To ask how long can you all keep it tight before you need a blow out?

Only because after a whole Sumer of keeping it tight and responsible and the return to school stuff I am ready to drop the plough and cut loose. It feels like long enough.

An I unreasonable to say there is a limit on how long you can be good and work hard before you go mad?

What?

ComingUpTrumps · 18/09/2024 23:00

Sorry?

YesitsBess · 18/09/2024 23:01

Is this related to hair, farming, tummy problems or gin?

My responses are slightly different depending on which it is...

Ohcrap082024 · 18/09/2024 23:01

Eh?

VioletVesper · 18/09/2024 23:02

LeavesOnTrees · 18/09/2024 23:03

NCagainandagainandagain · 18/09/2024 23:03

Ermmmm and your point is??

YesitsBess · 18/09/2024 23:03

A plough apparently @VioletVesper

JacquelineShit · 18/09/2024 23:03

So now I gotta cut loose
Footloose
Kick off the Sunday shoes

Great, now I'm going to go to bed singing this! 🙈

FrazzledHippy · 18/09/2024 23:04

Regular pelvic floor exercises should help to keep it tight 👍

StoneTheCrone · 18/09/2024 23:05

Is this some new language?

EmeraldRoulette · 18/09/2024 23:06

Soooo…..

you had to be responsible in front of kids all summer and now want to do what exactly? I’m sure it’s fine btw

Adhddistractions · 18/09/2024 23:07

Are you from Yorkshire OP? This all made sense to me then I read the comments 😂Book some AL and have a child free day.

Coatsoff42 · 18/09/2024 23:07

Ah, I’ve been going to bed early and doing work and house work for too long and wonder if everyone else feels like going out and going crazy after a while. Maybe I should grow up and everyone else keeps plugging away happily.
I feel like I need to go AWOL for an evening after a while.
i was wondering if people are happy working and caring ad infinitum or if they get to a point where they need to shake it off, then carry on.
i feel lt, i wish we had the nutso religious ceremonies they had in the Middle Ages where you could really let go of the everyday worries.

Oh, so do I.
I'm always saying so to DH.

BiscuitlyBoyle · 18/09/2024 23:09

Is it tonight it’s a full moon? Feels like it.

TreesWelliesKnees · 18/09/2024 23:09

Do like that Mum in Motherland who lives opposite Julia. Go large it for a night.

YesitsBess · 18/09/2024 23:10

Ah! You're feeling the need for some druid-style earthy madness and revelry!

Didn't have that on my bingo card but you get yourself a floaty outfit, whirl like a dervish in the woods and get shitfaced on mead whilst harassing a yew tree if that's what you need to do.

We've all been there.

glittercunt · 18/09/2024 23:11

I totally hear this.

Though I'd probably go a bit wickerman and cause a scandal or two in the process.

I think I'm very overdue a singsong and a scrap.

I've just read that in full Caroline Aherne in Fast show voice...

"What did I say Roy?"

Stichintime · 18/09/2024 23:12

Sorry, drudgery is part of child rearing. If that's what you're talking about, still not 100% !

Aquamarine1029 · 18/09/2024 23:12

Go run up and down the street naked a few times. Make sure the neighbours see. That'll pep you up.
