Oh you found us cleaning, I thought you were tucked up in bed with your flu and would wake up and find we'd all fucked off to a new thread Grin Hope you're a bit better.

I didn't think about the book launch party...Shock How to indoctrinate yourself to the way of the surf sounds catchy or maybe Idiot's guide to not taking cocaine as an abridged version.

I think we've written a book. We'll leave the finer details for Cleaning to sort out.
Thanks guys I think that's distracted me tonight. This time next year we'll be millionaires.

Grin you make me laugh!
Ok so had a weekend away booked with the usual crowd, always on the cards?
Managed to drastically control quantity, this is mega for me. Nickname Mrs Greedy Blush and that's compared to the blokes standard, so there.must be brownie points there for me??

Hard going day at work on the Monday and a miserable Tuesday.
Hoping we have a large surfboard for tomorrow night??
Off to bed now after a lovely soak!

flatwhite45 · 09/02/2017 21:47

You know what it would be a disaster for us all, but I would SO love to do it one day.

Have spent the evening sorting laundry, then had a cigarette and some whisky to take the edge off.....its kinda worked...going to get into bed now where it's safe and read a little more on poor Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, feels so sad for her.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 09/02/2017 21:49

Damage control is good Costa. Sounds like you're having a tough week. Fridays are difficult for me too so hopefully we can help each other.
(I'm hooked on baths too Wink)

See you all in the stormy waters aka Friday.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 09/02/2017 21:51

Yes poor Tara Flowers. There but for the grace of God go I.

flatwhite45 · 09/02/2017 22:02

Costa you and me both, I can out snort most of the guys no problem! Oh what a sad accolade...is this really going to be my only legacy to the world?

Well done on reigning it in though, that's a great first step

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 09/02/2017 22:55

Hi guys im back. Was lying in bed and was sure I could smell Charlie and it made me think of you all 😂

Spun glad you are feeling a bit better, your blow out was entirely understandable!

Witty, hi, my husbands my biggest problem actually. When he was working abroad a lot last year it never entered my head. Even nights I say we aren't doing it tonight he will already have it ordered.

I'm feeling good about this weekend. No cravings, not going to be drinking (although we know this can change) dh is away Sunday for the week with work so Saturday isn't a danger zone just tomorrow to get through!

Cleaning, flat, lost, serial you are all doing amazingly well! Flat are you away this weekend again? Can't believe how nice your dealer was 😂 Ours messages practically every week to see if we want an order 😡

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/02/2017 08:21

Welcome back Got Sounds like you're full of good resolve for the weekend. Smile
Come on here if you're struggling later and we'll try to help.

Morning all, feeling quite virtuous today although that could change as darkness falls. Flat Are you away this weekend or braving it at home?
