Exactly! The logic of it all gets so twisted over time. Oh and it was 3 hand creams and a foot cream too Grin 20 quid a pop but they last for aaaaages. as opposed to one night that leaves you wanting more

I think the craving was triggered by nerves. Cunty director face crossed my mind several times today Angry So glad I made the right choice even though I still ended up 80 quid poorer anyway. Blush

Night all Smile

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 29/08/2017 19:41

Oh and thank you Lost, I'll let you know how I get on Smile

Had a minor medical procedure this afternoon. Am currently enjoying legal drugs! Codeine is fabulous!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 29/08/2017 21:16

Get well soon Serial! And yes it's all floaty and chilled (and highly addictive) but you have a free pass tonight Wink

Am having some more then floating to bed!! I'm ok, I'm not unwell as such just got a few more "procedures" in my future.

serialtester · 29/08/2017 23:02

Expensive skin care - I have l'occcitaine hand cream, it's marvelous. For the face it's Eve Lom all the way. It even makes me look human after a swim in deep waters.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 29/08/2017 23:10

Was your procedure a face lift Serial? Grin I'm going to need one if I carry on the way I am.

I'm going to try good old fashioned beauty sleep first! Night all x

Let us know how you get on tomorrow Cleaning.

I'm having extensive plastic surgery before I move to Columbia Lost. Long term it's cheaper than Eve Lom!!

ponzusoup · 31/08/2017 11:34

Well I'm still clean after pillgate. Rolling to end of school summers hols. Probably boozing a bit too much but feel better without the Coke. DD1 starts secondary next week so expecting fireworks. Not same school as any of her mates ( In London they seem to really split up - 20 different schools from our primary). Tips gratefully received.

ponzusoup · 31/08/2017 11:37

Back to facelifts - I'm in my late forties and swear by a facial
Cleansing oil. I've been using uma Brennan's and it's expensive - tenner a bottle - but lasts for months and months and smells divine. My skin feels so much better. Thought I would share it with you surfer ladies. Can really counteract a trip overboard!

serialtester · 31/08/2017 11:52

She'll be fine ponz. The worst thing about the move to secondary is the anticipation of it.

While we having a style and beauty moment I have recently discovered serums - my god they are good! Obvs, if I stopped smoking, drinking and taking drugs I wouldn't bloody need it.

ponzusoup · 31/08/2017 13:55

Any particular serum serial?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 31/08/2017 14:03

Afternoon surfers Smile
Thanks for the skin tips, I've never tried serums. Some mornings after the night before I do feel like going out with a paper bag on my head.

I hope your dd isn't fretting too much about her new school Ponz. I'm sure they'll be others in the same boat not knowing many others? I remember being filled with dread the last week of the summer holidays before starting a new school, she has my sympathy.

Have a horrible headache where I feel really dizzy and sick if I bend down today. Not sure what that's all about Confused Typical, I've kept my nose clean all week and get a weird headache thing anyway.

This is the first September that I won't have a child at school! DD2 is off to uni in a couple of weeks and DD1 to do a masters. House will be quiet!
My skincare tip: spf 20 (minimum) every day, all year round.

serialtester · 31/08/2017 16:38

Ponz, I've been using some REN stuff - instant shot or something.

Lost, that headache sounds sinusy. And horrible. Take it easy.

serialtester · 31/08/2017 16:38

Dusty, big changes in your house. What clever kids you have!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 31/08/2017 20:33

That's a huge change Dusty. You must be proud of them. My oldest ds is going to sixth form college, not such a big step. I worry mine will never leave home..

I could do with an instant shot of something Serial Grin Feeling sorry for myself with my awful weird dizzy headache.
Trying my go to cure (not that one!) a bath and early night.
See you in the Zone of Danger (less dramatically known as Friday)

serialtester · 01/09/2017 12:15

Afternoon. The danger zone is looming. There's a thread in the sex forum about shagging whilst coked up. Interesting range of responses!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/09/2017 17:44

Interesting Serial. I've never heard of "coke dick" before Grin but some fairly open minded responses.

Really happy today because I woke up and wasn't dizzy! My weird headache has gone fingers crossed. Felt awful yesterday, the dizziness was making me feel sea sick.
This has given me extra motivation to start looking after my health better. I have a feeling my sinuses are fucked.

Hope y'all surfing the riptide this Friday people Smile

HoochiMama · 01/09/2017 20:11

I read the sex on coke thread on Serials recommendation too! My favourite was 'like trying to stuff a duvet in a tin can' Shock

Glad your feeling better Lost, headache thing sounded horrible.

Surfing along here, not even having a drink. Quite boring but I'm going with it...

Good luck out there Surfers x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/09/2017 20:23

For some reason the duvet in a tin can (yuk) makes me think of Mr BI Hooch and the night he lunged at you. Grin

I thought my headache might be dehydration so I've been drinking water like it's going out of fashion. Who knows.
Anyway, Well done with your surfing. I'm just having a tipple tonight but no dabble. Don't want to spend another Saturday wiped out.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/09/2017 20:24

Cleaning let us know how your first week in the new job went. Hope you're not celebrating too hard Confused

OP posts:
DustyDuck · 01/09/2017 20:26

Have realised my house is going to become a danger zone - with both DDs out, MrD had a line and a g&t waiting for me after work ConfusedGin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/09/2017 20:38

Oh Dusty Envy ..maybe try not to go too mad? Not that I'm any good at moderation!
It's that strange mix of feeling cross with your dh for about one second and then highly delighted and everything's right with world.
Don't forget your saline water spray thing. Wink

OP posts:
DustyDuck · 01/09/2017 20:41

No I can't go mad, I have a busy Saturday with driving.
I just read the sex on coke thread.
