Unicorn - you've done amazing to pull yourself back from that addiction. I can understand the need to help numb the pain. Sorry that your son is so poorly. I hope he won't be in hospital for long. Thank you for sharing your story. It's given me hope that I can stay clean too x

serialtester · 21/03/2017 05:43

Unicorn, hope your son gets better soon. Well done on 2 months.

Morning all Brew
Feeling more determined than ever to keep on the board. Yesterday was like a bad dream, I just hope no one at work noticed I was on a coke crash Shock [paranoid face]
Pickle we're all behind you if crazy work friend gives you shit today. Don't let her beat you down!

Have a good Tuesday everyone!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/03/2017 18:58

Evening all.
Day 2 on the surfboard and still feeling a bit spaced out. I'm finding odd things really irritating today! Dh has come home from work really tired and grumpy. Our Sunday night high was SO not worth it!
Just Ubisoft having a normal evening here of cooking, cleaning and kids bickering.

Hope everyone is fine and dandy.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/03/2017 19:00

Sorry! No idea where the random Ubisoft came from. Confused

serialtester · 21/03/2017 19:53

Whatever ubisoft is I want some! My DH is also tired and grumpy. He's REALLY annoying me!

Snap! It must be grumpy husband Tuesday.

Who types Ubisoft without realising? I think I be going soft in the head.

Evening all, bitchy McBitchface ignored me all day and that was fine by me, think I've found a way that our paths don't need to cross.

Had a fairly decent day actually, went swimming with DD after school which normally I dread but today it was actually quite refreshing for a quick hour.

Needless to say I have now fully pyjamarate and intend to be asleep about 2.5 minutes after DD.

Hope the guilt has passed lost, sometimes you almost need to relapse to double check definitely yes you don't like it and yes that was indeed your mind playing tricks on you!

Hope all other surfers are doing
Ok, no word from snowball?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/03/2017 20:11

BitchyMcBitchFace can be her official name now Grin

Glad you had a better day. You have a weird six sense for this surfing lark, Pickle because you are completely right. I did relapse sort of to check what it was like. If that makes any sense. You explained it better.!

I am already at pyjamaration station. Comfort over fashion must mean I'm old.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 21/03/2017 20:13

Ooh also!! My work has an annual Easter egg decorating contest, just for fun but there is a MASSIVE posh chocolate egg to be won from hotel chocolate.

Obviously I must win and beat bitchy McBitchface.

I have seen some very cute minion designs.... Anyone here got any ideas?

Display ideas?

Anything really that will help me kick her ass in the most passive aggressive way...

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/03/2017 20:15

Will have a think Pickle. You MUST win this.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 21/03/2017 20:24

I know, don't I?!! I'm thinking something along the lines of having an egg box, plain from the outside then you open it to minions with Google eye or eyes? Maybe paint the box yellow... I don't know but I must win, or if I don't win she can't either!!! She's so rude.

HoochiMama · 21/03/2017 20:26

Evening all. Pickle, I just googled Easter Egg decorating ideas and look what I found... Ones with snorkels!!

Wave your snorkel in the air like you just don't care!
Inarightpickleandchutney · 21/03/2017 20:30

hoochi that is AMAZING!!!

HoochiMama · 21/03/2017 20:31

And flippers!

Inarightpickleandchutney · 21/03/2017 20:38

This is what I'm playing for... That and to kick her bitchy McBitchface ass!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/03/2017 20:38

Minions would be good because they all have different faces, hope you're good at painting! Dd might help.
Someone where I used to work did an amazing egg decorated like Nemo in a glass fish bowl with seaweed.
Or just some emojis ? Good luck!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/03/2017 20:41

Brilliant Hooch That's me on the left Grin in the pink shorts with the vacant expression.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/03/2017 20:44

£75 for an Easter egg? Shock It must be incredible what the fuck's in it?

HoochiMama · 21/03/2017 20:53

You have to win!! I like the Minions and egg box idea. Get on google, there's loads of ideas. Lost, that's exactly how I pictured you Wink

Inarightpickleandchutney · 21/03/2017 20:56

I know... It's super mega posh!! So I need to up my game!!

I work at a school, it's a high end expensive private school... I'm a cleaner, and they looked quite surprised when I said I wanted to enter, BMcB just rolled her eyes.

Therefor I must win. Since I clean the canteen and they go on and on about organic and healthy eating maybe I could go with a garden theme and make them into vegetables?!

Inarightpickleandchutney · 21/03/2017 20:58

I'm now thinking there must be a way to incorporate cleaning into Easter eggs...
Right I'm off to plan my triumphant win!

Any idea at all, don't be shy!!

I will share out the chocolate equally amongst surfers!

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 21/03/2017 21:06

My favourite ever was when ds and I copied this. A balloon that looks like an egg but decorated to look like a rabbit. It definitely stood out. You could add a snorkel lol

Wave your snorkel in the air like you just don't care!
CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 21/03/2017 21:07

Yy to organic, scatter carrots around the rabbit! We painted egg shells orange and had green pipe cleaners poking out as the foliage. He/we won that year lol

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 21/03/2017 21:12

Like this but real blown eggs and we cracked some so they looked like munched carrot tops. He was in nursery, I was clearly one of those mums Grin
