Surfing along here too. Got a week off work and off on a short break from Monday. Very excited and this would normally be a trigger for me too but got hairdressers and a girls night out tomorrow so that's keeping me off it. I did once go for half a head of highlights on a come down, it was hell on earth Shock Happy surfing everyone x

PyjamasAndPoachedEggs · 07/04/2017 19:49

Never posted on a thread like this but have been watching from afar (creepy) just wanted to say that the support you guys give eachother is amazing. Your posts and humour have made dark days much brighter. Wish I was as lucky as you guys are and had this sort of system in place! Flowers (ps wine and fags for the win)

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/04/2017 19:50

Making light hearted small talk with a hairdresser for 3 hours on a come down? Ugh no thanks Hooch Grin

Enjoy your night out (don't go fully Russian!) and mini break. Your life sounds so glamorous. E

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/04/2017 19:54

Welcome Pyjamas Smile. Glad you could make sense of our thread? We do talk a lot of crap at times. Please tell us a bit about yourself if possible and stick around if you need support x

Hooch sorry I put an E at the end of my post Confused. No pun intended!

ZiggertyZaggerty · 07/04/2017 21:08

Evening Surfers! Glad to see everyone is happy and surfing along nicely Smile
I'm pyjamarated (unfortunately it new ones like you Pickle!) and got new skin care on - it's retinoid - not sure exactly what it is, but hoping to wake up wrinkleless tomorrow Hmm
Happy Normal Norma weekend all x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/04/2017 21:32

Nice to see you popping your lovely (hopefully non wrinkled) head in, Zig Smile

Dh has come home from work in a bad mood. He's been shafted over money he's owed for a big job (works in construction). Anyway, it's not really an excuse but we're both overboard now. It's been a while so feeling a bit a lot fucked. Sorry surfers. I'm hopelessly addicted to this stuff. Please hit me round the head in the morning with your snorkels.

DustyDuck · 07/04/2017 21:39

Welcome Pyjamas! How did you find us?
Lost you are allowed to spontaneously self-combust once in a while, we've all been there. Let us know how you are tomorrow. And you might as well enjoy tonight! ( I can shake my own pom-poms)

HoochiMama · 07/04/2017 21:41

Hey Ho Lost these things happen, she says through gritted teeth thinking lucky cow! Enjoy now you're there, you have the holidays to recover.

P.s my life is not really that glamorous, just going through a busier than normal social whirl and the mini break is to a caravan park Grin

P.P.s more likely to pull an Essex boy tomorrow than a Russian. We live in hope!

HoochiMama · 07/04/2017 21:46

Hello Pyjamas, great name!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/04/2017 21:49

Thanks for being nice. You are all such lovely understanding souls x. Caravans are cool, Hooch

Inarightpickleandchutney · 07/04/2017 21:51

Any surfers know anything about iPads? Me and DD have a day out tomorrow which involves a 3 hour coach journey. I want to use the home wifi to download some Monsters High which she can watch on the coach which doesn't have wifi.
How do I do this? Ideally in words of 2 syllables or less

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/04/2017 21:56

Serial is your woman for that, Pickle she is a techie babe. I have a feeling she's in the pub though. Confused I think you just click on download? Sorry not more helpful.
Enjoy your day out x

kineticmagnetic · 07/04/2017 21:58

Anyone know any good weepys on Netflix? In the mood for a blub

ZiggertyZaggerty · 07/04/2017 22:06

At least it's not a Sunday night though Lost! So enjoy it tonight and we'll pull you aboard again tomorrow WinkHope Mr Lost can recover some of his losses - no wonder he's in a bad mood.
Welcome Pyjamas - grab a surfboard! No harm in lurking. I lurked for aaaages before plucking the courage to post - and I'm sooooo glad I did. No judgement here - just friendly understanding and the odd fantasy holiday home in Columbia
Pickle - I'm afraid I haven't a fucking clue! I can download stuff via BBC iPlayer - but otherwise I'm stumped! Ooh, what about using iTunes?? Are you off to anywhere exciting?

ZiggertyZaggerty · 07/04/2017 22:13

Sorry you're feeling weepy Kinetic (I've only watched The Crown recently on Netflix so not helpful) why are you feeling so down? It sounds like you had a lovely start to your evening. Here's WineBrew and Cake GinFlowers I hope one of them can make you smile x

Inarightpickleandchutney · 07/04/2017 22:17

If I feel the need to weep, steel magnolias every time!
It's a wedding and it's going to be fabulous. It's a Sikh wedding and I've never been to anything like it before.
We have to be up at crack of dawn...

kineticmagnetic · 07/04/2017 22:20

I've been looking through old pics of DD and my ex, I know I shouldn't, opened cider now. Steel magnolias would work if I hadn't watched it last week!

ZiggertyZaggerty · 07/04/2017 22:23

Wow - that sounds awesome Pickle! What will you wear?! I bet it'll be wonderfully colourful there, and the food.... oh the food I went to one and it was a loooooong day, but oh such fun! Have a fantastic time, I hope the sun keeps shining for you (and the happy couple) x

Inarightpickleandchutney · 07/04/2017 22:29

Beaches maybe?

Inarightpickleandchutney · 07/04/2017 22:31

The party isn't til Sunday, so we should be back by 5-6 tomorrow.
Sunday is the big dinner food fest which I'm considering wearing Joey style thanksgiving pants to...

serialtester · 07/04/2017 22:40

Lost is right - I was in the pub! Overboard people - it's Friday, it's the Easter hols, It's understandable.

I can only help with French ipads tonight - ooh la la!! Je Swiss dronk.

Pickle, can you download it via iTunes? My best mate is sikh. Sikh weddings are fucking ace. Sikh anything is ace. Better than being French!

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 07/04/2017 22:43

Hi all I'm safely aboard tonight but out tomorrow for a birthday with dhs cousins and I'm 99% accepting we will be taking stuff. Lost, enjoy it. My dh is in construction too and being screwed over is not good.

Kinetic, I'm going to be straight talking again. Fuck your ex! He's one man in a whole big world. You have one short life and he doesnt deserve you crying over him. You deserve better and so does your daughter, he is not worthy of your upset. What would you say to a friend right now if she were you? I appreciate it's easier said than done. I Have been through alot of shit in the past and now I just think fuck it I won't ever cry over a man again because if they have upset me enough to make me cry they aren't worth the years!. Life has so much more to give. Things will get better. Get to the angry stage, it's much easier to deal with WineFlowers.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 07/04/2017 22:45

Oh no you dronk vousez French!!
I'm on I player so hopefully I can work it out

serialtester · 07/04/2017 22:52

Je swizz vair dronk and un goingez les bedz avec le pyjamas. Bonsoir mes petit poi's!
