I did it! 10 hours of lovely sober sleep and I'm nicely nestled in the drug free smug tree. Today will be a good day Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/04/2017 10:56

Praise the Lord, it's a Sunday miracle! I don't think I could have done that.

Thanks Lost. I'm off to a garden centre in a bit, just like a normal person Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/04/2017 11:29

No fear and loathing in the garden centre for you today (or hiding behind plants in a paranoid way because you've just spotted your neighbours and are too spangled to chat) Grin

I've hung out the washing, had a lovely coffee sat in the sun and now off to Tescos like a normal responsible adult.
We rock!

ZiggertyZaggerty · 02/04/2017 18:29

Hey surfers! Can I join the Normal Norman club too please?!
Hope everyone enjoyed the sunshine today - especially Pickle.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/04/2017 19:14

Evening all.
Yes welcome to Planet Normal, Zig where the residents have average nasal hair, healthy sinuses and go to bed at reasonable times. The only dealers the Normans and Normas know are antique dealers.

Was a lovely day here. I've done all my chores and caught up on East Enders, now being the homework facilitator with a glass of wine.

DustyDuck · 02/04/2017 19:33

Checking in for board duty after a pleasant evening and with a relatively unstuffy nose. Suffering a little bit now it's caught up with me but steak and chips will put that right.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/04/2017 20:04

Welcome back, Dusty Smile Enjoy your steak!

kineticmagnetic · 03/04/2017 17:34

Oh my god, you'd think after the comedown from hell I'd be off the idea but tonight I'm itching

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/04/2017 17:58

Ride it out Kinetic you know you can, it's just a case of finding your inner balls.

It's bizarre how our brains conveniently bypass the million reasons why it's a bad idea and just focus on how that first hit will feel! Confused I find it a massive effort to fight that. It's usually strongest early evening.

Has something triggered you today Kinetic? I know you've been finding things tough with your break up but (apart from a couple of hiccups!) you've been doing really well. Flowers

kineticmagnetic · 03/04/2017 18:04

I think it's just having done it again recently, it's made the offers come pouring in. Thinking of getting some half strength/third price stuff instead

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/04/2017 18:12

Ah the bloody courtesy calls from dealers!

The cheap stuff will probably be really disappointing when you get it. Hmm

Put your snorkel on and surf the urges with me if you can x

kineticmagnetic · 03/04/2017 18:27

Trying Confused
Very close to drowning

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/04/2017 19:58

Kinetic are you still on board? Confused
Try to keep busy and distracted. Bath and Pyjamarate early!

Had a really busy day here so about to jump in the bath myself. Hope everyone else is surfing. Pickle hope you're bearing up.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 03/04/2017 20:51

Hey lovelies, I'm fine, thanks for checking!
I've been trying to be kind to myself and so had my nails done Friday as school finished for Easter, haven't had a drink for 2 days and am pyjamarating pronto.
I got pissed Friday and Saturday and was teetering badly on my board.
Kinetic cling on, one hour at a time.
Sending love to all you surfers, love this thread

Inarightpickleandchutney · 03/04/2017 21:02

Kinetic you know it will be shit, absolutely shit.
Banging headache and the emotional nightmare isn't worth it.
Cling on!! Flowers

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/04/2017 21:29

Hi Pickle so glad you're feeling a bit brighter, still surfing and have lovely nails!
It will be a welcome relief to have some time off, enjoy your break Smile
Really knackered tonight! Night all x

kineticmagnetic · 03/04/2017 21:40

I got 4 cans of sugar free fake red I'll instead and downed them. Nothing like being on it if anyone else wants to try!
Stayed clear though, pjs and friends from the start for me tonight. Thanks all x

kineticmagnetic · 03/04/2017 21:40

Red bull, not red I'll

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/04/2017 21:45

Has it given you wings? Grin

Well done you, old episodes of Friends sounds like a plan x

Inarightpickleandchutney · 03/04/2017 21:57

Kinetic I adore friends! Well done you for surfing on.
What's your favourite episode?

kineticmagnetic · 03/04/2017 22:25

One of my favourite bits is when Monica comes running through saying 'I'm getting married today!' Then she falls over :) it's just so well acted :) I am too heavily invested in friends, currently on disc 3-roger the psychiatrist who they all hate, keep forgetting little bits and it's making me smile x

Inarightpickleandchutney · 03/04/2017 22:34

How can anyone be.... Too... Alan?!
The other favourite of mine is the 'what might have been'

kineticmagnetic · 03/04/2017 22:42

I could have a gallon of Alan!

Ross is about to return his egg. Caffeine is wearing off a bit now, think it's time to limit to 2 more episodes, got an interview in the morning Confused
