Are you new to surfing Peach? I'd love to hear your story. Flowers for your bump.

PeachPants · 22/03/2017 21:16

Well both are great achievements for a blonde like me Grin

Thank you, I haven't posted because I feel like a fraud compared to you all when you have such a hard time, whereas I have no choice!

My last binge was December, when I didn't know yet that I was pregnant Blush but I still have massive urges, the type that keep you awake at night! I sound fucking awful!

Inarightpickleandchutney · 22/03/2017 21:19

Peach not at all! We've been there too, the healthiest I've been was when I was pregnant but my god it was hard when everyone around me was still party mad.

Be proud, and happy you've got a fantastic new life coming!!

Slightly more meaningful than deckchairs for eggs.... Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/03/2017 21:21

You sound lovely. Jesus you're not a fraud to be clean since December, that's amazing. Halo

Inarightpickleandchutney · 22/03/2017 21:23

I know lost!
peaches I guarantee you whatever is going through your mind, one of us will have done it.

Better out than in, so surf rather than make a different choice my lovely, when's baby due?

PeachPants · 22/03/2017 21:24

Thank you, you're a good bunch!

I first started following back on the last thread when there were references to granite bit I never got far back enough to find out why Grin so that's how long I've been here!

PeachPants · 22/03/2017 21:25

Due the end of August and all I can think about sometimes is a massive 'celebration'

Inarightpickleandchutney · 22/03/2017 21:27

Ah you'll be fine! Surf on, just be careful of the bump on the board!

You aren't any good at crafts are you?! I've a BMcB to whoop...

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/03/2017 21:32

The granite was one of Cleaning's biggest triggers as she has beautiful smooth granite worktop surfaces in her kitchen.

The grip coke gets on your mind is insanely strong, Peach I understand that. Don't feel bad about still having thoughts about it, you're surfing strong!

I sometimes get really vivid coke dreams at night where I'm taking it which is really fucked up weird. Does anyone else get those?

Inarightpickleandchutney · 22/03/2017 21:35

I used to, lost, about a month in it went.

Also, I had a milestone birthday and I was pregnant and didn't know.

I was up for days, and the recycling man had to make two trips for the bottles.

All was well.

PeachPants · 22/03/2017 21:38

pickle the extent of my craft knowledge is limited... lollipop sticks (the wooden ones) to make deck chairs are my greatest idea, bit don't ask me how!

See, reading about the granite triggered my mind even though I didn't know the background, so I definitely belong here!

Inarightpickleandchutney · 22/03/2017 21:42

Ok, triggers aside, I am off to google how to make a tiny deckchair.

Peach you need strategy on how to deal with craving so you don't mess up your blood pressure x

PeachPants · 22/03/2017 21:42

I always think it's strange how the binges before we find out don't affect the baby but we wouldn't dream of doing it after we find out!

With DC1 and this one I've found out super early (5-6 weeks) too, so it feels like forever!

Gave up smoking before I found out too as we were trying, that's still on my mind but I can joke about that with people, not so much 'god what a shit day, could murder a line Blush

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/03/2017 21:43

I'm making a comfy space for you in the drug free smug tree, Peach.

Sorry to chuck a massive granite trigger at you. I need to come with a warning.

serialtester · 22/03/2017 21:50

Hello Peach, congrats on the bambino! And thanks for joining in. December is great going, join me in the drug free smug tree! Love new surfers finding us! We're like a fucked up life buoy!

PeachPants · 22/03/2017 21:51

Grin don't be sorry I brought it on myself without even know the backstory!

Yes I'll be a resident for a while, getting my lollipop sticks out to make a treehouse as we speak!

serialtester · 22/03/2017 21:53

Pickle, bear in mind I've had wine but for a deck chair (egg sized) you need 3 cocktail sticks. 2 for the sides and 1 broken in half for the seat upholstered with gaily coloured crepe paper. Can anyone else see my vision here?

OP posts:
serialtester · 22/03/2017 21:55

Actually maybe you need 5 cocktail sticks. 2 for each side creating a faux hinge?

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/03/2017 22:13

You lost me at Faux hinge Grin
I was thinking just bend a big old lolly stick in an L shape and stick your stripey material each end. (I won't be offended if you go with Serial's vision however). I'm new to deckchair craft.

All Pyjamarated up here and off to Bedfordshire. x

Inarightpickleandchutney · 22/03/2017 22:31

I am with you on the vision! I am setting off to the range with an extensive but not exhaustive list.

I will own the faux hinge, and whoops some BMcB asssssss!

Photos to follow tomorrow, natch!

I may turn it into a touring exhibition, me the clapped out mini and my eggs....

May add some bunting

Inarightpickleandchutney · 22/03/2017 22:31

Hang on, could we employ the coach and tour Colombia?!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/03/2017 08:50

Morning all. Smile
Can't wait for egg exhibit of the year photos, and of course the Columbian tour!

Had dramas this morning with my eldest missing the school bus, so now I'm running late..
The whole country is still reeling over the London attacks yesterday, so that certainly puts my problems into perspective.
Hope everyone has a good Thursday Flowers

Inarightpickleandchutney · 23/03/2017 16:18

Hi all, operation egg is underway, having an early night tonight as I bust my ass at work today and I'm really tired
