WAHOOOOOOOOO! Congratulations kinetic xx

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/04/2017 18:13

Good evening surfers.
Kinetic great going on the job front. Maybe downing 4 cans of red bull beforehand helped Grin. I'm sure half the battle with staying off the shit is keeping busy, and obviously you'll be earning money as well, so win, win!

Pickle were you sleep posting at 2 in the morning? Grin I have some very fucked up dreams, you're not alone. I blame the historical drug abuse..

I've had a good day, even got back on track with the 5g to 5k regime by doing a spot of exercise at lunchtime. Watch out triathelete Serial, you have competition! Hmm

Inarightpickleandchutney · 05/04/2017 18:16

I was asleep then woke up to see what time it was after weird dreams, so vivid! Thought I'd share... Not sure why you'd all want to know I had vivid dreams last night but hey ho!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/04/2017 18:21

I'm usually at a party taking drugs in my dreams Confused. Then wake up feeling a bit disappointed!

Hope my brain hurries up and rewires itself. What if it never rewires? Maybe I blew the circuits years ago.

DustyDuck · 05/04/2017 18:29

What dream, Pickle?
What job, Kinetic?

DustyDuck · 05/04/2017 18:29

Oops didn't refresh

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/04/2017 18:32

No one knows anything about the dream, Dusty! All we know is it was vivid and odd Grin The mind boggles.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 05/04/2017 19:09

My dream at 2am... Involved me becoming a fashion model (could not be further from this!!) then I strutted down the runway but fell off the end.
Mortified.
Then I woke up thinking it had happened, just for a second, then realised this would never happen but took me a while to get back to sleep.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/04/2017 20:15

I don't know Pickle, you're tall and thin with a penchant for drugs..you sound like perfect model material Wink

I'm insanely tired tonight. Is this what exercise does to you? I can hardly move now I've sat down Grin. I'm going to run a bath and collapse in my jammies I think.
Conclusion; I'm really unfit!

Inarightpickleandchutney · 05/04/2017 21:19

I'm short,
Although I was skeletal at the height of my addiction, I'm probably too overweight now! As in approaching a healthy weight!
I also lack co ordination of any sort (blame the drugs for that!) so that's probably why I fell off the end!

You've achieved so much lost, you are fitter than you were before you went out and didn't take drugs... Therefore you rocked today!
Enjoy your sleep, I'm off too, will report in any amusing dreams later.

So so tired...... Yet keep having these wake ups....
Aaaaarrrhh!

HoochiMama · 05/04/2017 23:55

What is the word for drinking too much vodka? Is it drinking yourself Russian? Anyway just popped on to say hi. Well done on the possible job Kinetic. Fingers crossed. Lost and Pickle I follow your words of wisdom every night and applaud you on your surfing. I myself would've fallen off big time tonight but had to get the train back with someone sensible a.normal so was unable to make that call

  • thank goodness for that. Smile
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/04/2017 06:55

If you were wearing a furry hat and considering adopting a bear, then you probably had too much lovely vodka, Hooch Grin
Hope your head's alright today. Well done last night, I think we all need a sensible normal wingman on nights out!

Have a great Thursday people x

HoochiMama · 06/04/2017 09:15

No furry hat but a bit of a sore head. Think I'm developing a drink problem Confused Again I have no off switch so drink like a fish with cheeky shots at the bar. Ah well, one demon at a time! Have a lovely sunny day everyone x

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 06/04/2017 09:30

Waving my snorkel from Italy Grin

Congrats Kinetic!

Had a slip up 2 nights before I left but up to a clean week now. Even turned down a line the night before I left and having too much fun out here to crave. Having the odd cig here and there but the new job offer has taken away the stress-induced smoking.

Less smoking and sniffing combined with holiday-sized portions are definitely leading to weight gain here too pickle!

Aaah White Lines... what an absolute choon!

Have a great day everyone.Flowers

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/04/2017 09:45

Ciao Bella, Cleaning have an amazing holiday in Italia! Smile

I go a bit over the top too, Hooch especially in social situations with drinking. You're not alone in having the thrill seeker brain with the faulty off switch. Blush Just be nice to your hungover self today BrewCake

DustyDuck · 06/04/2017 19:00

What a great time to be in Italy, lucky ol' Cleaning
It's Thursday back in the UK and I don't work on Fridays.... but this must be my clean weekend, no matter what. Got Easter plans you see..

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/04/2017 19:16

Hold tight to your surfboard, Dusty we are entering Dangerous waters. You can do a clean weekend, you've done it before. I'll be cheering you on with some pom poms Smile
Feeling a bit Danger Zoney here too but trying to keep busy!

DustyDuck · 06/04/2017 21:07

What, like actual cheerleader pom-poms?
Not home-made woolly ones?
Ok I will do you proud.

serialtester · 06/04/2017 21:46

Hola surfers. Still on board being holy. As time goes on it really does get easier. Keep on it my children!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/04/2017 06:39

Yes actual pom poms. I'll also be chanting D to the U to the S to the T to the Y in an American accent.

Hola Serial, hello everyone, yay it's Friday!

Inarightpickleandchutney · 07/04/2017 17:15

Evening surfers, welcome to the danger zone! To be honest I'm actually really excited about an early night tonight, I have new pjs.
Feeling quite positive today so hopefully tonight's surfing will be smooth.
Sending love and armbands x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/04/2017 17:57

Evening Wine Are we all still on board this lovely evening?
Hope everyone has some good weekend plans. New PJs Pickle? I'm jealous!

In a really good mood tonight. It's been a beautiful day, it's the weekend and the dc have broken up from school. Uh oh, it's a perfect storm!
I'm still at the stage where it feels like there's something missing of an evening without my trusty old friend Charlie, like a big hole. Confused.

kineticmagnetic · 07/04/2017 18:34

Pjs on, drinking cherryade, watching Harry Potter with DD. Happy surfing all

DustyDuck · 07/04/2017 18:37

Surfing along here, DD(19) is here tonight so that's a very good deterrent Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/04/2017 19:01

Us surfers are getting pretty darn good at this!
We're watching Diary of A Wimpy Kid here. The oldest is shouting at Fifa upstairs.
