I want a new job too! Doing my MDs work this week for less than living wage. Scared to ask for pay rise. Oh well, it's a bank holiday weekend ! Wink

DustyDuck · 25/05/2017 13:49

Ye Olde Surfe baords are probably due for some maintenance this weekend, lost.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 25/05/2017 14:38

That sounds hard, Dusty. Definitely ask for a pay rise!
My board will need some reinforcements. I'm looking forward to the weekend a bit too much Confused also invited to a barbecue by some friends that like to Party.

It's too hot here to run home, I think I'll walk back today wish I brought the car now.

DustyDuck · 25/05/2017 17:14

How about this lost. Yesterday I drove to work, left the car there, walked home. Today I walked to work, drive home. Thereby halving the walking because I am lazy. It only works if you don't need to be a taxi in the evenings.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 25/05/2017 18:33

That is indeed a cunning plan Dusty. I think I've been quite ambitious with my running home everyday. Although I walked today. I was a sweaty unattractive mess!

Oh well at least I've been collapsing early into bed every night.

ponzusoup · 25/05/2017 20:11

Envious that you CAN walk or drive or run to work! No one else in London? Or local London workers?

I'm fucked this weekend. It's in the house.

DustyDuck · 25/05/2017 20:13

Last week on Graham Norton, Nicole Kidman and Cheryl Crowe were talking about their girls' weekend in the Bahamas. Dyou reckon we could blend in? Hmm

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 25/05/2017 20:21

I used to live in Pimlico Ponz and tube to work everyday. You have my sympathy there at least you can't start setting yourself stupid running home from work targets like me.

Yep, Bahamas it is ladies. Failing that plan B; all round to Ponzu's for the shoe stash party. Wink
God, it feels ages since I've had a line.

I heard a thing on the radio today about how there's an increase in coke related trips to a+e because purity has increased. Gave me the fear!

There is some strong old stuff about Serial (..allegedly Blush)

That's something to put in the motivation tank. And I need motivation!
I've certainly lost that invincible feeling you have when you're young. The gamble with my health is partly why I can't carry on as I have been. Sad

Will you be celebrating your new job tomorrow night Serial? Don't forget your armbands!
See you in the Danger Zone lovely surfers. x

ponzusoup · 25/05/2017 23:31

God amber Rudd is such a cunt.

Can I say that ?

ponzusoup · 25/05/2017 23:32

Watching her on question time

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 26/05/2017 07:59

Ha ha Ponz Question Time always makes me shout at the tele.

It's Friday and it's a beautiful day. Let's try to be high on life today Smile

DustyDuck · 26/05/2017 17:37

Helloooooo Fridaaaay!!!
Right, show me the shoes Ponz.

HoochiMama · 26/05/2017 21:24

Let me guess, you're all round Ponzu's rifling through her shoe collection!

I'm on enforced good behaviour as have a hospital appointment in the morning to investigate my heart palpitations. Pretty sure it's down to Stress and the peri menopause and not my life style but best to get it checked. Better not turn up on a comedown with heart beating a million beats a minute, that would take some explaining Confused

Have a good night all x

DustyDuck · 27/05/2017 09:07

Hoochi I do hope everything's ok and that you get good results soon. Looks like you were surfing solo last night, going by the inactivity here!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/05/2017 10:05

Hope all is well at your hospital appointment Hooch, very sensible to get it checked out. Flowers
A nurse once measured my blood pressure at a pill check after I'd been on it all night and was shocked it was suddenly much higher than usual. She kept saying, I don't understand this. Blush

I was still on my surfboard last night. I had two drinks and fell asleep! Not sure why I've been SO exhausted these last few days. Confused Is this what a bit of exercise does to you?

Hope everyone else is feeling ok this morning.

serialtester · 27/05/2017 10:23

Went out last night, was actually quite restrained!! What's wrong with me?!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/05/2017 11:21

You must be coming down with something Serial Grin

HoochiMama · 27/05/2017 11:50

Wow I thought you'd all gone splosh last night, nice one Star Do you think we are all getting old?!

All fine and dandy here, nothing untoward found at hospital, I feel reborn lol! Staying firmly onboard this weekend as off on a city break next week and lots to do. Next weekend may be a different matter...

Nearly 4 weeks Lost!

serialtester · 27/05/2017 12:02

That's good news hooch!! Me and lost are virtually tee total Gwyneth Paltrow types!

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/05/2017 12:42

That must be a relief Hooch. Pleased for you. Smile

Yes we're all turning into the elderly. A week of walking to work and running home absolutely ruined me. I won't be doing a marathon anytime soon. I think my legs would fall off.

Hope you're feeling alright after your shoe binge Ponz. Brew

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/05/2017 12:44

I am the smoking, pissed, unhealthy version of Gwyneth, with issues. We could be twins. Grin

HoochiMama · 27/05/2017 13:06

You should ease yourself into this running lark Lost, maybe just run once or twice a week to begin with, your body needs time to recover. It's hell at first but after a few weeks you see an improvement and feel really pleased with yourself Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/05/2017 13:16

Good point Hooch. I probably overdosed on running, no wonder I've been so tired. What a wally.
