Hello all. Things a lot better here today. Hopefully waters will be calmer for everyone this weekend.

Welcome Ponzu - I'm also a 40 something secret (except to Mr Zig) user. And also drink too much, which I hate. I hope talking to us and getting things written down help a bit. I hope your dd had a great day.
Lost - hope you are feeling better tonight and you didn't beat yourself up too much today? You got to 3 weeks didn't you? That's definitely a bronze balls of steel award Star
Hope you had a better day today Sunday x
And hope your Mum is home soon Serial

serialtester · 22/04/2017 18:51

She's out now zig. Self medicating with gin and codeine. I wonder where I get my addictive tendancies from.

Could happily snort for Britain tonight.

SerialMum sounds like my kind of lady Grin I'm glad she's home x

serialtester · 22/04/2017 19:27

She's ace actually. Glamorous and really badly behaved. I inherited the badly behaved bit! Fuck me I could splosh at any second.

I've bypassed French and am on the verge of being Columbian.

Ponzu, proper welcome to you. Am middle aged, bored and clearly a total idiot. Stopped heavy use in November after a scary experience and had a dabble in January. Am always on the verge of having a dabble. Nice to meet you!!

Glad your mums on the mend Serial, she sounds epic. Hope you manage to avoid becoming Colombian tonight Confused Just had a bit of a near miss myself. Drove past Mr B.I.s house on way back from dropping ds off and called to see if he was in. No answer and he didn't call back until I was home, think he was playing hard to get! Too late for me to go back thank God cos I would have been overboard in minutes Shock Hope you're feeling better Lost, don't beat yourself up, we're all only one step away from it most of the time Hmm

serialtester · 22/04/2017 20:37

I'm being partially French - just in case of more medical drama. Would love to go full Columbian though!!

Checking in.....
Sunday - from what you've posted, he's not worth wiping your nose on. It's harder than hard to negotiate the process, but the gains are incredible. I left a H who (finally) admitted to avoiding us as a family. We are worth a lot more!
Sending hugs. You deserve a lot more.

CharlieFoxtrotEtch · 22/04/2017 21:05

Ponzu - nice to meet you. Completely understand scraping lines from surfaces/ snorting devices. There is a warped sense of achievement there.
I think sometimes it takes a kick to get us to confess here. Maybe another kick will make me address the situation, and I have certainly tried.
It is infuriating that the legal options, including almost identical analogues, have been removed from sight. I'd rather use clean chemicals than random concoctions, but such is life. Sad
Currently drinking strawberry-vodka-milkshake and pondering my options.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/04/2017 21:16

Hi surflings, I was hitting myself around the head this morning with my surfboard. It was pretty dark. I just couldn't cope with the cravings last night and convinced myself I'd be fine this time. Hmm I'm a sucker for my own lies [idiot face]

Had a busy day and now feeling ill and delirious with tiredness. Fuck remember this awful feeling, Serial? Do not go to Colombia, it's not such a lovely place. Stress is definitely a trigger for me, hold tight to your board.
Glad your mum's on the mend. Mmm codeine and gin sounds like a mellow vibe man Wink

Oh Hooch that was a close shave today. Surfing perilously close to the rocks madam! Glad your planets aligned to save you.

Zig and Ponzu yep me too, a I'm a fairly respectable 40 year old mum with a job who goes home to her nice house, shuts the curtains and gets off her nut on class As. Blush

Sorry I'm rambling, love you lot x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/04/2017 21:18

Strawberry Vodka milkshake sounds quite inventive, Charlie enjoy!

serialtester · 22/04/2017 21:46

Lost, sleep well tonight - you did really well and had a paddle. You aren't bang on it for the weekend so well done.

Being sensible tonight, Jesus I'd love some gin and codeine though. Might go round my mother's house!! Party round hers?!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/04/2017 21:53

Thanks Serial It was a big binge. I scare myself sometimes with my stupid insatiable appetite. Just best for me to stay well away.

I've sent out the invites for Party round Serial's mums. I'm going to need some serious make up for these dark eye circles. All those with the party animal gene welcome. Um I think that's all of us then Grin
Your poor mum...

serialtester · 22/04/2017 22:27

Don't worry about make up, my mum has it all. She's basically Elizabeth Taylor. The codeine tablets are in the dish next to the one with the keys! We're partying 70's style. Fondue anyone?

OP posts:
ZiggertyZaggerty · 22/04/2017 22:34

Just tie-dyeing my kaftan and plaiting daisies for my hair. Shall I bring the Hendrix LP's?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/04/2017 22:45

I'll bring one of those grapefruit hedgehogs with cheese and pineapple on cocktail sticks.
Yes Zig we'll have a bit of Purple Haze. Bring Hendrix.
Taking myself off to dream about the 70's and Zig in an Abigail's party kaftan Confused

DustyDuck · 22/04/2017 22:48

All round your mum's sounds better than my evening Serial. Playing Scrabble with daughter and her gf. Medicating and turning French. MrD in man-cave finishing the dregs of a wrap he found. Oh my sad life

DustyDuck · 22/04/2017 22:49

Demis Roussos anyone?!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/04/2017 22:54

Hope you're alright Dusty. I think you're like me, stuck in a weird two week cycle.

Demis Roussos. You do make me laugh Dusty.

serialtester · 22/04/2017 23:13

I'll raise your Demis to a Nana Mouskourie (might be misspelt but fuck it!!)

Kaftans and hendrix are compulsory. As is incense, a hostess trolley and blue nun.

DustyDuck · 22/04/2017 23:20

I'll bring Black Tower, a Party Seven and I'll be wearing a satin flared jumpsuit. With pockets.

ponzusoup · 23/04/2017 00:06

Pissed but not wired as had none. Would've indulged if I had post DD party.

Availability is all ladies.

Thanks for having me.

DustyDuck · 23/04/2017 00:16

Yes. Availability and Desire
