In light bulbs Citrus! That's genius!

Citrus I've had some success with keeping myself in check on nights out by literally planning it all out in advance in my head. It's a bit tedious but helps me stay in control. I'm hoping it will become like second nature to me Hmm
It doesn't always work but is sometimes better than just seeing what happens on a night out (and we all know what happens!)

I hope you understood that. Not sure I know what I've written there Grin

The more times ticking on the more Im thinking ah fuck it I can have a few and I won't feel too bad tomorrow maybe....who am I trying to kid 😂

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2017 16:20

Oh no, Got I think you're having an attack of the dreaded Tunnel Visionnnnn. Keep your head!

INeedAWittyNameChange · 03/03/2017 17:16

Thanks Cleaning but I'm not sure I'm up to your standard yet!

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 03/03/2017 18:53

Well yes I guess I could be pregnant... I'm definitely late but I'm putting down stress Confused I did a little bit of cleaning today but I'm on the sofa again now.

OMG at the lightbulbs. Though the heat is not good for the product as it may get damp.. you know.. just saying... not that I'd actually know or anything Grin

INeedAWittyNameChange · 03/03/2017 18:58

Thank goodness for your post Cleaning I thought I'd killed the thread!
Whatever the reason for your tiredness just be kind to yourself. Housework can wait.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2017 19:03

You've definitely thought this light bulb thing through Cleaning Grin

Take care of yourself and take lots of vitamins. (my answer for everything!)

Our dealer just text offering some on tick.Shock Courtesy calls from drug dealers, whatever next. Oh lordy.

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 03/03/2017 19:07

Lost tell him to fuck right off 😂

I'm so torn! I feel tired so should probably just go for an early night, but....but....dh and our friends are in the kitchen having a drink and going to go to the pub if I decide to have a quiet one. I'm thinking of tomorrow morning! Surely I CAN have just a drink.... nah I can't 😂

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2017 19:08

Bless you, Witty, you could never kill the thread, we all talk too much Grin

Hope everyone's still on board. I'm having a couple of beers, with the soothing sound of gunfire coming from the kids' XBox in the background. And later washing my hair.. It's all go Grin

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 03/03/2017 19:14

Hi all - so lovely to see you all still here and doing so well! And so many new joiners too 😊 I am hoping to be back on the surfboard again too, very soon. Just keeping my head above water at the moment.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2017 19:15

Massive respect for you Got if you can swerve it. It's SO tempting it's ridiculous isn't it? Can you just have a couple of drinks indoors and then let them go out? Confused

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2017 19:16

Hug for ((Spun)) Are you ok sweet?

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 03/03/2017 19:27

Hi nineties, thanks for hug, very much needed at the moment. But I'm doing better every day!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2017 19:38

You've had a difficult time Spun so cut yourself some slack Flowers
I've got you a brand new surfboard waiting and I'm not going anywhere. You're going to be ok! Smile

HoochiMama · 03/03/2017 19:44

Clinging on to the surfboard for dear life here. Have got the raging hump and half way through a bottle of wine. On the plus side there is no way of me getting any unless I go through a friend who I don't want to see.

Ha Citrus talking about furtively searching... I once went through someone's kitchen cupboards at 5am cos we had run out and they thought they had hidden some there. Saucepans etc everywhere! Found it eventually and it didn't end well Confused

Can't wait for tonight to be over. Is it bedtime yet?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2017 19:53

Thank goodness they didn't forget and cook their MIL a nice casserole in the drugged saucepan Shock

Keep surfing, Hooch the thinking is to acknowledge the craving and surf over the urges as they come in waves. Fun eh?

I find having a bath and getting pyjamas on helps and anything to distract you. I feel the same, keep fantasising about it Blush

HoochiMama · 03/03/2017 20:03

Thanks Lost, DS will be back soon so that will distract me. Might pretend it's a Monday night not Friday, maybe that will help Hmm

Keep surfing surfers xx

sundaymorningbringsthedawnin · 03/03/2017 20:07

Well there is still some in the house but I am studiously ignoring it and plan to have a bath and early night so I will have a clear head tomorrow. Thanks for your kind words and good thoughts to you all, it really is a white knuckle ride at times!

serialtester · 03/03/2017 20:08

Been out for a post work meal and drinks. Am home now and not long out of bed - which is pretty sad!!

Keep surfing you lot, and remember CONTROL YOUR BALLS!

Wow Sunday that is impressive willpower! Well done x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2017 20:14

Blimey Sunday I never have leftovers! I'm astounded at your willpower and overall ballsiness and hope you enjoy your Monday night bath.

Me and my balls still have a connection, serial. Good darts with stopping at the meal/drinks combo.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2017 20:16

Quite tempted to pop round to Sunday's and confiscate the leftovers..

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2017 22:24

Just popped back on and Amazingly quiet on the board! I'm hoping this is good and we're all tucked up in bed or did I miss the coach to Columbia? Grin
Been watching TV, now all pyjamarated and sooo tired.

Armbands available on request in the morning x
