Ummmmm so good news, I got the job .... bad news I can already tell how I'm going to celebrate with dh Confused

My toes are already wet Blush

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/03/2017 20:06

Star Star Congratulations Cleaning that's brilliant Star Star

Fuck it, I'm gate crashing your celebration party. Is there a dress code?

INeedAWittyNameChange · 24/03/2017 20:06

Got I had never taken coke before he introduced me to it in the last year or so. And honestly I could stop right now and I wouldn't be the least bit bothered. I wouldn't have any access to it and I'm not aware that any of my friends take it.
I think our relationship was better without it and we've got stuck in a bit of a rut now with it. But I know he has taken it on and off for years as do a lot of his friends and he just views it as a fairly normal thing to do.

Also, in your face Mr Cunty director Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/03/2017 20:08

Sorry, Witty that comment wasn't directed at you! Blush

INeedAWittyNameChange · 24/03/2017 20:10

That's OK Lost I'm definitely not a director - cunty or otherwise!

ZiggertyZaggerty · 24/03/2017 20:11

Congratulations on the job Cleaning! That's great news, and understandable that you want to celebrate. Just enjoy it if you are going for it and don't feel rotten about it tomorrow.
Lost - I think we can safely say we were both twats last Sunday (a SUNDAY ffs!!) I'm sure neither of us want to feel like we did on Monday Envy (sick face, not envy!!)

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/03/2017 20:11

It would be a shame to throw away a good relationship over it, Witty but it does seem like you want things to change. Hope you're alright x

HoochiMama · 24/03/2017 20:13

Lost - I second you are not a twat! Even though we know how awful we will feel the next day we still do it. If you could bottle that feeling and spray yourself with it when you are tempted it might work Hmm

Cleaning - congratulations!!

Got - thanks, wise words.

I am now poor so can't afford to overboard anyway Apparently he has remembered Mother's Day Hmm

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/03/2017 20:14

You're right, Zig That fateful Sunday when we both lost our heads and threw our surfboards out the window.. I surrendered to my inner twat.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/03/2017 20:17

Eau de Come Down: the scent for the party animal lady in your life..

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 24/03/2017 20:26

Congrats cleaning that great.

Iv just put my foot down, dh was wavering and wanting to go get drink if i was up for it and I said no. Eldest has a hair appointment in morning, he has some work to do and stuff to get organised for going away next week with work (it's his own business though) so he's away to watch a film upstairs.

witty how do you feel about him, how would you feel if you ended the relationship? It does sound like it would make things alot easier for you without him around. No more come downs or sled loathing etc.

ZiggertyZaggerty · 24/03/2017 20:28

Does that mean you're getting something nice expensive for Mother's Day Hooch? At least he's remembered Grin
Love the sound of Eau de Come Down - would it smell of guilt and self-loathing?!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/03/2017 20:33

Eau de Come Down: Guilt, self loathing, red wine and fags, and base notes of whiskey and paranoia.
Spray liberally on pulse points when temptation strikes.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/03/2017 20:36

Should we pitch it on Dragon's Den? Deborah Meaden would probably invest a couple of K or publicly humiliate us

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 24/03/2017 20:36

Thanks all!!

No dress code lost, I dress smart for work but I'm a slob at home pmsl.

Neighbours are out, ds is at a friend's, the tunes are on. We are having a final farewell once and for all. We're down to once a week or sometimes even longer but tonight I've totally flipped the Fuck It switch.

Not gonna think about tomorrow just yet. Just so fucking happy to be breaking free from my current company. Gonna try and negotiate a shorter notice period if poss.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/03/2017 20:40

I'm seething with jealousy (not about your new job in a field Wink) but your evening sounds fucking great.

ZiggertyZaggerty · 24/03/2017 20:41

Totally nailed it Lost! On an actual comedown though, we wouldn't even be able to smell it Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/03/2017 20:50

I'm off to pyjamarate and spray myself with come down body spray.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 24/03/2017 20:52

Good for you re body spray.

My scent of choice is on its way. We've shaken hands on it being the final session, getting expensive stuff tonight Blush

HoochiMama · 24/03/2017 21:05

On way home now, at last. Zig - money spent was on DS but he has some of his own to buy me something.

Glad my spray idea is going down well, we could all me millionaires. Are there that many surfers out there??

Anyway going now as I am far too jealous of Cleanings party and don't want to get tempted Confused

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 24/03/2017 21:08

Sounds a great night cleaning. My neighbours NEVER EVER go out. Don't even take the kids out at the weekend during the day. If they happen to be out which has happened about twice in years then her mum's there. I'd love a party like that. Enjoy it.

DustyDuck · 24/03/2017 21:22

Charlie Come Down
In body spray and talc Hmm

ZiggertyZaggerty · 24/03/2017 21:30

Not jealous AT ALL Cleaning! Blush

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/03/2017 21:32

Charlie Come Down! Coming to a PoundLand near you..Dusty you are a puntastic genius Grin

We're all sick with envy over Cleaning's shenanigans.
Cleaning listen out for the doorbell sweetheart I won't be long. I'll apologise now for the nasty perfume. Confused
