I'm thinking of Catherine Tate's Nan...fucking liberty!

Pickle just coat yourself all over in Brandy and Vicks so all bases are covered Grin

Afternoon lovelies, apparently Dh brought some home last night but I was in bed so thankfully swerved it. I've had a lovely day with my Dd and am now looking forward to a week of feeling nicely clear headed with zero paranoia and self hatred

Inarightpickleandchutney · 19/03/2017 17:09

I'm running a Vicks/brandy bath as we speak!!

Full pyjamarating happening, lemsip and steaming has resulted in more rancid stuff so hoping this is beginning of the end of this....

Pickle, I had this bug a few weeks ago and the shit I coughed up was incredible. Am still slightly mucusy now - which I'm sure you're at thrilled to hear.

There is a downside to recovery from coke addiction. A little known one. After 10 weeks I need a remmington nasal hair trimmer!

Mmm a mentholated, alcoholic bath..Shock are you ok Pickle?

Sunday I left dh at the pub last night and could tell when he came in he'd had a couple of lines off his friends. I've only got to look at his face and listen to the way he's talking to tell. I have a Coke Radar Grin

Had a really pleasant day with the family. You're right it's nice not to have the fear and paranoia and that awful drained feeling today. I'm actually starting to feel quite high on life. I have drunk 6 coffees today though Confused

Witty are you feeling alright after yesterday? How are your nasal hairs? I'm just asking for purposes of research.

Kinetic How have you been today? I'm a little worried about your small stash.

serialtester · 19/03/2017 18:10

Lost - It's so touching that you're worried about kinetic's stash!!

But seriously kinetic AND snowball check in.

Everyone else, examine your nasal hair. For medical reasons!

Yes not sure why I'm fixated on the stash of rocket fuel! Hmm

If it does burn off nasal hair I wonder what it's done to the rest of my insides..

serialtester · 19/03/2017 18:28

TBF the proliferation of nostril hair is the biggest threat to my abstinence!! I can live in denial about my heart etc!

I'm so vain! Cos of not being fucked up for the past 10 weeks and doing exercise and shit to beat the cravings I noticed today that I have visible abs!! For the first time in my life!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 19/03/2017 18:51

Over the last year or so I have noticed I have real trouble with keeping it in my nose. Now I know why - bald nostril syndrome.
I may write a doctoral thesis. Where's Professor White when you need her.

Check you out Serial the body Tester; you're fit! Keep the positive benefits of clean life coming.. I need the motivation.

serialtester · 19/03/2017 18:54

I would post all my tips but the nasal hair is obscuring the keyboard!

serial I fully and completely understand the sudden need for a Remington nose trimmer.

10 years I had no need, next thing I'm examining DH eat hair trimmer!

Phlegm update: it's gone from luminous green to a mustard yellow.

I know... I am a catch....

Pickles image consultant... I'm just off to dragons den.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 19/03/2017 19:00

Investing in a Remington maybe a good move, you don't want the nasal tendrils blowing in the wind and obscuring your view when cycling.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 19/03/2017 19:02

Just to clarify I didn't actually have a Vicks and brandy bath!!

Inarightpickleandchutney · 19/03/2017 19:03

I used my boots points to purchase myself a nose trimmer last year.

It's stopped the nose Afro beautifully

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 19/03/2017 19:07

That would have been such a waste of perfectly good brandy, I was a little concerned.

Nose Afro ? I now have a nasal hair complex.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 19/03/2017 19:10

Yeah, nose Afro! It's what I say to DH when it needs attention!
I have one or two that sprout and curl.
God I really am a massive catch...
Hot to trot!

FruitCider · 19/03/2017 19:16

Ooh I found you all! Sorry I disappeared, couldn't find the new thread!

Hello!

Sounds like you are all doing well. Coke is a bitch to kick I've been told.

Been googling about loss of nasal hair from using cocaine... not found anything online, but I'm curious now!

kineticmagnetic · 19/03/2017 19:31

Evening all, had a good day today. The stash is away awaiting my next moment of weakness Confused

FruitCider · 19/03/2017 19:49

Noooo get rid of it! High five for resisting temptation with it sat there so far but flushing it is the best and kindest thing you could do for yourself right now x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 19/03/2017 19:55

Hi Fruit we're still all practicing our surfing!
I think we've made a nasal hair discovery. I'm thinking we should all style it out. It could be the next craze like bushy eyebrows. # embrace the nasal hair.
Mine is still just short blonde stubble on inspection. Will keep you updated..

Good news Kinetic Smile I wonder if you just like having it there like a sort of comfort blanket, you know just in case?
(sorry I seem to have turned into an armchair psychologist Confused)

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 19/03/2017 19:57

I definitely couldn't cope with it sat there. I'm not sure how you do it!

Inarightpickleandchutney · 19/03/2017 20:04

lost you are absolutely right!

It's a thing... The panic of running out or not knowing where or how to get some more.

It is absolutely a safety net, I did it all the time.

It becomes an anxiety when you get close to the end of your stash and you start to think about ordering more, or when you can't, grieving the end.

Just to clarify for any more recent surfers, I have had far too much therapy and even annoy myself...

Inarightpickleandchutney · 19/03/2017 20:05

Do you think we could get #noseafro trending?! Grin
