Je voudrais un Stella Artois et le cocaine. (That's not part of the maths homework by the way, it's on hobbies)

serialtester · 09/03/2017 19:27

Oui, all day long Grin
Talking of Snowball, Where are you? Has your night off the board gone pomme de terre shaped? (sorry don't know the French for pear).

Struggling tonight, beer's going down well and I'm in a good mood Confused

serialtester · 09/03/2017 19:46

My google translate just blew up in shock Grin.

I'll be alright. If I've learnt anything, it's don't try to be French when you only know 5 words that the cravings do pass if I can ride them out. Wink

Hi all, snowball, cleaning, witty...hope you are all okay?

Iv got a pounding headache/migraine so no Thursday feeling here! Off to bed, see you in the danger zone tomorrow!!!

serialtester · 09/03/2017 21:04

Tomorrow is 9 weeks for me. Been a fucking long 9 weeks too!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 09/03/2017 21:19

9 weeks is SURFTASTIC Smile

Sorry you're rough today, Got, migraines are horrendous! Get well soon, early night sounds good.

I'm in bed already all tucked up like a sensible elderly person.
See you for some tricky surfing practice on Friday. Bring your day-glo armbands..

DustyDuck · 09/03/2017 21:24

Couch-surfing here but DP just announced he's going to the pub after work tomorrow for A pint and A line. One?!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 09/03/2017 21:29

"I'll just have one line and then I'm off home" is not something I've ever heard coming out of the mouth of a coke fan Grin but we'll give Mr.Dusty the benefit of the doubt..

serialtester · 09/03/2017 21:31

"just the one to liven me up" - 12 hours later....! Maybe he has more self control than a middle aged woman!

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 09/03/2017 21:36

..or my old classic; "we'll do a bit and save the rest for another day" Hmm
Dusty let us know what happens. Mr.D wins a surfing certificate if he can do it. I get where he's coming from, I do sincerely believe what I tell myself at the time and forget I can't do moderation!

serialtester · 09/03/2017 21:45

Oh yes the "we'll make it last..." logic!

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 09/03/2017 22:04

Seems so logical at the time though Confused

Hoping for some safe surfing tomorrow. Off to bed now, I'm cream crackered (and I've turned cockney) Good night me old chinas x

DustyDuck · 09/03/2017 22:10

Well he'd better come back early and sober, he has to get up for work at 6am.
I think for me anyway it's better to abstain OR say yes I'm going to go for it, rather than pretend I'm not going to and 'accidentally' slide off. That's what my plan is for Saturday, I'm not going to go all out just have a night out.

DustyDuck · 09/03/2017 22:12

If there's any left...

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 10/03/2017 14:29

Afternoon surfers, I am not in the danger zone this weekend. Dh is working all weekend and I'm staying at my mums Saturday so we will be fine because if we dont drink then we won't touch anything and won't be drinking.

How's everyone doing?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/03/2017 16:40

Hi Got Hope your personal training is going well! Sounds like you have the weekend all planned out. Have a good time with your mum. Smile

I've had one of mine off school today with a bug so I'm quite bored, it's Friday, it's payday..all a lethal combination!
Also have a weird headache in one eyebrow which is annoying.

At the moment we're planning to chill out at home tonight, maybe a couple of drinks, and possibly climbing the walls later Grin

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 10/03/2017 16:49

Ahhh the dreaded Friday night 'couple of drinks' has lured me in and off my surfboard many times....last week as an example haha if you can stick to a couple of drinks you have more resolve than me.

Hope your little ones perked up a bit soon.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 10/03/2017 16:49

Evening surfers, all good in pickle land. Glad it's Friday, awful woman at work has been sacked which will make things much nicer.

About to head to McDonald's with DD and hopefully chill later with a single wine

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/03/2017 17:10

Glad it's all peachy on the board so far. I'm just going to stick to a couple of beers tonight, Got I don't want to make my board too slippery Confused and write off the weekend.

Pickle that must be a relief. Have a celebratory Wine

INeedAWittyNameChange · 10/03/2017 18:29

I'm still here - have just been watching from the sidelines. During the week is never an issue for me as I rarely see my OH. He says he doesn't take anything during the week either - I'm not sure I believe him but that's up to him.
Can I ask - does anyone else find they have an addictive personality generally? If it's not coke is it wine or cigarettes or shopping? I've never smoked and I'm not a big drinker but I'm definitely an over-spender (mainly on cleaning products just now!)

Inarightpickleandchutney · 10/03/2017 18:37

witty 100%, me!

I never moderate at all.

I'm attempting a single wine this evening as I've overdone the alcohol like no ones business since I stopped the snow.
