You're going to need one of those hats (and stubble) to pull this off my friend.

serialtester · 13/02/2017 18:44

As a woman of a certain age the stubble is feasible.

Ds and dh are cooking dinner together, v chilled evening here. No wine for me and trying not to smoke any more as I've had 4 Confused

UnbornMortificado · 13/02/2017 18:50

Just here to cheer everyone on. Love the thread title Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/02/2017 18:51

Like the Uncle Ben advert? That sounds like heaven, my husband and son cooking for everyone.. Enjoy.

4 fags sounds pretty virtuous from where I'm standing. Stay chilled Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/02/2017 18:53

Thanks, unborn How are you getting on with the pregnancy, kicking fags and stuff?

UnbornMortificado · 13/02/2017 19:06

Ilost kicking the fags got shoved to the back burner. DD2's dad's just lost his access to DD (drug related as usual) and I've just spent a week in hospital with DD1 who has appendicitis.

It doesn't rain it fucking pours.

I've cut down to 3/4 a day and I'm seeing the smoking cessation person next week.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/02/2017 19:09

That all sounds really stressful Sad Hope your daughter is on the mend now? Flowers

Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 13/02/2017 19:24

I wouldn't even bother trying to give up horses Grin amazing adrenaline rush, someone that listens and doesn't talk back and something to pamper and buy sparkly things for. What more could a girl want Grin. This thread is such a lovely one. The rest of MN is so judgey and stressy. Also Cleaning has shamed me a bit so I had to scrub all my floors so you are helping me be a better housewife. Not what I expected from this thread! Swimming sounds good cleaning. Except I have visions of you scrubbing the showers because they aren't sparkly enough. Should you ever want a country getaway I can offer an old farmhouse featuring muddy dogs and a toddler?? I have granite Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/02/2017 19:27

What time do you want us there, fairydust? The country house sounds perfect for us lot this weekend. Grin

Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 13/02/2017 19:55

Anytime you want if you're armed with mops and dusters Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/02/2017 20:04

I'm now humming She lives in a house a very big house in the couunntry Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/02/2017 20:06

..everything's going jackanory Grin

flatwhite45 · 13/02/2017 20:06

We have a solution........let's all go and live with fairy dust and ride horses....sounds utterly idyllic.

Thank you for the compliment about our thread, I think we are a pretty lovely bunch too....I hope we are proving the stereotype of addicts wrong.

Am home after a long day at work, ready to fight the bastard cocaine again with my not so successful strategies.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/02/2017 20:12

Mmm lovely countryside and horses and running around barefoot in meadows..
is there a One Stop there?

flatwhite45 · 13/02/2017 20:13

Professor White is all theory and no action these days

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/02/2017 20:23

Professor don't lose faith now. We're all behind you. You can surf the shit out of this week.

flatwhite45 · 13/02/2017 20:24

Aaahhhh we would have a fucking ball.....however with you at the helm lost, I fear it would end in an illegal retro rave....

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/02/2017 20:25

Sounds amazing not sensible at all. We can dream about anyway Smile

serialtester · 13/02/2017 20:27

Illegal rave?! It could be the third summer of love. I'll bring whistles.

Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 13/02/2017 20:32

I don't think I'd run barefoot around here 😱 I'm not sure where my suggestion of a weekend of therapeutic cleaning turned into a barefoot, horse riding rave Hmm Grin sounds fun though.

flatwhite45 · 13/02/2017 20:43

Ha ha fairy dust....you gave us an inch and we took a mile.....I would run for the hills if I was you

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/02/2017 20:57

It could turn dark with fairy holding us against our will and forcing us to clean the very big house in the country after the rave of course, which Fairy is being very accommodating about Shock

I think I'm hallucinating with this cold though.
