Nice one ladies!! Even mood has settled here and just feeling like I've given my poor addled brain a break. More sobriety tonight I reckon then that three days! Gotta be good for body and soul eh?

I'm going to make good food tonight I think. Also have a day off work today so can get organised.

Xx

ponzusoup · 08/06/2017 09:59

Ok ok I went French last night. How's everyone else?

Stayed on my board tho!!!

DustyDuck · 08/06/2017 11:39

Me too Ponz
Abstaining tonight as I'm counting votes at the counting centre so will be on black coffee

ponzusoup · 08/06/2017 11:58

Ooh exciting dusty. There's a positive reason for an all nighter !

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 08/06/2017 19:33

Well done Dusty Good point, you couldn't count very well with your beer goggles on. Grin

Really struggling with the normality of everything these last few days. I wish I could be content with my lot instead of seeking out a buzz. I feel like it's hard wired in me and like I either can't change or subconsciously don't want to?
Maybe it's made it worse because I've had a dry few days and a clear enough head to think about things? Confused

Anyway, feck it I'm having a few drinks tonight. I'm driving myself mad with all this thinking!
Hope my fellow surfers are ok today x

ZiggertyZaggerty · 09/06/2017 00:34

Oh ffs!! I'm French and trying to post 'volevouz couchec avec moi ce soir' !!! Night night surfers x

ponzusoup · 09/06/2017 17:39

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Theresa May!!!!!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 09/06/2017 18:32

Good Friday evening surfers Wine
Yes what a balls up for May. Did you stay up watching it Ponz? I collapsed early into bed in a slightly drunken stupor. Sorry about my self indulgent rant yesterday Blush

Zig hope you've recovered from your French trip. I was amused that you invited us all to bed Grin

It's the Danger Zone..how are we all doing? I'm wobbling like a crazy woman. Keep finding myself having fantasies about a line or ten. Give me strength.

DustyDuck · 09/06/2017 22:26

Out of the danger zone now as MrD has work tomorrow. But oh so French !
Foufou de fafa. Will find link.

Ha ha hilarious Dusty! Hope your counting went ok, you weren't doing Kensington were you?! Prob not as you'd still be there! I'm safely onboard, did Sun - Weds no drinking or fags, a couple of beers last night and now on the Mojito which makes me... Mexican? Not nearly drunk enough anyway. Hope everyone else is doing ok?? x

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 10/06/2017 08:30

Hi everyone... sorry for disappearing. My dad died suddenly last month so I have to admit that I spent most of May high as a kite. Then I was clean for two weeks until his birthday two days ago.

Today I'm doing a deep clean and then tonight we are going to a party but not drinking as we have an early start tomorrow.

Determined to do this 💪 Happy Saturday all Smile

DustyDuck · 10/06/2017 09:35

Cleaning I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. Good to have you back here, do keep us posted on your deep clean, and try to enjoy the sober partySmile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/06/2017 10:07

Welcome back Cleaning. So sorry about your dad, that's awful. It must have been a huge shock for you all Flowers

Keep strong. A sober party is quite a foreign concept to me!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/06/2017 10:12

Hooch sounds like you're doing brilliantly.

I just need to get a handle on my Friday night binges. I think I've more or less mastered the art of abstaining in the week but last night went extremely pear shaped on the drugs front. Feel crap Sad

Dusty I have Foux de fafa stuck in my head now.

serialtester · 10/06/2017 10:12

Oh cleaning, what sad news.

So sorry to hear about your Dad Cleaning, must be a very hard time for you. Sending hugs xx

HoochiMama · 10/06/2017 11:46

Lost you're still doing great, one step at a time. Being sober in the week is tres good Smile Hope today isn't too bad. I've had 9 hours sleep and looking forward to doing some gardening - I am officially old boring Grin

serialtester · 10/06/2017 12:35

Never mind lost, you've done really well this week. Hope you don't feel too shitty today.

Hope everyone's had a good day.
Just spent all afternoon looking in town for a prom suit for my son. It was pretty hellish.

I'm having a medicinal wine for my headache. Confused

ponzusoup · 10/06/2017 20:11

I did an all night election bender on the shoe. Inevitable. Felt like crap Friday. Improving today. Lost I feel your pain.

ponzusoup · 10/06/2017 20:12

Cleaning so sorry for your loss.

DustyDuck · 10/06/2017 20:57

Wow ponzu that must have been interesting, with those results coming in. Could have done with some at the counting centre, would have made it a bit less tedious!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/06/2017 20:58

I guess we could blame your election night hiccup on Theresa May Ponz. Glad you're feeling better.

I have a cracking sinus headache, a dent in my bank account and a cloud of depression to show for last night. My life feels like a sham.

DustyDuck · 10/06/2017 20:58

We're having a "quiet night in" but with Mr D that means staying in with half a g rather than going out with a whole oneConfused
