Morning all I feel like I could fight a bear this morning 😂 Feel amazing, full of energy and ready to take on then world! Have a good day everyone.

INeedAWittyNameChange · 11/02/2017 09:56

Morning. I'm going to buy myself some candles as a treat today for not taking anything last night. Bit of a cheat really as it wasn't my choice so much. But maybe looking at them will keep me on the straight and narrow later.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/02/2017 10:01

It's looking like we all did well last night on the old surfboard.
Brew for any slightly hungover surfers ( serial? Wink)

flat an 8.30 swimming lesson? Shock damn you're good. Halo

Got what a kind gesture Star
Confused Lock up your bears, got's in town Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/02/2017 10:03

Doesn't matter how you did it, you did it! I love scented candles too.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 11/02/2017 10:14

Morning! Sorry for late check in, I was actually up early but I started cleaning like a mother fucker straight away. Grin

I was a bit naughty last night, 3 lines. 2 small 1 medium Blush

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/02/2017 10:35

well I suppose you paddled in some shallow waters, just be careful not to go out too deep. Smile

Glad you're feeling better and you're back to your old tricks; cleaning like a mo'fo'!

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 11/02/2017 10:37

Yep! Being ill and out of action is always a real eye opener as to how utterly crap dh is at cleaning. 😂

But then again I do have a certain level of OCD Shock

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 11/02/2017 10:38

And yy to not going out too deep. I've got my wits about me and one armband stayed on Wink

INeedAWittyNameChange · 11/02/2017 12:03

So I went into town especially to go to the shop that sells loads of different candles and wax melts - Yankee, woodwick etc. And it's closed down! I actually could have cried in the middle of the street. It's so ridiculous but I feel so deflated now.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/02/2017 12:11

Oh no witty I bet that got right on your wick (sorry!)

Sounds like you need a really big hug (((witty))) Flowers Cake

I'm off to do a big Tesco shop and it's pouring with sleety snow here and so cold so not much better this end. I hope your day gets better.

INeedAWittyNameChange · 11/02/2017 12:18

I had this vision in my head that I was going to scrub the house from top to bottom (inspired by cleaning) and have it all lovely and fresh and that would be the start of my new clean living. And now it feels like its been ruined. Which is so ridiculous and pathetic.

user1486723488 · 11/02/2017 12:25

Good day all!

Clean - I sort of unname/surface dropped you, surely?! I want a granite worktop too

The cravings question - best answer I can give is it is a bit like splitting up with someone. At first, you find yourself thinking of them every day, then once a week, then you realise you haven't thought about them for a while. If you hate them, you forget them faster!

Personally, I blame weekends. It's all their fault. If we didn't have weekends at all, it'd be much easier Grin

flatwhite45 · 11/02/2017 12:51

Witty...so sorry about the candle, Would it help to buy one online? Not the same I know..........

User that's a very helpful analogy, thank you

flatwhite45 · 11/02/2017 12:52

Wrap up warm out there lost

INeedAWittyNameChange · 11/02/2017 13:41

Thanks Flat - the online order is already in! I know it sounds so ridiculous and I also know that I'm actually using it as an excuse to justify to myself why it's okay to take some gear tonight.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 11/02/2017 13:47

Omg witty can totally 100% relate to that thought process!!

flatwhite45 · 11/02/2017 13:52

Heee heeee we are all cut from the same cloth.....Confused

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 11/02/2017 13:55

I've decided to look for a new job and need a clear head for that tomorrow so I'm keeping my eye on the prize 💪 just about

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/02/2017 16:34

Good luck with your job search, cleaning A new job sounds very exciting and also daunting!

witty hope you've bounced back from what is now going to be known as The Disastrous Candle Expedition. Wink

Not been too bad today as I've been busy. Once I've done all the kids' tea and relaxed a bit the cravings hit like a Tsunami Confused

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/02/2017 16:39

Thanks for your take on the cravings, non user. I like the analogy of splitting up with someone and how they gradually leave your thoughts.

Sometimes it feels like dumping a very attractive boyfriend and going to live in a nunnery though. Sad

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 11/02/2017 16:53

Oh god witty, I feel for you. Am absolutely addicted to Woodwick candles. I get them from a garden centre near me, although I'm sure there are places you can get them online but postage would probably be a bit pricey.

Well it's Saturday late afternoon/early evening, the hardest time for me. I've just been on the thread about how long it takes to get ready for a night out and it reminded me of the Saturdays before I had DS, where I'd spend all afternoon doing myself up to see ex DP. We'd go out for dinner and a drink and then go home and do the inevitable, and have brilliant sex. I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss doing that. Seems a lifetime ago now.
