Whatever you don't clutch any balls. That could result in a criminal conviction.

Easter Smile Happy Easter you lovely lot Easter Smile

Just taken my dsd's (is that right for step daughters?!) out to lunch. Feeling thoroughly stuffed. Surfing very hard here as bank holiday equals temptation but have made plans to see family tomorrow so cannot have the horrors. That plan seems to working, keep busy and as much as I want to I can't as the outcome is horrendous Confused

Sunday - sorry your situation isn't great at the moment, I'm a single parent, it's not that bad but a massive step to take to go there. Rant on here all you like.

Cleaning - hope you survive the family visit Flowers

Could somebody pleeeeease send me a massive fuck-off surfboard and mammoth sized unicorn thingy.

In addition to This visit going rapidly downhill I had a nap earlier and had an actual, vivid nightmare about cunt face director. That surely isnt normal?? Confused

There you go... have some beer too! Not sure what to say about the dream, ignore it Wink

Cleaning, just get through it all as best you can. The shit will help temporarily but a) you've done SO WELL and b) you'll have the same probs tomorrow compounded by self loathing and feeling really fucking shit.

We're here for you. With arm bands, wine and fags. Smoke your way through it. Drink wine until you are French. All preferable to snorting until you're from New York in 1973.

I've lost count of the days/weeks now. I don't want to go back to feeling shit. At the same time as REALLY wanting to feel the rush of that first line. It ain't easy. But being off it is good.

Great advice Serial Smile

Good luck Cleaning, you can do this. Be over soon x

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 16/04/2017 19:11

Preach all you like sister serial!

Ds has asked to sleep at my mum's house, wtf? Well actually no, not really wtf. I think part of our problem is she never wanted a daughter deep down. She is generally nicer to ds than to me. So, I'm feeling like shit with the prospect of a free house. Bloody marvellous circumstances for surfing 💩

I'm eating my body weight in food and undoing all my running, walking and cycling Sad

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/04/2017 19:28

Nice flamingos, Hooch Grin Knowing my luck, my beer would float off in that.

I know what you mean about the temptation of the bank holiday weekend.. Been out for a couple of drinks in our local and my coke radar was picking up a fair few people on it in the pub. That makes it worse Sad Felt really jealous. Wankers!
Have come home now but pretty restless now and fuck I'm bored with everything..aargh. I don't want to turn into a New Yorker from 73...

Throwing a huge blow up unicorn at you, Cleaning. Get on it, pull the air valve out and jet propel yourself away from the family gathering as fast as you can. VVRrrrooooommm

HoochiMama · 16/04/2017 19:34

Know what you're saying Lost, I'm bored shitless! Not even drinking as fearing for my liver after Fridays debacles Confused Can't even have a fag as ds will go mad, might have to sneak off into the garage with the Febreeze in a minute Hmm

Cleaning you will feel even shittier tomorrow if you go over board if that helps? Know what you mean about an empty house though. Drink yourself unconscious instead??

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/04/2017 19:36

Yo preach like a sister Serial!
You are The Bishop of the Surfing Kingdom and we love your wisdom. That is a good DJ name I must admit.... Ibiza anyone?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/04/2017 19:38

Yeah sneak off to the garage for an Easter fag Hooch. Don't set fire to your Febreeze aerosol though Confused

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 16/04/2017 19:41

I'm holding on for now it's a MASSIVE struggle today.

No point trying to be proud of my new job today, that conversation already got shot down in flames. It's embarrassing really.

The main problem is that i blame myself for the way she treats me. It's obviously my fault that I bring out that behaviour in her. Years ago I fucking stupidly once asked her why she never, ever told me she was proud of me. Her response was, Well your father is even more successful than you are and i don't tell him either, giving me a blank stare.

DustyDuck · 16/04/2017 19:46

Currently in a NY nightclub in1973
Well actually local pub with pool table and jukebox. Nose plugs required!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/04/2017 19:53

Gosh Cleaning your mum seems to struggle to say anything encouraging. That is so difficult to endure. My parents are a bit like that thinking about it.. never quite good enough. Confused.
We're proud of you, you should be too.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/04/2017 19:55

Can't say I'm not envious, Dusty!

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 16/04/2017 20:02

I just logged into online banking... just to see the state of play after the holiday... no other reason. Hmm

I'm desperate to get to day 18 but it's fast slipping away and Dh has told me no pressure but he's up for it cos we have an empty house.

I'm fucked I think. My own fault and my own choice. But fucked all the same.

I'm going for cig first

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/04/2017 20:17

You've done 18 days surfing. That's not to be sniffed at (pardon the pun) It's hard I know when you've been a while off it. My record so far is 3 weeks then it becomes like some sort of strangely alluring forbidden fruit in my mind.

It might help to try and blank out what your mum says and sort of detach emotionally a bit? I may not be the best person to give psychiatric advice though seeing as I'm probably mad. Hmm

serialtester · 16/04/2017 20:24

Am also bored as fuck. Shall we all go to New York?!

OP posts:
serialtester · 16/04/2017 20:25

I'm going to wear hot pants and sport a Bowie haircut.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 16/04/2017 20:30

Love the pun Lost Grin

I'm up for NY!

I'll swerve the hot pants though as I look like the Michelin Man after all this food..

Not had two cigs in a day for a while. That plus wine.. my fave tune is running through my mind Blush

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/04/2017 20:37

We'll meet up at Dusty's New York nightclub. I'll be sporting a tight flared velour tracksuit and glitter on my face. Loving the Bowie mullet, Serial You look like a starman waiting in the sky. Hmm
Cleaning I think you could pull off Big hair and a leather catsuit.

HoochiMama · 16/04/2017 20:43

I'm up for New York too. Even the TV is mind numbingly dull tonight. Antiques Roadshow or Top Gear?! Flares and a boob tube for moi I think Smile
