A trap for the mouse I mean, not luring dd to the kitchen and throwing a net over her head ha ha.

Found out that I'm getting promoted today... completely unexpected. Whoops a daisy I seem to have splashed overboard. Sorry Sad

WhatAFuckUp · 20/07/2017 18:53

So sorry Ponz I missed your post. Good luck with both of those 💪

What well done Star (on the first part of your post). That's great news.
A sudden overboard situation isn't great but understandable in the circumstances can I come round and help celebrate.
Back on the old surfboard tomorrow young lady x

What - a thursday splash is not an unknown phenomenon on here but one will then need a nose clip and armbands for the weekend.

ponzusoup · 20/07/2017 20:12

Ps congrats on the promotion!

I apologise in advance lost and I haven't read the whole thread but
I'm never EVER, forgiving this fucking place for the mattress vacuuming. EVER.

Oh Dusty that thread makes me feel all itchy. People hoovering their mattress and then uploading pictures of the Hoover contents. Dust porn. Shock

I'm still laughing inwardly about the other "coke" thread. Lots of posters coming on now to confess to their massive cola addictions. I shouldn't laugh it probably is a problem for them.

Mascot Mouse, I like it. We could call him Yoga Tim in tribute to the buff bendy one.

What if the mouse finds the shoe? 😱

serialtester · 20/07/2017 21:27

It'll be the luckiest motherfucking mouse since the one in the windmill in old Amsterdam!

DustyDuck · 20/07/2017 22:03

Just went on Facebook to see a friend I haven't spoken to for ages or had anything to do with in over ten years is actually in COLUMBIA RIGHT NOWShock

Grin We're all slightly mad.

"Hi, thought I'd join your thread. My problems started when I found drugs in a shoe really. Now I'm just living for the buzz. I've even gone off cheese. Hopefully you have a tiny surfboard for me.

ponzusoup · 20/07/2017 23:14

Looks like we've missed the coach to Columbia What. It's very quiet.
So far I'm still surfing using the distraction techniques of cleaning, having a couple of drinks and posting on random threads like some sort of self styled advice guru. Confused
Oh well it's kept me busy.

HoochiMama · 22/07/2017 00:21

Don't worry Lost, if you missed the coach so did I. Been out out but strictly stuck to vodka and chatting up unsuitable young men. He was 32 and thought I was younger lol. Clearly bad living isn't that bad for you. See you in the smug tree in the morning xx

NameChange60 · 22/07/2017 00:59

Lost I often post words of wisdom on other threads this is why I name change for this one Grin I could be anyone Wink.

Just kidding i mainly just talk shite. Have had a few glasses of wine after an unexpected 10 hour day at work today! Had a lot to do and left it until the end of the week as usual.

Definitley got that friday feeling but im off to bed now. So bon voyage to the coach to Columbia! Out tomorrow with friends so wish me luck but I reckon i'll stick to my surfboard.

Hoochi check you out! I would love that Grin. Glad you had a good night xx
