"Sorry I can't help at the school fete, I was up all night shovelling cocaine up my nose and necking whiskey and I'm finding it hard to string a sentence together"

Snowball426 · 06/03/2017 21:39

Sorry lots of others too. Two many to mention by name. But you know who and thank you. I mean it xxx

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/03/2017 21:39

Yes where is the lovely Pickle ? Hope work situation has improved?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/03/2017 21:55

I feel the same, Snow Having a support thread full of like minded people has really helped me cope at times. Let's face it, kicking this stuff is damn HARD!

Snowball426 · 06/03/2017 22:14

lost - I agree we all need a group hug !!! X

Snowball426 · 06/03/2017 22:22

Because of you's I've managed a week off from 3g a day. My fwb has done since 4am sat just because he's seen me do it. He's even thinking about giving it all up. 2 those who know me u know about him and how much that is x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/03/2017 22:28

Big up for Snow ! It's a huge achievement. Fwb can join the group hug Grin

I'm now toddling off to bed but massive well done from me x

HoochiMama · 06/03/2017 22:37

I know I'm fairly new on here but have been following the thread from almost day one and I have to say as well as being a massive help to me you lot are all so funny! The 'mini bus to Columbia' night with the David Attenborough observations was hilarious Grin

Well done for supporting each other so well and Snow you have done amazing! xx

Hi surfers! Sorry I've been a bit quiet recently. Had to make a statement about someone at work, about a bloke that's been making hideous comments about a lady I work with.

Awful man has been sacked and will now receive a copy of all the statements people have made.

It's hard to stand up to someone especially as he's a giant loud mouth but telling this lovely lady that she and her friends shouldn't be allowed to speak to each other in their first language is just not on, so I'm glad I did say something.

It's been a hard one to navigate as my go to strategy is always the White.

I've taken strength from snowball and all the other surfers, if you lot can do it then so can I!!

At school yesterday, doing the usual 'nice weekend?' Chats I nearly said:
Well I've spent the weekend pacing the floor wondering how I could bosh 2g and a case of wine and invent a time travel machine to go back and make it all ok.

I refrained (barely)

Honestly the difference in my head and the rest of the school mums seems to be pretty bad but I've got you lot so Grin

Inarightpickleandchutney · 07/03/2017 07:09

Oh PS!!

I've made some
Preliminary enquiries into a mortgage for the Colombian holiday home...

I'll have my PA email round the quotes and details.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/03/2017 08:06

Pickle The work situation all sounds very tense, I hate standing up to people! You handled it well Flowers

In the pub with some mums on the last day of term, I forgot myself was a bit tipsy and when one of the mum's asked how I stayed so slim, I replied "drugs" Shock
Not my finest moment, but luckily they all thought I was joking and fell about laughing Blush phew.

Here's to another good day on the surfboard Brew

Inarightpickleandchutney · 07/03/2017 08:22

Thanks lost it's great having the support of this thread. Really helps to get it all out!

Snowball426 · 07/03/2017 18:25

I'm no hipicrite I've taken a night off out of choice and I'm going bloody enjoy it!!!

No surfboards for me night, skinny dipping under the moon for me!!!!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/03/2017 18:46

God, snowball I'm seething with jealousy Grin.

I can't have a night off without taking far too much and making myself ill for days after Sad. Just remember Pickle's advice about your tolerance going right down after a time off it, so you'll need less than you think. x

serialtester · 07/03/2017 18:51

Snowball, no one is ever going to go from daily use to total lifelong abstinence just like that. You've proved to yourself that you can cut down. Enjoy your night off the surfboard and Yy to the tolerance thing.

I'm soooo tired tonight! Is it Friday yet?!

Snowball426 · 07/03/2017 18:55

Had a couple of cheeky lines, going in the bath now and meet fwb!

I better get some benefits!!! Haha X

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/03/2017 18:55

No it's fucking TUESDAY arrgh.
Do you fancy getting a cab to Snowball's?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/03/2017 18:57

I'll turn up and be a passion killer, Snow Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/03/2017 18:59

Serial it's probably the after effects of your weekend drinking making you tired. We're not spring chickens any more It takes me days to recover!
Take it easy tonight Smile

serialtester · 07/03/2017 19:07

Yes, let's steal a car and go to Snow's! She'll be distracted with FWB and won't notice us breaking in.

Lost, being French is clearly exhausting!

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/03/2017 19:14

I'll bring the Tunes and lager, you can bring the fags and some stockings to put over our heads (to retain our anonymity) Wink

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/03/2017 19:15

Actually, we're going to need nose and mouth holes in the stockings, I haven't thought this through.. Confused

serialtester · 07/03/2017 19:15

I'll have to cut out nostril holes though. I'm very practical.

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/03/2017 19:17

and I'll need a translator in case you turn all French again.
