Okay, this is what I need to do right now. I need to have a shower and wash my hair and clean my teeth because I haven't done it for five days (since Sunday night) and I feel gross. 

I thought owning up to it might help.

I will come back and let you know when I have done it.

I hadn't showered for 5 days and today I showered AND washed my hair. Good job you!

Wow @Arizona

Plus brushing teeth is overrated x

Lol... I can't cope if I haven't brushed my teeth after eating anything. Sometimes I don't eat because I don't have access to floss and a tooth brush! @Former-Member @Arizona

You can get those tiny travel toothbrush packs that can fit in your handbag. Also some floss. Who gives a fuck what you do in the toilet after a meal. Totally reasonable x

Sorry if I overstepped. I just went searching for somewhere to talk tonight. Took me half hour to find how to post!!! Idiot!!!

Plus I am now a convert of dry shampoo. Freaking Awesome. Spray and brush and not even my husband knows!

[BPDSurvivor]

Tooo funny @Former-Member . I've never used that shampoo stuff.... maybe I should. Is it emergency shampoo?

Anyway, I'm glad you've found a place to hang out tonight. And even better, you managed to post! Well done.
