You should technically be on a high after your run, serial maybe the rain has dampened your endorphins? Confused

All quiet in the Lost house tonight. I'm making a volcano model (why do teachers insist on these impossible things? Grin) and having a, wait for it...bath!
Whisky and coke sounds appealing. I've covered your button with a large inflatable lilo so you can't push it.

ZiggertyZaggerty · 28/02/2017 20:27

Snow I hope you are being kind to yourself and fwb is still supporting you. If you can stay strong you will feel ace tomorrow. Promise x
Serial a wet run deserves a hot bath and I will be on top of the large inflatable with Lost to cover the destruct button!
We've just had an offer accepted on a new house so I want to 'celebrate' but luckily oh is vetoing anything other than alcohol. So - still clinging on to that board.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 28/02/2017 20:34

Congratulations, zig that's great news and gold star Star for Mr. Ziggerty!

One of Dh's customers gave him a nice bottle of wine so we're drinking that. It would be ungrateful not to.

ZiggertyZaggerty · 28/02/2017 20:45

Thanks Lost! Enjoy it - I love a 'posh' bottle or two of wine, it feels like such a treat. I've got the last of the box of white wine from the weekend #classy Smile

ZiggertyZaggerty · 28/02/2017 20:52

Sorry just thought as it's mn I should've said 'naice' not 'posh'.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 28/02/2017 21:00

Don't worry, I'm the sort of person that gets the silver bag out the wine box to drink the dregs Grin. Not posh at all here.

serialtester · 28/02/2017 21:08

I regularly play the bagpipes with the blessed silver bag on a Monday night.

For any casual readers of this thread that was not code for excessive drug taking.

Feel flat this week (emotionally, not our manc friend!) flat, tired, bored and generally pissed off.

Hahahaha! Serial and Lost How cool that I'm not alone! The bagpipes really made me chuckle!! You can squeeze the fucker as hard as you like but always think there's more in there than it's giving you! SQUEEEEEZE!

ZiggertyZaggerty · 28/02/2017 21:24

Serial This week will get better. Keep on running (there's a song in there somewhere) it will keep you sane. It sounds boring but think of the long goal - by the weekend you will feel so amazing (I'm jealous just thinking about it!)
We are planning to do dry March won't last 2 days so hope to feel 'achieved' by Friday

serialtester · 28/02/2017 21:26

Thanks Zig! Good luck with dry March! No bagpipes for a month?!

Night surfers hope snowball ok, and we all keep surfing.
Proper emosh tonight for no reason again, don't know what going on with me x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 28/02/2017 22:25

Playing the bagpipes is genius Grin

Dh said he's giving up chocolate for lent, apart from chocolate biscuits and he's allowed fudge (not a drug ref. for casual observers Grin) I'm not partaking in all this Lent stuff.

Hope you wake up feeling less flat tomorrow, serial and more pumped (?) sorry too pissed to think of the opposite word to flat.
Hope I haven't made my surfboard too slippery with wine Confused

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 28/02/2017 22:27

Hug for emotional (( pickle )) We all love you Flowers

Inarightpickleandchutney · 28/02/2017 22:34

Thanks lost addiction is addiction and it's something im fucking prone to.

Fucks me right off sometimes.

Night surfers x

LadyRivers1 · 28/02/2017 23:40

Hello!

Think I might have found my people....really struggling with coke use at the weekends, spend all week saying nope, not doing it then boom, Friday comes and it's like I've sneezed into a flour bag 😳. Really need to stop it though, it's spiralling out of control. My best friend who I go out with does it too and I have a feeling she's nowhere near ready to stop, and I think for me to stop would involve stopping seeing her for a while.

Totally get the stuff about double lives - that's exactly what I feel like at the minute and I don't like deceiving my "real life" friends, who are growing increasingly worried about me.

So good to get this off my chest!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 28/02/2017 23:49

Welcome to our thread, Lady Smile
I'm really struggling with weekends too so hope you stick around. It is hard to conceal it sometimes, I get that x
Have a surfboard! I'm off to bed now but hope to see you back here as we hurtle towards Friday.

We have a Lady on board so best behaviour guys Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/03/2017 07:53

Well made the idiotic decision late last night to get something with Dh. Blush

Feel awful, look awful and have a really full on day today [fuck this] What the hell was I thinking. Sorry team.

flatwhite45 · 01/03/2017 08:42

Poor you lost!!! Been there done that! Take it easy on yourself, these are all experiences for our bank of motivation to stop. Can you get yourself one of those nutri drinks? Also a few sneaky ten minute power naps can do wonders to get us through the day. Am willing you on 💐

LadyRivers1 · 01/03/2017 09:11

I'm a Lady in name only, trust me 😉.

Oh Lost 😢. Take care of yourself today and be kind to yourself. It's so hard to fight it when you're close with someone else who does it eh? Take the day a little bit at a time.

I've planned to stay at one of my RL friends on Friday which is my trigger night, she doesn't know about my sniffing but knows I want to knock going out on the head so will physically sit on me if I get any urge to go out. Now I'm regretting that choice but I know I'll have a lovely time when I'm there. Ahhhh!!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/03/2017 09:18

Thanks. You're so nice it makes me want to cry. No one should feel this much trepidation on a normal Wednesday morning. This is ridiculous.

Lady Good plan. I think I'll have to come with you. Confused

LadyRivers1 · 01/03/2017 09:23

Ugh The Fear (it deserves capitals) is awful! Keep plugging through and think of bedtime tonight.

The more the merrier! She will actually barricade us all in and then feed us bacon rolls in the morning as a reward!

flatwhite45 · 01/03/2017 15:10

How are you lost? Hang on in there BrewFlowers

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/03/2017 16:56

I'm a shell of a person today, flat but a bit better than this morning! Was practically having a panic attack about going to work on 2 hours sleep, so that was a new low. Sad
Really can't keep doing this, it's absurd. Was so pleased to keep off it at the weekend and now this major cock up.

I honestly believed what I'd told myself; was going to have a couple of lines and get to bed by 1 at the latest. Of course that didn't happen.
Can't believe I fall for my own bullshit.

Anyway, enough moaning! Hope you're bursting with Mancunian health flat Smile

serial and pickle hope you're feeling a bit more chipper tonight and everyone is on board tonight.
