Is shopping for a weekend in London a euphemism? Confused

Lobbing an orange rubber ring your way pickle...

I think we can do this. My coke seeking missile brain has calmed slightly by using the distraction method. Namely by watching a crappy programme called Celebs Go Dating and sipping lager.

Oh I can't stop... I just can't shut the valve.. If I drink at least I can't drive to pick up.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 24/02/2017 19:30

Yep shopping is a euphemism x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/02/2017 19:36

Gosh what a posh euphemism, we just say, Shall we get some/you want to get some? in a chavvy fashion. Grin

Don't pull the valve out of your rubber ring for gawd's sake, it'll deflate!

Inarightpickleandchutney · 24/02/2017 19:42

Yep, it's are we shopping? I know it's daft but I've always said that! Not posh at all to me Smile
Wine 3 underway..

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/02/2017 20:02

It's weird how we''ll skirt around actually coming out with it if you know what I mean, everyone has their own code words. Almost like it's not so bad if we don't say it out loud. Wink

Still surfing here. Just riding it out.

Cleaning are you ok?

8 weeks? On the whole fine but at times would sell my soul for a line.

I'm going with rat pack sweet harmony and 3 blind mice

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/02/2017 20:57

Well those are some edgy tuuunnnnez apart from 3 blind mice? The nursery rhyme or am I seriously out of touch. Grin

I'm on 1 week clean tomorrow. What a fucking amateur. I'm really banking on the cravings going away after a few weeks or at least it not being so bloody alluring in my mind. I always think that relapsing sort of reignites the craving?

I may be talking bollocks.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 24/02/2017 21:04

It spaces out after a week or so, have faith!

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 24/02/2017 21:31

Hi I'm just home. Went to shopping centre an hour away, shopped and had some dinner and came straight home got pjs on and into bed shattered. Dh comes in, 'x just text he's coming with a henry' said no he fucking isn't. No way.

So he isn't. My resolve is strong!

Come on we can DO this. It's not worth it. It's a waste of cash. It's a waste of a weekend feeling shite the next day. Not fair on the kids feeling and being shite the next day. Fuck the surfboard and walking on water tonight! WE CAN DO THIS!

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 24/02/2017 21:32

*fuck the surfboard IM walking on water tonight

Inarightpickleandchutney · 24/02/2017 21:35

YESSSS!! That's what I needed to hear thanks!!!!!!!!!!

ZiggertyZaggerty · 24/02/2017 22:14

Hello, can I please have a some rubber rings?? Long time lurker - overboard (so confident!) tonight. So glad to hear you talking and know how you feel. Only a couple of my female circle know this side of me. To most I am respectable, occasional wine etc etc! Jeez - it's a compete double life sometimes! It's the guilt the next day I hate the most- I'm an older Mum and adore my ds - but I can't seem to stop the feeling of liking getting trashed...?!! Btw I'm an avid radio 4 listener and live in the country with dogs and a horse so hardly out clubbing in the city. I just can't say no when my oh comes home with gak... God it feels good to write this down. Bet I'll die of shame in the morning! Thank you for listening xx

serialtester · 24/02/2017 22:18

Got - go fucking you!!!

Zig - welcome to the madness. Have an arm band we're all fucking nutters!

Inarightpickleandchutney · 24/02/2017 22:21

Oh the double life I know all about!
I had a very High Brow career for years til recently.
I went on client meetings, suck ups to the fund managers, then went home and lied to everyone I know, so welcome!
On a different note I really don't like horses and DD does and has asked if she can go to riding lessons.
There's a bit of me that thinks sure that's normal
For where I live but a million miles away from what I actually am...

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/02/2017 22:26

got seriously impressed by the walking on water. You have earned the tag The Messiah.
Thanks for clearing up the 3 blind mice confusion Grin. I spend too much time with small children.Confused

Ziggerty welcome aboard Smile I'm nodding sagely at your comments. I think you are one of us my friend.

Just nicely a bit pissed here. Feel ok but obviously I would bite your hand off if you offered me a bit Blush
Have some reservations about going to this do tomorrow gahh. Please don't let it get messy.

Cleaning sending out big love to you. Hope you are A ok. x

ZiggertyZaggerty · 24/02/2017 22:27

Thanks serial (not sure how to 'bold' you!) I think I must be the oldest of you (43) but still like to think I'm in my 30's. It's so weird - it used to be for going out or 'romantic' nights (hah!) it seems to be so normalised now. Will check in tomorrow. Glow-floats for all x
