Ok we're banning white unless it's white wine or Barry White (the love walrus we can't ban him)
Keep surfing people.

I'm here and I'm OK. I've been to Wilko to stock up on all my supplies for tomorrow. I love that shop! It's like Primark - you go up to the till with a huge basket of stuff thinking its going to cost a fortune and it just doesn't!

Thank you lost, any old school lyrics only point to those w*e lines running through my mind Grin I can't believe I use the word cunt on here but I use stars for a colour!

Wooohooo well done witty! I know what you mean about the getting to the till, it's fab!

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 16/02/2017 20:35

I've scrubbed my stove and microwave tonight. It's a bit choppy my end but hanging in there (just about)

Ha ha Flat that's brilliant!

This thread is influencing me too much. I had a stressy day today and had a bath with wine,DH, pizza and cake. DH thought I'd lost the plot Grin

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 16/02/2017 21:54

Back from getting dh, the drives tired me out and I managed to surf the waves. However, I have a confession.... the shake diet only lasted till 1pm then I had a toasted crumpet and a McDonald's for dinner oops! Haha oh well trying to battle a food and coke addictions maybe too much. Where's the cake!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/02/2017 21:56

flat that is our official flag emblem. How funny Grin
fairy that is a bath and a half. Shame you couldn't fit your horse in too..

You fellow surfers make all this so much easier so thankyou everybody.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/02/2017 21:59

Don't tell personal trainer, got you've still done well. Wink

Good luck with your first session tomorrow.

user1486723488 · 17/02/2017 01:33

Well, looks like I am back just in time for the mega cleaning session. And hell, does my house now need it. Been quite a week for me - got fags (yay), got pissed in the process - as in 2 days away on the piss (not yay at all), fell in a hungovertohell hole over that for another 2 days, then ended up with firemen and police here this eve cos some twunt of a neighbour with land nearby lit a fire and left it burning whilst he went home, had supper, a few drinks, blah blah - pick a song about living in the country. The upside is that twunt has, unknowingly, written a whole chapter of my book for me.

So, wander in here and find, horror of horror, what looks like a trolly DM thread has taken our number 1 spot. Are they phishing for a story or wot? Have spidery senses over that. Apologies hugely if I am off the mark, but....

BUT, we have a flag!!! WOOT woot. And I bet if you turfed that turkey off the surfboard, you would find a gleaming, non-powdery granite fin shining below the waves. Possibly with several armbands, rubber rings, etc impaled beneath - all VERY clean, no barnacles or anything.

Oh, hang on, am saying "we" cos I feel like I belong here. That's Ok, innit?

Now, to read back and see how serial, got, witty, cleaning and everyone else is really doing....looked good on a skim before posting. Back later.
Brew lying cow, it's Wine (with cork, corkscrew is suing me for abuse and rightly so).

Back a page or two - the heart thing. Oh shit, do I know that feeling. Well scary. There is a pressure point in the inside of your wrist for this. Turn your hand face up, put your other thumb across the inside of your wrist and your fingers around the other side of your wrist so you are encircling it, right by your hand where the two wrist bones are. Now, twist your thumb so it is facing into your palm, bang in the centre of your arm. Apply gentle pressure. Focus on calming down. I am sure someone can find the right explanation for where this point is, best I can do tonight, but it REALLY does work.

user1486723488 · 17/02/2017 01:53

*palm up not face up. Doh!

user1486723488 · 17/02/2017 02:40

cleaning request - advice for a microwave disaster pls. Late night snack - scotch egg. Fkn exploded. Can I send you the microwave?!

Surf is breaking, folks. Get gnarly with those cravings.

(Blame whoever it was who told me about that penguin film!)

user1486723488 · 17/02/2017 02:42

hahaha I feel like the midweek night shift. How do you turn this pink colour off every time I post? I hate pink....... reminds me of that champagne whizz.....well, you said not to mention the bleached upmarket version ;)

user1486723488 · 17/02/2017 02:43

OK, what is that song about ....."lalalalala in the country" ? Doing my head in now.

user1486723488 · 17/02/2017 02:45

Blur, of course it is Blur. Dur.

user1486723488 · 17/02/2017 02:57
