Oh gosh Spun I hope you didn't write that description of your Saturday night on the Getting Ready thread Shock. You'll give some MNers a hernia Grin

Nice to hear from you. Saturday nights are difficult for me too. My brain just seems to associate coke and weekends. Hopefully we can help each other.
I get what you mean though, I have some brilliant memories of partying on drugs but I'm probably looking at them through rose tinted glasses a bit. Some of it's definitely hazy..
Hope you're feeling better in yourself? Smile

Watching a thing about the 90's. TRIGGER!

Pahaha, no, there'd be pearl-clutching galore.

Thank you, sorry I'm not around much. Wallowing in my own self pity still, but actually feeling a lot better than I was a few days ago. Thank you all for being so supportive.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/02/2017 17:50

Glad you're feeling a bit brighter, Spun It's ok to feel like you do, you've been through a difficult time Flowers I think you're doing great.

What are you watching Serial? That sounds like my sort of programme.
Were you ok this morning? You didn't wake up with half a kebab stuck to your face this morning? ..!

serialtester · 11/02/2017 17:52

I slept like a baby and felt surprisingly ok this morning!

It's Saturday... It's officially dark outside...

costababe · 11/02/2017 18:01

Evening!
Made it through last night, by the skin of my teeth,, the extra wine and a couple of cigs helped, along with the last min work appointment for this morningHalo
Now in full on Saturday evening mode with some deep house playing and a wine Hmm

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/02/2017 18:07

mmm I'm considering wine, might take the edge off or possibly weaken my resolve Confused

Thanks serial, you slept like a baby? So kept waking up crying then and wet yourself? Grin He hee.

Deep house is v. triggering for me costa , although I can sometimes get a rush when I hear a Tune without taking anything which is great very odd.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 11/02/2017 18:09

No no no no stop with the house music people for the love of God 🙈

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 11/02/2017 18:09

I need a cigarette Confused

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/02/2017 18:12

Oops, sorry cleaning maybe you need a bit of laid back jazz or something?
Are you being a good surfer tonight with both armbands on?

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 11/02/2017 18:19

Me and dh have both said we can't be bothered with it tonight. Been out for lunch and shopping and tired now. Going to have a cup of tea and bit of cheese cake for dinner!

Got a fair amount of driving to do tomorrow and dh is totally moody so think I will have an early night.

How are you all feeling bout the night ahead?

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 11/02/2017 18:24

Took me so long to type and send that there's loads of messages to catch up on.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 11/02/2017 18:25

That's good get although less so about moody dh.

I'm struggling personally but I'm going to get out of the house in a bit to clear my head Smile

costababe · 11/02/2017 18:26

Ok so my choice is house music or football Hmm, so football it may have to beSad
My partner in crime is out on the razz tonight and already sending me wywh messages Envy
DH is being very controlled, and just passing looks my way. Going to the kitchen to keep busy, spicy prawns on the menus, so water and prawn peeling, that's going to help, no?Grin

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 11/02/2017 18:26

Messages are mainly from the weak link over here, needing distraction Blush

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 11/02/2017 18:28

Lost I literally couldn't contemplate won't it's just too much of an association for me. I know if we even have one glass of wine that be it! That's combined with music and id be off the deep end, you are strong costa!

costababe · 11/02/2017 18:29

Ok cleaning, come on....
what about a soak in the tub, paint your nails, or toesHmm I've got a prawn mountain to peel, care to join inSmile

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 11/02/2017 18:30

Have had a shower, nails! Good idea!!!!!!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/02/2017 18:30

That's a bold look, cleaning

Good going Got It's actually a really nice feeling to be tired and going to bed rather than wired.

Snowing a bit here, wish it was snowing on my kitchen counters Sad aargh.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 11/02/2017 18:30

Def nails over prawns, soz!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/02/2017 18:33

Nails are a good idea. At least you're forced not to touch anything for a while. Unless you meant nailing yourself to the floor?
