ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/02/2017 21:17

Wahey two nights out. I have faith in you serial you can do this.

See you in The Danger Zoooooooonnnnnne

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/02/2017 21:21

Oh good luck, Cleaning You are brave and ambitious. At least you can fantasise about telling the wanky director what you think of him on your last day Grin

Inarightpickleandchutney · 22/02/2017 23:33

Hi surfers sorry I've not checked in today I am extremely drunk and absolutely desperate to sniff but can't. Reminding myself why but that fuck for auto predicted as I'd look a twat without it. God I love this thr ad when is coach departure to Colombia?

Inarightpickleandchutney · 23/02/2017 00:07

Oh god I. I. Buts surfers I'm suddenly obsessed with it.

How I've been so long... Drinking but so sad it's over X

Annt words of wisdom x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/02/2017 09:44

Morning all.
Hope your head's alright this morning pickle Smile I don't have ant words of wisdom Grin but well done for not succumbing last night. Cravings are definitely worse after several drinks, I try to remember that it's my addict brain talking, it's not my rational mind at all. Hope that makes sense!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/02/2017 09:49

I suppose my ant words of wisdom would be, never try to carry a leaf that is more than 10x the size of you and stick with your ant colony, don't venture out too far on your own.

serialtester · 23/02/2017 09:52

My ant words of wisdom are stay out of the sugar bag.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/02/2017 10:50

Great advice there. Ant + sugar bag = party over .

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/02/2017 16:25

Hope you're looking forward to your night out tonight serial. Don't forget it's all in the planning, none of this playing it by ear nonsense.
In the style of Dr Lost, a mantra always helps. I'm thinking; Drink wine but no line or Don't get antsy and fall in the sugar
Of course you can think of your own and don't forget to enjoy yourself.
Emergency arm bands are available on request.

Hope all my fellow surfers are doing well. Brew

serialtester · 23/02/2017 16:33

I really really am! Am going to get ready in a bit. Properly dressed up!

Stick a snorkel in your handbag and party like a pro surfer. Wine

Dc are out with grandparents so I've hoovered woohoo, now dyeing my roots and doing my nails as wedding guest preparation. Rather jealous of your night out, it's great fun getting all dressed up and going out out.

I'd say don't do anything I wouldn't do but that's probably crap advice.

serialtester · 23/02/2017 16:56

I will be good lost!

Channel your inner Yoda my friend.

serialtester · 23/02/2017 18:15

Channel I will
Decided to wax my tache (why?!) and now have a big red comedy moustache ffs.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/02/2017 18:25

Sorry but Grin I'm pissing myself. Stick a load of Sudocrem on it for an hour to calm it down, it'll be fine with a bit of make up on.
Wish I was coming on your night out, the surfboard is very quiet tonight! Having a lager with dh at mo. and watching Robson Green go fishing, it's pretty tedious.

Cleaning how is your crusade against nicotine going?

Inarightpickleandchutney · 23/02/2017 18:29

I can confirm I spent the whole day feeling hideous and had to be sick several times.

Only just about feeling vaguely okay now.

So so so glad there was no sniffing it would have been much worse.

Funny how the urges when pissed don't go away.

Thanks surfers xx

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/02/2017 18:40

Hope you're feeling better soon, pickle. Try to drink (non alcoholic!) and eat something.
I'm a bit like you, I have no "off" switch sometimes and go completely over the top with things. Well done for not going down the white path, so to speak Smile

I hope our ant words of wisdom were of use to you.

serialtester · 23/02/2017 18:44

Pickle, I will be feeling hideous tomorrow! Glad you're feeling a bit better now and at least you haven't got a bright red moustache!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/02/2017 18:50

I'm on my way over in a cab. Be very afraid. This doctor can party Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/02/2017 18:55

*not really. I have visions of you locking the door and looking nervously out the window. Shock

The tache will not show up now it's dark. I'm sure the venue will be dimly lit. Wink

Inarightpickleandchutney · 23/02/2017 19:17

I'm sure the tache will have died down, I did sear my earlobe with hair straightener before a night out once, agony and it developed into an attractive blister!

The ant tips have helped!

I was not fitted with an off switch at birth, think I was missed off the list for that one!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/02/2017 20:14

I did have a memorable beauty disaster when I decided to shape my eyebrows once with Immac. We've all been there Confused

You'll be alright, pickle. We'll convert you to the way of the surf. Wink

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 23/02/2017 20:51

Just popping in to say hi, everyone seems to of had a very clean week so far! Snorkel on for the weekend!
