I find exercise really helpful. And it mitigates (in my mind) against all my bad habits!

Thank Christ you have a mono brow. You are human after all. Wink

Drink a bottle of wine - run 5k. Smoke 30 fags - do a bike ride. Spend all weekend snorting - do fuck all.

Oh! I've also remembered snowball
Some yoga type stretching helped the pains I got in the backs of the legs, sorry I'm rambling now but I need to post it before it falls out of my sieve brain!

This morning Lost I felt sub human after a pub/rugby incident yesterday! Went for a run tonight and felt better. A line or 6 and a bottle of whisky would have been better.

Today I've been able to smell and taste it. If it wasn't a Monday I'd be making a call.

It's a system. Can you run in a straight line after a bottle of vino? Shock

I quite fancy the endorphin rush from exercise, a healthy buzz has got to be worth a try..

Inarightpickleandchutney · 27/02/2017 21:50

serial yep the smell!! It's so strange how I can still almost taste it.

I do the same thing with wine and food.

Bottle of wine : salad for one day
Two bottles of wine: salad and 30
Day shred video.

As far as I can see it cancels it out!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/02/2017 21:55

Mmm 6 lines, whisky and fags.

Great Monday surfing Smile and good luck tonight, snow. Let us know how you're getting on.

Shall I do a fitness DVD? Get in shape for being tucked up?!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/02/2017 21:58

A 30 day shred video sounds horrific. The mind boggles.
I wouldn't mind a Shrek video (Hee Hee.)

Inarightpickleandchutney · 27/02/2017 21:58

Ok,
I'm off to bed surfers, thank you all again for distracting me so I've another day ticked off.

I need something new to obsess over, ideally something non harmful!

Might come back with some ideas if anyone feels like chipping in please do!

Night Smile

A fitness video is inspired. I think we need sponsors and before and after pictures.
Before pictures can be taken in cleaning's kitchen, 8 hours into our meet up, wired off our heads and necking whisky from the bottle.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 27/02/2017 22:04

The Colombian diet and fitness program that's taking the world by storm...
I can see it now...

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/02/2017 22:05

I'm completely tucked up here too Grin (sans moustache) Night all.

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 28/02/2017 09:51

Morning all, how are you Snowball?

Cleaning and flat how are you both doing?

Snowball426 · 28/02/2017 10:22

Morning

I always thought there was never enough hours in the day to do everything. Guess that's due to me living in my own little bubble world.

Last night felt so long.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 28/02/2017 12:02

Good afternoon lovely people.

Well done snow last night couldn't have been easy! Good stars for you StarStarStar

You're spot on about the weird slow time thing! I found that and that's what I meant about keeping busy and occupied, filling the void. At first everything seems quite slow and dull. Your brain will rebalance if you keep off it.

I think it gets much easier and time does go back to normal, or a new normal, and you start to appreciate life not being so chaotic and you find a new sort of inner peace.

Hope you understood that load of waffle Grin

Have a great day everyone Flowers

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 28/02/2017 17:37

Hmm yes where is Cleaning? Hope you're alright? You better not have gone to Columbia without us Grin

serialtester · 28/02/2017 19:39

Good evening. Lost is correct - non coke time is slooww. Keep busy. Take it hour by hour. You can do this snowball.

Am cold, tired and wet after a rainy run home (sorry lost!) Want a whisky and coke (am bored with life etc...) Feel self destructive but can't push that button tonight.
