Morning all BrewBrew

User wow you were busy last night whilst we were all asleep! Thank you for the pep talk for today. I really think we are all going to need to dig deep and have a plan to get through tonight. So we know witty is on a cleaning mission tonight.....I am going to a hot yoga class then shower then bed, what's everyone else's plan?

INeedAWittyNameChange · 17/02/2017 08:06

Just having my breakfast and then it's all systems go. Upstairs windows already open to let in some fresh air. Music will be blasting!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/02/2017 08:33

Morning surfers Smile

Hope your head is ok today user? ConfusedGrin I did chuckle about your exploding scotch eggs in the microwave at 2 in the morning! I'm imagining you spotting that this morning and thinking, what on earth?

Sounds like we're all keeping busy today. I have my two nieces today to tire me out. We're off to a little farm later..

Hot yoga sounds pretty hardcore, flat hope you're are all relaxed and centred and ready for bed after that.

Have a great Friday x

flatwhite45 · 17/02/2017 09:12

You too lovely lost!! Cleaning I expect you to be polishing up that surfboard ...

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 17/02/2017 09:46

Indeed I will. I hope I'm wrong but that other thread seemed like a piss take. Too many cleaning references for my liking. Plus why start your own thread complete with 'witty' title about cleaning. Hmm

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/02/2017 10:05

I've posted an invitation on that thread for the Op to join us if she needs support..

It is annoying when we have to question possible bogus threads but if you're genuine, coldhands, you are more than welcome here.
I can't be posting on both threads, I spend far too much time looking at this one as it is!

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 17/02/2017 10:11

Again, I hope I'm wrong. But the thread does read like an amalgamation of all our experiences rolled into one Confused

However, if I'm wrong then I do genuinely apologise!!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/02/2017 10:37

Actually, I can see that Wink

Hope you're having a productive day today, Cleaning and channelling your inner turkey.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 17/02/2017 11:13

Yep all good here! Big plans tomorrow so no dabbling tonight.

FYI dh is considering joining MN Blush So if MrCleaningLikeAMotherFucker pops up in the next few days, I promise he's the Real McCoy Grin

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 17/02/2017 11:14

To be clear, he's thinking of joining this thread on particular, no interest in MN in general Wink

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 17/02/2017 11:25

Hi all, what's the other thread?

I'm just for a quiet weekend, Pt cancelled my consultation this morning as he'd double booked! So we went for breakfast instead 😂💪🏼at least that helped me stay on the straight and narrow last night though.

Tomorrow will be two weeks for me so that will help tonight.

Have a good day everyone!

serialtester · 17/02/2017 13:16

2 weeks is fab got!! Unbelievably I'm at 6 today!

Tonight I'm going to the pub. Possibly dangerous but I'll wear a wet suit.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/02/2017 14:00

I'll be 2 weeks straight surfing as well, Got. I always seem to fall over at the 2 week mark so determined to push through that this weekend. Feeling positive at mo.

Well done, serial 6 weeks Smile
Going to the pub and keeping off it is a bit like doing a fancy trick on your surfboard and not falling off. A handstand or a small somersault.

Had fun at the farm with my nieces. Black suede boots weren't sensible footwear, silly me Grin
We saw a huge black turkey there which made me laugh. He was quite aggressive and made threatening gestures at us Shock

Oh and Mr Cleaning is more than welcome to join. All new comers welcome!

flatwhite45 · 17/02/2017 16:23

Ditto to mr cleaning joining ......all welcome. Glad you had fun at the farm lost.....funny about the turkey, he wasn't on a surfboard by any chance?

Had great day with the kids and a couple of their friends, massive park walk, with lunch and swings, now home chilling. Am getting some bad thoughts but trying to keep occupied! Lost, got, cleaning and serial you are all doing so well, I fear I am trailing behind at just under a week! Good motivation though Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/02/2017 16:38

Hmm, thanks flat don't feel I'm doing that great, keep getting devilish Friday thoughts popping into my head Confused.

Actually in a really good mood, it's been sunny, the kids have broken up for half term and their holiday mood is rubbing off on me... Oh dear, I feel like I'm in dangerous waters already and it's half fucking 4 in the afternoon.

I'm eating some Krave cereal as a distraction, how ironic Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/02/2017 16:39

witty how is your cleanathon going? Are you collapsed on the sofa admiring your work?

INeedAWittyNameChange · 17/02/2017 16:46

Lost thanks for asking. I'm just finishing up the living room. Going to have a cup of tea then tackle the kitchen which is the last room. I'm knackered!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/02/2017 16:57

Blimey, witty you have some stamina! Yes definitely give yourself a little tea break Brew Cake

It's such a great feeling when it's all clean and ship shape, Smile

flatwhite45 · 17/02/2017 17:05

Oh fuck, DH won't be back in time for me to go to yoga and I just opened up an envelope with a cheque for a lot of money (refund on a credit card overpayment) throw me some arm bands now!!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/02/2017 17:10

Tossing armbands, a rubber ring and a lurid pink lilo your way..

Can you wack the heating up when the dc are in bed, put a leotard on and watch a You Tube yoga tutorial?!

(make sure you close the curtains).

flatwhite45 · 17/02/2017 18:44

Errrr how is everyone doing?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/02/2017 18:55

Struggling a bit with Storm Turkey Sad

Feeling a bit discombobulated with triggers everywhere like a Wild West film. At the moment I'm on coffee and a few fags and keeping busy with cleaning up after dinner and stuff.

Calling on the megaphone over the waves; Is everybody still on the surfboard?

serialtester · 17/02/2017 18:57

Been to the pub, now home and cooking dinner. Am planning modest wine and an early night. Waters currently calm.
