Evening all. Im on the fizzy water and teA and feeling like a saint. dP is really good at driving the booze free beginning of the week as I think he's scared I'll end up in rehab otherwise ....

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 19/06/2017 21:48

Great stuff Mr and Mrs P, or should I say Saint Ponz Wink Balls of Steel Award is yours.

I'm embracing the Anything Goes thing Serial! We had strawberries and ice cream for tea and I cancelled my walk to work regime this morning. I'm also developing a shower addiction. Confused hopefully it'll replace my other addictions

Have a good day and stay cool everyone. I'm primed for another sober day.

Boards at the ready ladies.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 20/06/2017 09:11

Loving your positive mood today Ponz. Are you noticing you feel healthier after all these sober days? You're doing brill.

Actual surfing in the sea sounds really appealing today, or maybe just lying on a blow up lilo eating a Calippo..

I'm only managing 2 or 3 a week but def feel better the morning after dry days. Think I'm making up for it on drinking days too!

Onwards and upwards.

serialtester · 20/06/2017 19:15

Well done Ponz! Am finishing off last night's wine while cooking dinner.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 20/06/2017 19:25

2 or 3 dry days a week is great going Ponz. I get what you mean about making up for it on the other days. I'm a bit like that with coke. Once the floodgates are open, I have a worryingly insatiable appetite Sad.
Wish I was a take it or leave it sort of person who could say "I'll have a small line and then I'm off to bed."

Really craving it tonight and my shower addiction is out of control.

Massive well done for going near your oven in this heat Serial Grin

I know, I deserve a medal! Ditto to the lack of moderation. On my night of madness I had at least 4 really big lines in 45 minutes. Ridiculous. I realise that I have no self control at all.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 20/06/2017 22:27

Were you timing yourself Serial? Grin That sounds like a PB.
Joking of course (!)
That's me too, and the reason it's best if I avoid that first line. It took me a long time to work that out and I still kid myself sometimes...

Swerved it tonight though and looking forward to bed.

It was nearly a PB I think. Certainly Olympic standard. Am looking forward to bed tonight - am too tired and too hot!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/06/2017 20:23

I think I've achieved a personal best for the longest shower category tonight. Grin

I'm knackered too Serial this week feels very long. And hot. Drove home from work and realised I couldn't actually hold the steering wheel as it was burning my hands. It was problematic.

Have a cool evening surfers.

This week has been an endurance test! Feel so sorry for pregnant people that I work with. Tomorrow should be cooler though - I hope so cos I've reached the limits of FUCKING hot weather work wear. Another day like today and I'll be going in in me bra and pants.

DustyDuck · 21/06/2017 22:05

Rented to go braless and knickerless serial but would put a dress on for work Wink

DustyDuck · 21/06/2017 22:06

ponzusoup · 22/06/2017 17:49

Thank Christ weather seems to have broken. My dealers in town this weekend. Please help me not to order any.

serialtester · 22/06/2017 18:12

You can do this ponz.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/06/2017 18:31

Sounds like you're suffering with coke on the brain Ponz I have chronic bouts of it where my mind starts mulling over where I can get it, can I justify it, this time the comedown will be fine, in fact there won't be a comedown because I'll make sure I'm in bed by a certain time...Hmm

Stay strong Ponz! I'll be surfing with you this weekend. Do you have any plans? apart from climbing the walls? Confused

I'm having a Stella (to celebrate the end of the heatwave).

Danger zone tomorrow lost, are you ready to swerve?

ZiggertyZaggerty · 22/06/2017 22:48

Sploshing... Been a while! Tolerance totally down! Mr Z home so obvs! Gonna put away all shoes and baking dishes tomorrow... (hopes)

ponzusoup · 22/06/2017 23:26

Thank you ladies. Z you can come back tomorrow and surf. I'm thinking about it constantly because I have access. Availability is all. Fuck. If I gave up alcohol I wouldn't even consider Coke.

ZiggertyZaggerty · 22/06/2017 23:40

Oh Ponz - totally true! Speak tomorrow x night surfers x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/06/2017 07:53

Morning all.
Nice to see you Zig back with a splash last night Wink (welcome home Mr.Z) Hope you're ok this morning.

It's Friday, let's keep those boards steady..
I'm back to walking to work and running home now the weather is back to normal. There's a breeze and everything!
Dusty you can even wear your bra and pants to work Grin

Have one on its way but have managed a clean week... we got one last Wed that we split over Wed and Fri.... it's progress I guess... Confused

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/06/2017 19:12

Hi Cleaning Yes definitely progress after your recent blip. Hope you're alright. Things haven't been easy.

I must admit, I'm seething with jealousy about "one on it's way" Envy. God I love that feeling of anticipation.
I was determined to have a clean weekend but having a bit of a wobble tonight. At the moment I'm aiming to keep distracted and busy round the house. Confused
The truth is, I'm bored and really want a line!

Hope everyone else is having a chilled evening.

Chilled and clean, watching Glasto on tv with just white wine
