My robes will accommodate naked yoga tim and ponz's shoe collection.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/07/2017 23:02

Ah hope you're alright Hooch don't worry I'm being silly! We all love you. Be nice to yourself tomorrow!.

I'm confused as well. Not sure who I'm marrying. Is it Mr B.I now?
Oh well, the party sounds great. I'm sure Mr Lost will be in good spirits after admiring the wedding shoes.

Thank God we're not actually organising a wedding. Never let space cadets be wedding planners. Grin

Yes, hooch - we love you. Please don't be hard on yourself.

serialtester · 01/07/2017 23:09

I think we should start a wedding planning business. We could chill the fuck out of Bridezilla's.

HoochiMama · 01/07/2017 23:11

I don't know Lost, you wouldn't want Mr BI, he has serious issues. 6g in one night wtf!? Ok I'll try to be kind to myself tomorrow, eww dreading it already Confused

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/07/2017 23:27

6g in one night? can I have his number? joking, that is pretty hardcore. It's frightening how use can escalate.

We'll be here to haul you back on your board Hooch. Smile

Ok Serial I'm in. "Off the cuff Wedding Planning; it's all about the party."

We could organise stag nights too!

ponzusoup · 02/07/2017 09:13

Morning! Blimey I missed a whole wedding party bonanza last night. And with naked tim and everything! Reckon I could've made a shoe shaped cake ...

Hope everyone is ok this morning. I feel better for ten hours sleep. Defo need to replete my happy chemicals lost.

Sun is shining today. I'm calling this day 2 Coke free and am building on it from this day forward. For better or for worse to continue last night's analogy.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/07/2017 09:23

I'm glad you're feeling a bit brighter Ponz. A few days dabbling and I start to feel like I'm losing the plot! It's amazing what a good night's sleep can do.

Yep let's surf from this day forward, richer or poorer, for better or for worse.. Smile

Oh boy this is a bad one. I have slept but as soon as I opened my eyes I am covered head to toe in the horrors. Don't know what to do with myself. I have drunk so much over last 2 days and hardly eaten, my poor body. Last time for a while, yuk yuk yuk. For those of you that surfed it out, well done and enjoy feeling normal. You wouldn't want to be where I am right now Sad

ponzusoup · 02/07/2017 10:19

Coffee carbs and a happy comedy box set hooch?

Or a long walk. Even a cry? Sometimes helps me.

Sending massive hugs darling xx keep checking in with us.

HoochiMama · 02/07/2017 10:30

Thanks Ponz, I don't really deserve sympathy as completely self inflicted but it helps to share the pain... Not actually made it out of bed yet, luckily DS is at his dads til later.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/07/2017 10:38

Just take it hour by hour Hooch and ignore the feelings of doom..Try to drink (not that kind of drink!) and eat something. Sips of cold fizzy help me when I'm in a tangle.
Have a bath later when you stop feeling dizzy.
You will feel better soon. Flowers

Sorry I seem to have turned into a bossy matron!
Just to add to your horrors, I think we got engaged last night..Grin

Oh hooch, it's a horrible feeling. Fizzy pop sorts me out as does keeping myself occupied.

ponzusoup · 02/07/2017 11:58

Maybe have fish and chips or something substantial with DS later and go to a movie for total distraction factor?

HoochiMama · 02/07/2017 13:10

Thanks ladies. I managed a bath and a slice of bread then went back to bed. I feel so weak and keep sleeping. Have decided one a month is still too much, what a waste of a weekend.

DustyDuck · 02/07/2017 19:55

Have I missed the wedding?
Had the rest of the bag last night with MrD but may I didn't have enough? Hmm and I felt rubbish by 1am. Still feel crap, kind of blank, zombified and haven't accomplished anything today.

ponzusoup · 02/07/2017 19:58

Ah dusty it's just not worth it is it?

Hooch how are you love?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/07/2017 20:16

Don't worry Dusty the wedding is still in the planning stages. You're bridesmaid and we're letting Ponzu pick your shoes.. Grin
I hate that empty zombified feeling. That can all go in the motivation bank for next time. It's like childbirth isn't it? You only remember the nice bits and blank out all the pain. Confused

Early night for you young lady! And Hooch. Don't worry about not getting much done today, neither have I!

OP posts:
DustyDuck · 02/07/2017 20:30

Aw I've never been a bridesmaid! Yes I'm definitely going to try to give it a swerve next weekend.

DustyDuck · 02/07/2017 20:34

Sorry did you say "nice bits of childbirth"??

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/07/2017 20:39

Yeah sorry, not the best analogy Grin

OP posts:
HoochiMama · 02/07/2017 21:02

I feel your pain Dusty Sad I'm feeling a bit better, slightly less horrified. A 2hr round trip to London to collect DS distracted me for a while. Onwards and upwards, must find something to distract myself next weekend, it's the boredom that gets me. Thanks for all your kind words and advice earlier, it really helped me xx

ponzusoup · 02/07/2017 21:51

You made it through hooch. Tomorrow is another day. Happy to hold you up on your board next weekend if you will hold me up on mine. Let's do it ladies. Synchronised surfing?
