Night xxx

Thanks Pickle

DustyDuck · 07/03/2017 21:45

Happy birthday Sunday, best kind of dessert esp with prosecco! Mid-week birthdays are a pain though. Take it easy Smile

sundaymorningbringsthedawnin · 07/03/2017 21:47

I will Dusty, I can't possibly call in sick tomorrow so will have to rein it in soon

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/03/2017 22:34

Whoops, I was wishing you happy birthday ages ago, sorry Sunday!
I think I'm on a different planet sometimes Blush

Anyway, hope you had a nice evening. My problem is not being able to rein it in, my reins broke years ago Grin.
Hope you manage to force yourself to bed at a reasonable time.x

Thanks for the laughs tonight funny surf buddies, night for me. zzzzzzz

HoochiMama · 08/03/2017 17:28

It's gone very quiet on here. Did the virtual party happen in RL and I missed it??Confused

Snow and Sunday, hope you're both ok?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 08/03/2017 17:54

Yes we're all passed out at Snowball's house. Her fwb fled the party in horror when a horde of crazy coke head women turned up in a clapped out Mini. Grin

Hope you're ok, Hooch? I've been looking after my nieces today, 1 and 3, and I'm knackered. it was full on!
Having a small drink and cooking dinner now and wishing it was friday!
Snow, Sunday putting a call out on the beach megaphone ..Are you ok?

serialtester · 08/03/2017 19:02

I'm still in the bath at snowballs. With the stocking mask on.

I'm now travelling back in the vintage mini, tortured with strange acid like flashbacks to the night before, wearing an extremely laddered stocking mask and clutching Dusty's deflated flamingo.

HoochiMama · 08/03/2017 20:04

Oh Lost and Serial, hilarious! I think you have the makings of a film or at least a mini series there. Fine here although didn't sleep well, think I got over excited with all the talk of clapped out minis, wild parties and falling off the surfboard. My mind was wired!! Keeping a low profile and having an early night tonight x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 08/03/2017 20:11

"Fear and Loathing in the suburbs" A dark film exploring the exploits of middle aged coke addicts desperately reliving their partying days. A vintage mini and buoyancy aids are their only links with reality.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 08/03/2017 20:16

Bath and early night for me too Hooch Wink Hope you sleep better tonight, dreaming of sunny meadows and sheep rather than surreal all nighter parties with a bunch of maniacs x

DustyDuck · 08/03/2017 20:31

"No flamingos were harmed during the making..."
I found £30 in a pair of trousers yesterday morning. Smile

serialtester · 08/03/2017 20:40

"fear and loathing in the suburbs - a bunch of middle aged coke head mums in stocking masks are made to organise a school summer fete"

It would be the best summer fete ever.

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 08/03/2017 20:45

Who was wearing the trousers though, Dusty? Wink Have you resorted to pick pocketing Shock
Only joking, I love it when that happens!

I'm thinking we'll give the fete a summer of love/ festival vibe and spunk all the PTA funds on a free beer tent?

serialtester · 08/03/2017 21:02

Free beer? Full on illegal rave!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 08/03/2017 21:35

Those were the days. Peace, love, unity and respect in a field with Tunes Smile

Inarightpickleandchutney · 09/03/2017 04:53

I've just woken up in my car... I appear to wearing tights as a fl face mask and flamingo pink

I feel sick I've had a crappy day surfers xx

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 09/03/2017 08:07

Morning all Brew
Hope you're alright pickle you were up late or early (depends which way you look at it!) Sorry you're having a crap time Flowers

Have a good Thursday, surfers.

sundaymorningbringsthedawnin · 09/03/2017 17:09

Afternoon all, I am now fully recovered and full of good intentions. I have a night out planned on Saturday but I'm going to drive so won't drink (which is my trigger to throw caution to the wind) I hope I have got it all out of my system now.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 09/03/2017 17:36

Hi surfers I'm doing much better, had a meeting with the big boss today about this lady at work who's been sacked.
She's officially crazy and taken to threatening me with all sorts

I've done nothing wrong and so I'm digging deep to stop a relapse.

Unfortunately I drank 1.5 bottles of wine last night and my nerves are in shreds so anything encouraging please let rip, don't be shy! If I relapsed I'd definitely OD because tolerance so low after 210 days, and u just can't have that!!

I mean.... Who would drive the clapped out mini to Colombia if in not here??!! Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 09/03/2017 17:48

Oh dear pickle nobody needs that crap! How awful.
Hold tight, you've come this far. You don't want to be going down the slippery slope of cocaine as a coping mechanism. That is a very slippery slope indeed. You've given such kind wise words to everyone here so treat yourself just as kindly. Smile

Welcome back to the board, Sunday. I think I have hundreds of triggers , but drinking is definitely one! Let's support each other through this weekend together if we can.

I'm already fantasising about a fat line, but determined to have a clean weekend and stay off it. I'm almost two weeks clean so this is my Danger Zone..aaarrrgghhh.

serialtester · 09/03/2017 18:48

Keep going all of you. I prescribe an early night and a bath for everyone. I'm still in snowball's waving armbands.

You're going to be very wrinkly, Serial

I'm having a calming Carlsberg and ironically helping with French homework tonight Grin Mange tout Marlene.
