Thought I'd pop in to say hi. Have been spending most of my time cleaning and hanging out around the cleaning aisle in Tesco (and that is not a euphemism!).
But the weekend is calling and after a manic week at work I need a surfboard to cling on to (preferably a nice clean shiny one).

serialtester · 02/03/2017 20:48

Snow, you've done amazingly. My story is regular use until November ending in a massive binge where I thought I'd Od'd. Clean until January and here I am.

Witty, good to see you again!

Snow - your goal? What you're doing. Cutting down. You will fall off the board but you are trying. Fucking well done!

Big respect for snow It will get easier and you will stop being annoyed by everything from people on the tele to the way your partner breathes!

Well done serial for getting some fag training in before the event. I'm going to aim for a personal best in the bagpipes section.

Agreed, I think we all have the party animal gene Confused

serialtester · 02/03/2017 20:53

I should have said "you MIGHT fall off the board" Sorry - but I think we all know it's a step forwards etc...

But Snow I am SO pleased that you've taken this first step!

Playing the bagpipes is a field event - so not in the triathlon. Different discipline Lost.

Don't think too far ahead at the minute snow just taking baby steps, day by day is what I found easiest. So pleased you've pulled yourself back from The Very Slippery Slope. Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/03/2017 21:00

Ok serial you'll find me lying down in a field then. With possibly a Bronze.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/03/2017 21:02

Welcome back witty. I love the cleaning aisle. Willing you on for a clean weekend.

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 02/03/2017 21:08

Snow that Is amazing well done! Our goal? To keep our money for better things, to not abuse our body with that shite, to not feel so awful and to keep our septums 😹How was your night?

Serial eight weeks is great well done!

Iv spoke to my husband and said we are not our friends entertainment. He said he knows and he feels like he's not bothered and wouldn't be doing anything if it weren't for her. I'm not doing it Iv decided. Do not want to feel crap and waste Saturday.

serialtester · 02/03/2017 21:10

I'll be lying further down the field managing the out of control balls Lost. The bronzed ones!

Ooo the danger zone is right enough! I'm already thinking of excuses not to go to my friends tomorrow! I've finished my assignment and just want to get on it.

The party animal gene - surely there is funding for research for that 😂

LadyRivers1 · 02/03/2017 21:16

Sorry if I'm not mentioning names etc, I'm just trying to get used to the flow of this thread

Snowball426 · 02/03/2017 21:16

Thanks what's your all saying makes sense. Sometimes you just need someone else to say it too.

Serial - yes my goal is cutting don't and taking back control of things.

Got - yes agree with all your points there. I also really enjoyed the night! Haha probably one of the few things that could take my mind off it!!! He's got talents!!

Inarightpickleandchutney · 02/03/2017 21:23

snowball!!!! Fucking amaaaazing beeeaaaych! Am slightly emosh at your achievements it's a fuckton of challenges and you've done Everest girl!

Top gun theme once again tomorrow

My balls need to remain clenched!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/03/2017 21:26

lady I'm not sure there is a flow to this thread, it's all over the place Grin

I think we could offer ourselves up for research into the party gene, with government funding of course.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 02/03/2017 21:29

I think there could be a research facility near the holiday home in Colombia?
Googling it now ladies I'll report back

Snowball426 · 02/03/2017 21:32

Hahahahaha pickle

I love that!!!! I'm already in the lift talking about the mig 42!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/03/2017 21:33

David Attenborough could study our innate party animal behaviour (from behind a glass screen, we don't want to corrupt him).

Inarightpickleandchutney · 02/03/2017 21:36

Turns out... The research facility IS our holiday home in Colombia!

What a coincidence!

I will ring David now and get his people to call our people!

'Now we see the surfers in their natural habitat' Grin

LadyRivers1 · 02/03/2017 21:37

I'm totally up for all of that 😂😂

Donating our bodies to medical science, for a good cause you know. Even better it's in Colombia Grin

I wonder if observing us would finally cause him to retire....

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/03/2017 21:41

"It now looks like one of the surfers has put a drum and bass tune on at extraordinary volume which is causing much excitement amongst the surfer tribe. This is extraordinary behaviour from the party animals"

serialtester · 02/03/2017 21:42

"and in their natural habitat we have female party animals. Observe them sniffing, playing the bagpipes, surfing and controlling balls. Only found in the deep jungles of Columbia. Aren't they interesting?"

Can I join you please? I've been lurking for a while and I have been clean for a month but seem to have taken a tumble tonight Sad

serialtester · 02/03/2017 21:45

"the party animals respond to white lines on the ground, their evolution has resulted in the road markings we see in the modern world. In their natural state they nuzzle the white lines affectionately"
