Maybe get it checked out at the Dr's. I had fluid on the knee after a sex related incident

She sounds fabulous, I love how a chestnut shines in the sun. They glow. Ah my dear, a wee challenge, it sounds like it's just what you need!

My friend's mum bought a horse purely for novice dressage, she also turned out to be more advanced than originally thought when they checked out her history. The lovely creature has brought her on so much they are now a super elegant match.

Glad to hear Lala pup was yelling encouragement from the cheap seats! Bless her. The terrorist started her second season last night. I bought her some knickers to prevent the living room looking like an abbatoir. She is irritable and howling for a man.

Much like myself.

Lovely to see you back lala, don't you go disappearing again. There's all things hoss to discuss!! Xx

You do make me smile!!

A sex related incident?

Spill!

Anybody for popcorn

Passes round Opal Fruits.
We're waiting.....

Good luck with the marathon. I'll be cheering you on. In June I'm doing Goats Fell on Arran for a cancer charity.

So today we went to the pub on the way home from shopping. After drinking my AF Koppaberg I casually said I didn't know they did a summer fruit one. I thought it was only pear.
Yep. The barmaid had given me a non AF free one.
So I'm at home back on water trying hard not to crack open the Pinot.

mint we don't give a shit about the Koppa berg.
We need the details of the sex related incident . Now please!

mint we are the souls of discretion

I'm not going to get away with not telling am I?
My ExH and I were in Southampton on our joint hen and stag night (many years ago when we drunk tequilla with vodka chasers) and had a shag against the wall whilst very pissed in the park toilets. It twisted my knee.
Now i need to name change don't I

Way to go mint. We won't tell anyone...
(Faire get up on the roof rack. The microphones are fully charged)
I hurt my knee shagging against a wall once too. He was much taller and I had to be on tiptoe....

Our lips are sealed.

There is a teeny tiny bridge a few miles from my house. They don't call it the Shakkin Briggie for nothing.

Mint so glad you told the story nothing like sex related injury tales to perk up a Saturday night.

Hmmm since we're swapping sex-related stories, I once got carpet burns... but that was a long time ago 😀

Carpet burns where, exactly?

Hi babes,

Sorry for disappearing, I got a bit spooked when someone said we had been outted on social media as I have done v little to hide my RL identity. Lux, it's not Friday but in your honour I just dug out a Clinique face mask from the v back of the cupboard - I hope these things don't have sell by dates? Anyway, it has been applied with gusto, just hope it can sort out my skin which is currently worse than it was in my teens.

So I managed DJ and then in a depressingly predictable way fell totally off the wagon once Feb began. On Weds I only had 2 beers, but on Thursday I was out for dinner with new potential clients who I was supposed to be impressing, and I got shitfaced back at the house of one of them after the dinner. I don't actually even remember the end of the evening but I am clutching at straws and imagining it wasn't too awful as I managed to take all my make-up off, contact lenses out and put my pyjamas on before passing out. But in a worst case scenario it actually could be seriously bad for my reputation and my career. Apparently some people live and learn and apparently I am not one of those people. What a fucking loser.

So I haven't drunk still then, mainly because I feel so awful in every way. Sorry babes, you were having a fun night and I've just totally put a damper on it.

Elba, you are my running inspiration - amazing. Ma, hope the bruises go away soon - I remember falling like that once, cartoon style, where you sort of hang in the air and the whole thing happens in slow motion - not fun. Sorry not to nc anyone else, hope you're all having a good night.

Hi Brave Babes. I'd like to enrol. I've mininised this for 25+ years now. But I have a 17 year old and she knows. I drank in my bedroom tonight for the first time ever tonight and i know I need to do something. I've seen this thread so often and though ha I don't need that, but I know I do. Writing this is quite a big thing for me. Where do I start?

margie stop that talk, not a loser at all, a learner like all of us.

mint you naughty thing 😀

Friend came overy, she drank a bottle and half of wine, Mr Lux is shitefaced, there is a bottle left I have no doubt he'll drink. I've had 3 gins and I'm fairly pleased with that.

toomany welcome aboard our fabulous bus. We'll help you. I felt like you, just the same. Admitting you need support is the hardest but most important bit. Just share whatever you're comfortable with.

Thank you Luxury . I've lurked on MN for so many years now and never post. For years I've felt it's under control because I have a stop point. It's a ludicrous stop point, but it's there. But just recently that stop point is shifting which frighens me a bit plus I feel the kids (17 and 14) are becoming aware. I'm probably being daft - they're probably more than aware but I think I've hidden it well.

Hello toomany and welcome. Would you feel like telling us a bit more about yourself? We are a bit of a rabble, but a very welcoming one and we love that you're clambering on board.

Dubh - I'll watch the film, definitely. I am not a massive ballet fan (is that an awful admission?) but the DDs and I go to see whichever Matthew Bourne show is on at Sadlers Wells each Christmas. None of us much love ballet, but its our thing, our tradition and we humour each other through it . We all adored Edward Scissorhands - did you see that? Just so inventive. Not proper ballet, I'm sure, but an amazing interpretation, as were the last couple of iterations of Sleeping Beauty. Haven't seen Swan Lake though, would love that.

LaLa a chestnut horse you say? Oh, I am so excited for you. Envious, yes, but excited. Fingers crossed !

Toomany I've spoken a bit about my daughter here, like you i thought I hid it well but I was very wrong, I say that in no way to worry you or make you feel bad, it's more that her honesty gave me clarity and joining in here makes me know I'm far from alone, I feel a certain responsibility that's been lacking but it took years to get into the right frame of mind. I mean years and while I'm happy with my progress it's not a done deal. I'm tired and waffling I'm afraid. I'll be around tomorrow.

Hello Small
I'm 51, I'm single mum to two kids 14 and 17. I've had a problem with alcohol from my early 20s, but I feel I'm quite good at disguising it. There haven't been too many disasters. Well, there have been but I've been able to disguise them. This is difficult to write as looking at the sentance above it sounds ridiculous. I've had many many years of being hungover in the primary playground. i'm not really sure where to start to be honest
