Lately I've been thinking how uncomplicated and nice my life would be clean and imagining what that looks like. It seems to help sometimes to hold onto that "fantasy" in my head.
I'm aware it sounds a bit mad Grin

Haha!! I often feel jealous of friends who have normal, clean lives. No dealers, no sneaking around, no cravings, no managing comedowns, no worrying that people will guess what you're doing.

HoochiMama · 15/07/2017 11:01

Morning all, feeling rather normal which is nice. Could have gone sooo wrong last night Confused Glad you got there too Serial Smile* Lost* hang on to those positive thoughts, you're doing well, it's not an easy path but you'll get there I reckon.

Oh bloody hell Mr BI is texting already. Ignore, ignore, ignore....

Have a good day everyone xx

HoochiMama · 15/07/2017 11:02

Oh and Ponz you need to lose the shoe lol. Hope you feel better soon Flowers

serialtester · 15/07/2017 16:40

Ponz can't lose the shoe - it's up there with schroedingers cat!

serialtester · 15/07/2017 16:41

I'm bored and am self medicating with wine and loud music.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/07/2017 17:37

Hmm we need to convince Mr BI about the merits of shoe abuse so he stops bothering Hooch! That's if Hooch can get a word in edge ways..

Been busy today and thankfully not feeling like a wrung out rag which is a bonus.
Enjoy your wine and tunes Serial. Just had some brilliant Radio 1 club tracks on in the car. I don't think I'll ever grow up Grin

Never grow up lost! Let us all be eternal Bez's!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/07/2017 18:44

Hopefully the old people's home will let me play my favourite tracks and my classic dance floor anthems when I'm geriatric.

I must admit I am fantasising about going round to Ponzu's and sniffing her shoes.
Which sounds really wrong written down Grin

OP posts:
serialtester · 15/07/2017 19:05

I tried sniffing my own shoes earlier. I even said "ponzu" three times while looking in a mirror. Nothing.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/07/2017 19:15

Grin Have you tried clicking the heels together and saying "There's no place like Ponzu's" over and over?
Failing that I suppose we could just get a cab?

OP posts:
serialtester · 15/07/2017 19:22

Tried that! But the pious lurker materialised instead!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/07/2017 19:36

Oh Lordy.
Maybe Ponz has emptied the magic shoe. It's now turned back into a normal boring shoe with no super powers.

OP posts:
serialtester · 15/07/2017 19:47

It's turned into a style and beauty shoe of the season!

HoochiMama · 15/07/2017 19:48

I too would love to sniff Ponz's shoe but I am keeping to my resolve. I have ignored Mr BI who has also called me and have spent the day distracting myself with shopping. I have been to one shopping centre and two supermarkets, not long back. I am actually bored senseless as even DS doesn't need me, had buggered off to the park with his mates. Need to get a social life....

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/07/2017 19:52

There's endless comedy mileage from The Shoe

.Interviewer: What are the top three things you'd rescue from a fire?

Ponz: My husband, my children and a shoe.

Interviewer: just the one shoe?

Ponz: yes.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/07/2017 19:55

Sorry just keeping myself busy with awful shoe jokes.

Well done Hooch it's so hard when you have someone egging you on! Ball of Steel award for you.
For one shopping centre and two supermarkets you need a shopping trophy as well.

OP posts:
HoochiMama · 15/07/2017 20:00

Just one ball Lost? I think I deserve two Smile I have enough food to feed an army and no one to feed. Can't even be arsed to cook, Aldi Mojito is going down well though. Cheers my lovelies Wine

serialtester · 15/07/2017 20:09

Lost, you are hilarious!!

serialtester · 15/07/2017 20:11

Interviewer: It's Oscar night, why do you look so happy when you're wearing one shoe?

Celeb: Ask ponzu maaan!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/07/2017 20:22

Yes you just get one ball Hooch I'm having the other one as dh suggested it tonight and we agreed No we'll watch The Voice instead. Confused
I also can't stop eating today, my appetite has gone through the roof. I'll have to be airlifted to work at this rate.
Ooh Aldi Mojito envy.

OP posts:
HoochiMama · 15/07/2017 20:37

Very good Lost, I'm impressed. You are very worthy to share the balls of steel award with me. I know what you mean about increased appetite, I eat like a nutter for at least a week after a night of indulgence. Not really into all these singing programmes on at moment. Nothing else on though so holding out for Casualty at 9. So rock n roll Hmm

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/07/2017 20:39

Shop assistant; You do realise you're only buying one shoe madam?

Ponz; Yes it's fine I won't be wearing it.

Shop assistant; Confused

(sorry lovely Ponz I can't help making bad shoe jokes)

Feeling quite chuffed to have surfed another day. My self respect remains intact! Go us.

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/07/2017 20:41

Yes I'm looking forward to Casualty too (in my pyjamas). I've officially turned middle aged Grin
