All good here. I thought you were all round Sundays searching for the leftovers Wink

HoochiMama · 03/03/2017 22:44

P.s I think we missed the coach Lost Shock

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 03/03/2017 22:44

Everyone's here I'm still surfing despite the lines being dished out. Just drinking slowly so I don't lose my will power!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2017 22:47

Tee Hee, Hooch We could still get a cab over there?

Well done tonight. Fridays are always tricky to surf Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2017 22:52

Actually, the cab's going to Got's house now..

Jesus, Got I'm so impressed. You have super powers and need some sort of medal Star Star Star

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 03/03/2017 23:01

I'm not going to touch vodka as then it will be game over. I'm kind of ostricizing myself if that's the correct spelling they are playing cards at the dining table and I'm sitting on the couch watching tv. I could resist but feeling like I don't want to. My problem is I put off for hours and hours so when I do eventually cave it's late and I think that contributes to the late night/early morning bedtime.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2017 23:08

You are doing great, Got massive hug for you, that must fucking difficult. It shows huge strength of character on your part.
Just slip off to bed in a bit if you can. Remember, Avoid that first line,
everything's fine...
Good Luck Smile

Hello all, may I please join? Been lurking since day 1, I'm also a weekend user and only with DP who introduced me to it a few years ago. I'm trying not to want it every weekend and this is first one this year where there's no party, birthday or fun pub night so I've said let's not. I have willpower up to a certain point but DP really doesn't.

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 03/03/2017 23:14

Dusty that's my problem, my dh! Every line he's putting out he is saying you want one yet? No I don't and told you I don't so stop offering 😡

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2017 23:15

Welcome, Dusty The weekend thing creeps up on you doesn't it? Before you know it, it's less of a treat, more of a habit. You have will power though, that's really all you need Smile

I'm just off to bed now but can chat more tomorrow x

DustyDuck · 03/03/2017 23:16

Got even my willpower would not let me ignore people chopping out in the next room!!

DustyDuck · 03/03/2017 23:20

I guess I don't want to think I'm missing out, or that he's doing it in his own, so joining in somehow feels right at the time. I also have no one else that knows we do this, apart from other people who do, iyswim. Have to invent new allergies all the time as I get a runny nose for days....

CitrusSun · 03/03/2017 23:29

Ah, love you lot, we all just get each other, no judgement or condemnation, it's a constant struggle to say no if it's there in front of us, or make that call, text or whatever to get hold of the damn stuff. Just a while ago, as in a few months back, I was at a house with the biggest silver tray loaded up with coke i have ever seen, knew everyone I was with but a few weeks later one of the guys was arrested and is currently doing a 7 year stretch, apparently that night I was there he had over a million quids worth of pure stashed at the house we were in and we could have all been busted had a raid happened that night, turned out the guy who is now in prison had been under surveillance for a while as big player, I have been to visit him in prison as feel we're all culpable, sometimes you forget that there are consequences, think we take that for granted at times as we're a bit desensitised to the legalities

LadyRivers1 · 04/03/2017 00:27

Hi all hope you're doing ok - I've had a lovely evening at my friends and am tucked up in bed. We shared 3 bottles of wine and I'm rather tipsy, which is a bit disconcerting considering the amount I usually put away but am putting it down to the relaxed environment.

Night 1 of the weekend done, night 2 tomorrow xx

LadyRivers1 · 04/03/2017 00:27

Citrus that's scary stuff!!

LadyRivers1 · 04/03/2017 00:28

Dusty yes to the runny nose! My RL friends think I have a cold all the time!

Inarightpickleandchutney · 04/03/2017 01:35

I'm in a bad sitch surfers, my head not good due to work thing today:: hideous thing that looks like was my fault and I'm heading into waves.

Someone talk nonsense to me so I can sleep and tell you tomorrow the deets?!

serialtester · 04/03/2017 07:42

How are we all this morning?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 04/03/2017 08:47

All ok in the Lost house. So far, I'm surfing the shit out of this weekend Grin

Pickle how are you doing? You sounded very stressed last night..

LadyRivers1 · 04/03/2017 09:24

All ok here - woke up with clearish head and looking at everyone's snapchats from last night, don't regret staying in at all!

Hope you're all ok x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 04/03/2017 09:36

Glad you had a good time with your friend, Lady.
I woke up this morning with sun peeping through the curtains and my youngest jumping on the bed and was just so glad I didn't feel like a zombie today!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 04/03/2017 18:53

Wine Evening all Wine ( Brew for Zig's dry run.)

Hope all lovely surfers are on their boards tonight and ready to ride the rip tide.!

Gone a teensy bit over my semi dry for March limit as went to our local for a few drinks. Back now, home and dry and not making phone calls..

Hope you're all ok and enjoying the weekend (within reason Grin)

ZiggertyZaggerty · 04/03/2017 18:56

Hey, hope you are all on board tonight (or as near as can be!)
Pickle How are you today? I hope your stress has eased a little? Here - catch this MASSIVE rubber ring. I hope it helps x
Dusty and Lady yes yes to the nose thing! I 'always' seem to have hay fever/cold and OH always has a problem with his sinuses Hmm
How are you Got? Did you stay surfing or jump off the board? Either way, I hope you are feeling happy with your will power till late last night. Even if you fell off - you did fucking amazing resisting till so late.
I'm still on board the ocean is like the Caribbean here at the mo - one more glass of wine it could change to a tsunami though - so hold tight everyone x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 04/03/2017 19:07

I get the sinus thing too! High five to Mr.Z.
Sometimes bad sinus headaches. Lord knows what the doctor would say if he looked up my nose, I'm sorry Lost, your nose is full of cocaine probably Shock

Surfing in the The Caribbean sounds gorgeous, I'm joining you there, Zig

Snowball426 · 04/03/2017 19:27

Well another day almost done, feeling so proud of myself. Although I've spent most of the day in bed. Stomach in knots and been sick a lot.

Even fwb says he's impressed I've stayed off it and he'd love too but can't.
