It's Friday surfers!
Going for a few drinks after work but determined not to fall off the surfboard. I'm almost 3 weeks clean here Halo. Hold tight, we're entering the Daaaanger Zooonnnnee...
Hope everyone has some nice plans for the weekend. Have a good day all Flowers

Have I missed the coach trip to Columbia?Shock Where is everybody?

At present I'm having an internal argument with myself about getting a bit. This is not a good sign as my sensible self rarely wins these arguments. It would be very easy to have some dropped off. Arrgh.

How is everyone else doing? Hope we're all keeping afloat. Confused

DustyDuck · 19/05/2017 21:10

3 weeks, lost, 3 whole weeks!

HoochiMama · 19/05/2017 21:21

I'm still on the surfboard Lost, 3 weeks for me too. Stay with me! I'm sort of on involuntary rehab as can't get any easily, I've not even had a drink yet Shock

Think how great you will feel in the morning of you don't.. balls of steel award?? Halo

HoochiMama · 19/05/2017 21:27

You feeling better now Dusty?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 19/05/2017 21:32

Involuntary rehab? That sounds horrendous Hooch Grin

I feel better that you guys are abstaining with me at least. I have been trying for a month clean for Ages now and keep sabotaging it after a couple of weeks. I feel like I'm stuck on a loop. Confused

I'm having a few drinks and loads of fags but my brain keeps telling me it's not the right buzz. Sorry for moaning.

DustyDuck · 19/05/2017 21:34

Yes thanks, in fact this morning I felt bloody amazing Hmmno idea why, don't think antibiotics are meant to have that effect

DustyDuck · 19/05/2017 21:36

Stick it out lost, think how great a month will feel! Bank holiday alert - another one next weekend folks. Where shall we go?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 19/05/2017 21:38

That's good Dusty you were really suffering. Perhaps it was just being a whole week clean that made you feel so great this morning? Let's cling onto that thought.. Hmm

HoochiMama · 19/05/2017 21:44

Glad you're better Dusy Smile*

Your brain's playing tricks on you Lost. It's conveniently just remembering the high and blocking out the awful low, mine did that the other week. Try your hardest, you'll be so pleased if you make 3 weeks xx

ZiggertyZaggerty · 19/05/2017 21:45

Cling on to your board Lost - just one more week and you'll get your month goal. And you will feel high in the drug-free smug-tree tomorrow Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 19/05/2017 21:46

Oh Lordy, I don't have a great track record with bank holidays or special occasions.
I'm thinking a Spain in festival season. We'll be surrounded by buff Spanish waiters feeding us sangria and drugs in the sunshine. We'll have a beautiful villa with cold marble floors and lovely bathrooms.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 19/05/2017 21:48

Thanks for the reality check, lovely people. You're all very wise. Smile

DustyDuck · 19/05/2017 22:59

Villla in Spain is a great idea. We can lounge by the pool and have cava

serialtester · 19/05/2017 23:01

Lost - go to bed!! I am MASSIVELY French. Ooh la la. Actually turned down an evening of sniffy sniffy and came home.

Good darts Serial Star Excellente en le surfage.
I'm watching an old Who wants to be a Millionaire with dh and am shortly going to bed before I faint with boredom. A leetle bit French here mais non pharmaceuticals.
Thanks for listening to my moaning all! x

DustyDuck · 20/05/2017 09:02

Don't want to turn the thread too political but re bank holidays, Labour plan to introduce 4 new ones....bring it on! Hope that wouldn't make you vote otherwise, Lost

HoochiMama · 20/05/2017 10:09

Did you make it Lost?

I only had one vodka and half a fag last night. This morning I went for a 6 mile run. Don't know what's come over me! Shock

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 20/05/2017 10:31

Flowers Morning Flowers
It's a lovely start to the weekend waking up to sunshine and a comedown free head.

Hooch you're brilliant. You must be on an endorphin high now.
I have got plans to start walking to my new work and running home. For exercise I mean, not just legging it out the office cos I don't like the job. Wink
It takes about 40 mins walking so hopefully that's doable? I am quite unfit though.

4 more bank holidays? I'm not complaining Dusty Grin

Have a great Saturday all x Hope your head's alright mon petit Serial.

HoochiMama · 20/05/2017 10:45

Glad you made it Lost and didn't die from boredom last night Smile

I think I've overdone it, having trouble walking now lol.

Great idea to start running, just take it slowly, run walk run to begin with and it will soon build up. We'll have you running 10k on a Saturday morning in no time Wink

Have a good day all xx

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 20/05/2017 11:17

Oh dear I'm sorry your legs don't work now Hooch Grin I'm sure they're just turning into solid muscle.

I am aspiring to be more Hooch. Look out for a woman lying on the path in running gear on Monday. That'll be me.

serialtester · 20/05/2017 11:35

I did a bit of weight lifting this morning. My arms match your legs hooch!!! Happy Saturday chaps!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 20/05/2017 11:44

Weight lifting? Crikey we've all turned into athletes with temples for bodies.
Serial you are a legend for managing that with a hangover.

Wow I turn my back for a minute and you have all turned into olympians!

Fell off last night ladies. Almost too embarrassed to come and say.

Tonight I will not. No siree.
