Morning Surfers! So, I went out Thursday night and got very very drunk and at no point did I even think about getting any gear, yay me! No self loathing here today and my hangover had cleared by the afternoon. I have been busy this morning and got lots of chores done, no plans for any boozing or falling off the board tonight so tomorrow is clear for doing fun NORMAL stuff with my Dd. I do like the view from the drug free smug tree

sundaymorningbringsthedawnin · 18/03/2017 11:36

Just read back through the thread, you are all so lovely,Kinetic and Choccy hope you are ok today. We have all been there, I know I certainly have x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 18/03/2017 11:52

Good to hear you're still surfing with us, Sunday. Excellent progress.
If I can swerve it again tonight, I might come and join you in the smug tree Grin.
I think you have earned your Surfing whilst Pissed Badge Star sew it onto your cozzie!

kineticmagnetic · 18/03/2017 12:15

Afternoon, I'm doing good still Grin
Think the fact I often have bouts of insomnia and so, can function on no sleep is a good thing today!
Think the fact I only had a couple of beers helps too.
Hope you're all having a good day.

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 18/03/2017 13:21

Hi Sunday well done on Thursday that's amazing! Iv got my dd friend staying tonight so there's no way il be doing anything so shall hopefully join you and lost on the drug free smug tree tomorrow! I'm just gutting the house at a slow and leisurely pace. I love straight Saturdays.

HoochiMama · 18/03/2017 13:38

Hey Sunday, me and you both feeling a million times better than last Saturday! Well done for swerving Thursday night Smile I have got so much housework done today rather than lying in bed dying! Am loving the view from the drug free smug free although better make sure I don't get too smug and fall off!

Zig - I have to admit I am a bit Jel, glad you're taking it easy with it, sounds like rocket fuel!!

Have a good day everyone, I'm off out tonight but with 'sensible' people so hopefully will remain firmly onboard Confused

HoochiMama · 18/03/2017 13:40

What's wrong with me? I meant Kinetic well jell with the rocket fuel! . Der I blame my age Hmm

Hi anyway Zig Hope you're not feeling too bad x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 18/03/2017 14:11

I'm jealous of the whole package Kinetic gets. Wine of your choice, a direct line to the big boss, on tick, door to door and it blows your head off! Shock

I'm making do with a strong coffee and a digestive here.

Lots of people in the drug free smug tree Smile We'll be having a sensible tree party tonight. Bring drinks, nibbles and your surf boards. It's a big tree.

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 18/03/2017 14:18

Lost I'm not jealous, that package would be far too tempting for me!!! 😢

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 18/03/2017 14:25

You're right. It sounds like heaven but it'd actually be a recipe for disaster for me!

kineticmagnetic · 18/03/2017 15:07

It is a perfect set up if you can hack just using socially. I only know the people I know through my ex-he is someone who only deals with the best of everything (no idea how I slipped through his screening for so long).
The stuff is too strong for a lot of people and too expensive! But they are a nice group of lads and I've always just got on with them.

Definitely rambling now! No sleep is hitting, just got in from DDs drama class-was hard work!

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 18/03/2017 17:57

Spent hours and hours cleaning the house. Now could just chill out watching Saturday night tv. Dh is moaning he's bored. It's so boring having nothing to do etc etc. Have told him to just go to the pub or something but none of his friends are available he said driving me mental! I seem to be able to just chill out at the weekend than he can. Found myself saying I will have a few vodkas then said no actually I'm not just doing that to keep you happy. Grrr

INeedAWittyNameChange · 18/03/2017 18:07

I expect my Saturday night is going to go the same way as every other one has for the last few months. Zero will power.

serialtester · 18/03/2017 18:15

What's the shipping forecast for tonight? Have been in the pub watching the rugby - am on the verge of being French.

Witty that's a defeatist attitude have some more faith in yourself and you could be surprised or do you have someone leading you stray too?

HoochiMama · 18/03/2017 18:24

It's hard when your dp is egging you on. I find it hard enough and I'm by myself. My ex-dp was bang on it and we were a nightmare together. Had 2 bf since and both did it too, I obvs have a certain type! On the flip side I do it cos I'm bored and no one to entertain me! I have been cleaning all day too and must say getting a bit restless on the drug free smug tree Going to get ready to go out with my 'new' friends. Haven't met them yet, it's a local meet up group - yikes Confused

serialtester · 18/03/2017 18:31

I couldn't imagine my DP being my partner in crime. That must be so hard. If my DP knew about my coke habit he'd die of shock.

Evening all Wine
Got sounds like your dh is clucking for a line! I get like that sometimes; bored, can't chill, argumentative.. and probably really annoy dh Blush. Hope his mood improves.

Hi Witty perhaps you could try cutting down on Saturdays, maybe doing every other line or smaller ones? That will prove to yourself that you do have will power. And you won't feel so bad tomorrow. You're only doing it once a week at the moment so it's fairly controlled. Good luck!

Had a quick drink in our local with our nice but very straight laced neighbours, now home and trying not to let my mind drift into dangerous waters. Confused

ZiggertyZaggerty · 18/03/2017 18:35

Got and Witty - I really wish I hadn't got so crazy last night. I felt fucking awful today - truly hideous. Physically and mentally. Just think about how you will feel tomorrow before jumping in the stormy waters! I know how hard it is when it's there in front of you though Confused

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 18/03/2017 18:41

Ooh good luck with your local meet up group, Hooch!
I hope you meet up with some like minded people. Obviously it would be just your luck if you get there and realise you've turned up to the Cocaine Appreciation Society's annual get together. Grin

Shipping forecast in my region; Choppy waters could be hazardous and watch out for a slightly drunk woman spotted on a surfboard in the area.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 18/03/2017 18:44

Oh Zig I'm sorry you're feeling so awful. It was a bit of a session wasn't it? Doctor Lost prescribes an unhealthy dinner with melted cheese on it, bath, and immediate pyjamaration.
Stick this day in your motivation bank for the future Flowers

ZiggertyZaggerty · 18/03/2017 18:46

But if it is the 'C.A.S' Hooch - can we come with you next week?!!! Grin

ZiggertyZaggerty · 18/03/2017 18:56

Thanks Dr Lost - I shall follow your orders with immediate effect. Clearing out the attic really wasn't what I needed today (why have I kept all my^^ bank statements from 1989 ffs?) Stay on board Lovely Lost** - you truly don't want to feel like me tomorrow Sad

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 18/03/2017 18:59

Zig I won't be touching anything my eldest is having a friend stay over to tonight. It's my dh thats climbing the walls. To be honest he is making me feel totally shit. Like life with us isnt enough for him. Hes bored, fed up, kids are annoying him. Doesn't want to just chill and watch tv cause he hates tv it's shit apparently. So i said play the computer. That's shit too no ones online to play against. Okay well go out. No ones up for it. Go to gym. Can't be arsed. 😡👊🏻

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 18/03/2017 19:00

And zig sorry you have felt shit but you should feel proud you were still productive...cleaning the loft! I'd never do that never mind with a come down. I lie on the couch with chaos descending around me 😂
