I can totally understand that thinking lost. It's a form of self sabotage I guess.

You've successfully surfed the weekend - you can do this week.

ponzusoup · 06/09/2017 08:55

How's everyone doing?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/09/2017 11:44

All ok here, I haven't self sabotaged yet which is good!
Hope your dd is settling in to her new school Ponz Smile

Day 2 lost. Seems good so far but early days. I'm surfing like a good 'in but dealer in town in next two weeks so could replenish the shoe.

serialtester · 06/09/2017 17:53

Doing ok here. Have bought Wednesday wine though!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/09/2017 19:21

Wine sounds like the perfect remedy for a mundane Wednesday. I've had a day of non stop caffeine, biscuits, energy drinks, fags and now a beer. Oh well, at least it's not hard drugs.

Hold tight in your dangerous waters Ponz (shoe replenishment situation). You'll feel great if you can swerve that and it may well earn you a Balls of Steel award!! Try to contain your excitement. Grin

Ponz's shoe will always be a legend though.

I am bored lost! Today is mundane. I think I use sugar, caffeine, nicotine and wine to liven things up a bit.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/09/2017 19:29

Aye, life is pretty fucking tedious on the whole. I've just done a crossword.

That's desperate lost. Went to pub, had fun - came home and am bored. I'd love to be the kind of Facebook/instagram/mumsnet person who is satisfied by cooking a nice dinner, knitting, watching a box set.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/09/2017 07:51

Those instamums claiming they're fulfilled baking cupcakes are probably lying!

I'm off to power walk to work. Brr, where's our Indian summer? Have a good Thursday all. Smile

serialtester · 07/09/2017 18:46

I have got the heating on! Now should I bake a cake or have a beer?!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/09/2017 19:10

I'm holding off putting the heating on in the hope we'll get a lovely Indian summer next week. [deluded]

Can you do both Serial? ..living life to the max! Wink
I'm fantasising about coke today. All the disadvantages have been conveniently erased from my brain. I seem to be stuck in a weekly relapse cycle at the moment so I'm trying to surf through it. It's fucking hard and argh moan moan.

Lost you really can surf this out. Think about tomoz morning and how trashed you will feel. C'mon honey let's channel yoga tim, give our brains , livers, seratonin levels a break and get to the weekend clean and serene.

serialtester · 07/09/2017 19:19

The disadvantages fade away by a Thursday don't they?

ponzusoup · 07/09/2017 19:19

Nice food, cold beer ( not too many) and is it bake off tonight? We cannot snort to bake off.

ponzusoup · 07/09/2017 19:20

Reverse that thought serial. The advantages peak by Thursday.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/09/2017 19:37

Yay OprahPonz is back. Snorting to bake off? What would Mary say? Shock

You're right Ponz I'm going to think about the advantages rather than what I'm missing. All calm and rested tomorrow for work and serene , I like that.

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/09/2017 19:39

I don't think I've ever been serene in my life. Grin

If I was on bake off I'd be snorting icing sugar!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/09/2017 20:12

Going on Bake off would be stress levels off the scale. I'd be face down in the icing sugar after drinking the cooking sherry.

OP posts:
serialtester · 07/09/2017 20:18

I'm imagining me talking madly to camera after a few lines of icing sugar. There would be a daily mail article about it.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 07/09/2017 20:34

I'd talk to my neighbouring contestants and then realise I only had 2 minutes to make 12 perfect uniform scones.

At least we could have fag breaks together Serial on that grassy mound outside the tent.

OP posts:
serialtester · 07/09/2017 21:19

I'd have a fag hanging out me mouth while baking!

DustyDuck · 07/09/2017 21:45

Last night I had a weird dream that I had to hide a massive stash and I mixed it with some water so it was like icing and Mel and Sue found it and wanted to buy it Hmm

serialtester · 07/09/2017 21:52

Oooh dusty!
