably
Wouldn't want that trip broadcast on television, I did not think that through...
Rage coming in waves, think it's possible I've had enough of good behaviour. Thanks for cheering me up

INeedAWittyNameChange · 21/02/2017 21:02

Road trip! Road trip! You'll need to make a detour via Scotland though!

Inarightpickleandchutney · 21/02/2017 21:03
