I'm not sure what that proves. I'm not a huge biscuit fan. Grin

Thinking about it, Ponz would so nibble the biscuit and hide it in her shoe...Grin

I'd resist for 40 minutes so that I could binge on 3 biscuits!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 12/09/2017 21:31

You're a canny soul Serial Wink

Yep, I could stretch out that biscuit, but I could not resist it. How weird am I. Second night no booze but only because DP insisted as he thinks I've been hammering it altho put it more politely than that !

I am so fucking antsy and bored. Just had a shower and going to bed soon.

DD1 continues to enjoy big school but had a sob about getting no merits yet. She's knackered and a little bit of the sleep issue is coming back Sad

Biscuit
serialtester · 12/09/2017 22:01

Lol dusty!!

Ponz, well done you. I'm sure dd will be fine tomorrow.

DustyDuck · 12/09/2017 22:03

Only a glass or two tonight. 5 hr drive tomorrow taking DD2 to uni!

DustyDuck · 12/09/2017 22:06

I think it's called delayed gratification. One now or two later? The drugs link doesn't really make sense because the "good" kids would get double Hmm

serialtester · 12/09/2017 22:16

Oh dusty, big day tomorrow for you!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 12/09/2017 22:54

Good point Dusty it's very simplified. I mean some kids might have had a really big breakfast. Wink
The upshot was this professor noticed the children that abstained used distraction techniques. So not a ground breaking discovery..
Safe journey to uni tomorrow x Are you going to eat that biscuit by the way, don't mind if I do?

Ponz I'm sure dd is really tired. Starting big school is exhausting, poor thing.

Evening all Smile
How's everyone getting on? Hope we're all surfing and surviving the Danger Zone..
I've been glued to my board all week and determined to surf out the weekend. Although I'm antsier than an ant farm today. Haven't even had a drink! yet

Just catching up with the news on the tube bombing today; just awful.

HoochiMama · 15/09/2017 21:13

Hey Lost, I'm here, surfing along too. The excitement of the evening so far has been a trip to Aldi where I bought far too much and can't fit it in the fridge/cupboards. Just about to have a glass of wine. Last weeks shenanigans have put me off going overboard for a while famous last words.

Yes terrible about the tube bomb but sadly it's getting to be the norm and not really a surprise anymore. Don't think we even discussed it much at work. Hope no one too badly hurt though.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/09/2017 21:49

I know what you mean Hooch. Terror attacks have sort of become part of life. Sad

Funny that you went "overboard" in Aldi. An off switch malfunction in the supermarket!
Quite pissed here and trying to ignore the huge white pony missing from the party..Fuck I miss it. Even fags taste better when you're high.

HoochiMama · 15/09/2017 22:06

Ooh I could go a fag! Vaping not quite the same. I know what you mean something missing but is the up worth the down? Think of a lovely fresh Saturday morning rather than a special kind of hell Confused I'm eating my way through the Aldi overload Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/09/2017 22:18

You're right. I'm surfing on but just so blooming tired without my livener. Keep telling myself it's normal to feel tired. I think I've lost sight of what's normal. Confused

Sorry to mention the F word, hope not triggering! Keep up the vaping x

How are we all? Still surfing here. It's been a whole month!!

ponzusoup · 16/09/2017 08:34

Morning and still surfing . Kind of out of the habit of sniffing out the shoe but there is literally a crumb In there. The dealer is in town in two weeks though if I can get over that I reckon I'll be owed lost's balls of steel award.

Well done to one and all , but come and check in whatever the weather let's get the band back together this autumnal weekend ladies.

I might do some baking with the kids and light a fire tonight. DD1 has a heavy homework load with this new school lark which is a bit of a fart as she's not really cracked doing it very independently yet. I guess that's the next thing ......

ponzusoup · 16/09/2017 08:36

Blimey and how bloody rude of me well done serial that's ace! I think I've always seen you as a surfing champ as you've been a proper stalwart since I came on here.

Hopefully like me your mood is a bit more even ( not that it necessarily made you the grumpy bastard it made me) and you are feeling the benefits....

ponzusoup · 16/09/2017 08:38

Dusty how was DD's uni drop off?

serialtester · 16/09/2017 09:02

Yo ponz. Baking and a fire sounds lovely. My mood is pretty even - however on my way to work yesterday I was fantasizing about a nice fat line.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/09/2017 09:28

Morning Brew
Serial wow a month. I'm sending you a badge to sew on to your wetsuit. I guess it's ok to fantasise about it? I also dream about it regularly..[strange]

Ponz it feels like you've turned a corner with this. I'm sending you a surfing round corners badge.
It gives me hope that I can break my own cycle of use. I've made a start by abstaining yesterday although I replaced it with booze last night.

Baking cakes and fires sounds great (not together Grin) very autumnal.

Well done on yesterday lost!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/09/2017 10:57

Hmm, I pretty hungover today though and shouldn't have drunk so much instead of getting high.. A sort of out of the fire and into the frying pan situation.
