Oh Lovely Lost! You and me both off the dry March gig! We all went swimming (the irony) today so we felt healthy, and we treated ourselves to a pub lunch (2 large wines for me) and have a few bottles of Prosecco in for tonight. So much for dry March - but at least we've cut down and there's no sign of the white lady yet. I've been loving waking up to ds with a clear head and not breathing wine-breath on him. (I will need to re-read this next week when my resolve loosens!!) x

Awesome Snow!!! That's bloody brilliant! You are an inspiration to us all Smile
Lost - I'm too scared for a doctor to look up my nose! I always favour the right one as can't seem to snort as well with the left one (21st century problems!) and am sure sometime with a nose-blow in the morning more comes out than should do Confused

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 04/03/2017 19:42

Well done, Snowball but sorry you've been poorly today Flowers
Does fwb find it impossible to stay off coke or does he have to "sample" all his wares for marketing purposes? Confused

You are doing so well, and hope fwb is cheering you on!

Keep strong Zig.We'll aim for a dryer March.. I've got that feeling when you come home from the pub and want to get the party started at home but hopefully that will wear off soon Confused

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 04/03/2017 19:46

I'm right nostrilled too, Zig but I try to not leave the left one out.

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 04/03/2017 19:48

Evening, well I caved. Had four lines. Which is a heck of ALOT less than everyone else and what I'd normally of taken also. Feel fine today if a bit tired but not ill at all.

Early night and looking forward to a fresh Sunday! How's everyone doing?

DustyDuck · 04/03/2017 19:52

I can only use one nostril per session, so that I can breathe with the other one the next day. But I'm left nostrilled by nature. No risk tonight as DD (19) is around so we daren't be naughty 😳

DustyDuck · 04/03/2017 19:53

Got, four sounds like a good night but not wild, well dove for holding off til late!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 04/03/2017 19:53

You sort of took the damage limitation route Got. Still impressed with your ability to say No to it when offered. That blew my mind!

At least you have that super power in you. Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 04/03/2017 19:56

Gold star Star for Dusty this weekend. Your body will thank you!

Well I never, all these different nostril preferences Grin

You know what it's like, if it's there most of us just would.

DustyDuck · 04/03/2017 20:10

Am going out tonight with friends who use. Am wearing a snorkel. And arm bands. Pray for me surfers!

Oh Lordy, Serial I think you should wear the large rubber ring with the duck's head on the front and don't use the toilet all evening.

There'll be no equal opportunities for nostrils in The Bishop world tonight. I'm hanging an official doctor's sign round your neck, "Nil By Nostril".

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 04/03/2017 20:36

Good luck serial! 🏄

Or is it intact? Whatever it is that's what my nostrils are. And I'm not even that pissed either!

Well done Serial! Your snorkel and arm bands worked a treat! Smile did anyone notice? You should be really chuffed with yourself - that's a great feat of will power Halo

INeedAWittyNameChange · 05/03/2017 00:07

The runny nose excuses are funny. It's the air con in my office that plays havoc with mine (apparently!)

sundaymorningbringsthedawnin · 05/03/2017 00:37

Evening all, well tonight wasnt a complete success, managed to hold out till about 10.30 then had to sneak off for a livener. I shouldn't have taken any with me really but even if I hadn't I probably would have still done it when I came home anyway. I feel ok and I'm not intending to carry on for too long.... famous last words and all that

sundaymorningbringsthedawnin · 05/03/2017 00:56

I did possibly save a life though, there was a young guy that was utterly pissed wandering around on the train platform, he was wobbling really close to the edge so I made him lean against the station wall and saw him safely onto the train when it arrived. So that was good Grin

sundaymorningbringsthedawnin · 05/03/2017 02:34

Just wanted to say that I'm a bit worried that I'm not helping you all by posting whilst under the influence. I will completely understand if you would rather I didn't, I'm aware that it is possibly triggering
