I don't know how you managed to survive work the day after lost! Hope you're feeling better today. Doing various family things this weekend so I am firmly on my board.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 25/11/2017 09:51

Great going Serial!
I actually felt so ill last night, it was one of the worst headaches I've ever had, starting in my neck and all over my eyebrows!? Not sure why it was so much worse than usual.
Hopefully it's put me off going back there, it was grim Hmm

Hope everyone else is still surfing.. Happy Saturday all.

It's incredible how grim it makes us feel - yet we manage to forget.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 25/11/2017 11:49

Tsk, memories like goldfish eh?
Maybe we all need to have a photo of ourselves when we're at our worst stuck on our fridge as a deterrent. Confused

Last night by circumstance, not effort, I had a massive swerve. I'm so glad that I don't feel like shit!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 26/11/2017 10:14

Morning all Brew Hope we're all doing ok?

Sounds intriguing Serial Did you order some and it didn't turn up? I'm sure you're glad of it now.

I had the remnants of my Headache from Hell last night so went to bed feeling sorry for myself. I think I've annihilated my sinuses. (I do have a tendency to be dramatic about these things though) Wink

I was meant to spend the evening with a friend but there was a last minute change of plan and I had to be somewhere else. Said friend had ordered in and had I been there I'd have had loads.

Anhiliated sinuses would be a great punk band name!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 26/11/2017 10:48

The Anihilated Sinuses on tour Grin

Wow sounds like fate intervened Serial Your sinuses have had a lucky escape there.

Yes, my sinuses are thanking me this morning!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 26/11/2017 11:06

Track 1; Medicate my headache mate (a real head banging tune)
Track 2; Thank fuck I didn't go there last night (feat. Serial on Bass guitar).

Moving house has led me to do in 7g alone within 3 weeks... oh fuck

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 26/11/2017 11:48

Hi Fated are you ok? Moving house is a nightmare!
You're welcome to tell us your woes and hopefully we can cheer you on in making some changes? No judgement here. Smile

Nice swerve Serial even if it was due to circumstances. Hope your headache's better today Lost, I'm sure your sinuses will recover. Hey Fated, welcome aboard, feel free to offload on here.

I'm recovering from a day of shopping with DS, he's worse than a woman! We went to 4 different shopping venues and finally got home around 11. I necked a lot of vodka rather quickly and have a tad of a hangover but feeling positively shiny compared to previous weekends Smile

ponzusoup · 26/11/2017 12:06

Off the board inevitably. 4 lines. Need to get rest out of house. Boo. Will suffer this week. Must not ever order it. End of.

Well done to surfer dudettes who danced on the waves. Sinusettes and the bad moods?

ponzusoup · 26/11/2017 12:09

Fated moving house is up there with bereavement and divorce for stress. Hang on to your hat. I went mental when I moved last year ( looong story as to why but I didn't want to move it broke my heart. dP took kids away and me and my mate took 3G the night of the move leading to a mini breakdown on my part. I actually felt like I'd broken my mind. So take care! Stress plus drugs is a bad combo.

serialtester · 26/11/2017 12:31

God, moving house is shit! No wonder you're in choppy waters fated.

fatedtopretend · 26/11/2017 12:47

Just finished my last bit an hour ago-obviously want more now. So fed up of spending like this! I feel like I need the gear to clean the old house. 2 more hours here then I'm out.
Problem is we have to stay with parents a few weeks before the new house is available-will have it all again soon!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 26/11/2017 13:02

It all sounds horribly stressful and tiring Fate. The end is in sight as far as cleaning the old house at least.

Can you plan something to de stress later? Even just a long soak in the bath. I have a tendency to turn to the white stuff in times of stress but conversely it does sort of increase the anxiety.
It's a vicious circle that's so blooming easy to get caught in. If you can avoid anymore today then that's a huge achievement.
Big hug for you. Flowers

serialtester · 26/11/2017 13:05

Avoiding anymore today sounds like a good idea. Like lost said plan something nice/relaxing for later. I am also a hot bath fan!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 26/11/2017 13:07

Oh and well done Hooch. I have a ds that's obsessed with clothes too. He's started 6th form so can wear what he wants to school now. #it's all about the image.. Grin

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 26/11/2017 13:09

You've got to love a hot bath! It's my remedy for practically anything.

OP posts:
serialtester · 26/11/2017 17:55

Fate - how has today gone?

fatedtopretend · 26/11/2017 20:51

Finally in bed! All done and dusted. Now the plan is to stay off stuff as long as possible!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 26/11/2017 21:38

That's brilliant fate it must be a relief to get the worst of the move over with.
Hope it's not too stressful staying with your parents! It's a new week, fresh start so let's get on our boards and look forwards.

I'm in bed too. Finally feeling better after my relapse and what a waste of a weekend. My life feels like a farce sometimes. Honestly, you couldn't make this shit up.

Anyway, positive thoughts for a clean week Smile
