Surely it must be just the one round you have to get in when your the latest in? Haha, I hope so otherwise I'm off on holiday from the 16th to the 21st
I'm slightly confused still, I'm day 28 today, so my calendar month is this Friday but I've only been in month 1 one week, are you sure I should be moving out this soon?? (I got the chair by the fire and I now know the bar staff very well).
Anyway my brain hurts, someone tell me on what day I'm supposed to move and I will bring the other two with me (I'm now a triplet with Frenchy & Elaine!!).
Otherwise I am stressed today but not craving fags up to now. Hope the rest of you are happy and having a good day.

Ahem...you don't get in here before me....get to the back! I'm not due here till the 12th....I think:confused: I'm also not sure about my quit date...some say it's the day you had your last ciggie...some say it's the first day of not smoking. What's the general concensus? (cos I might be able to sneak in a day early!)

Oh if you make it the 13th of October we could be Quads!!! Yeah!!
I had my last ciggie Monday the 12th october at 8.30pm! So my first day was Tuesday the 13th October. Hell you need a degree in physics to work this out!!
I've no idea. Just pick a date which you think you stopped smoking on. I went for my first full no smoking day, although I sorted of stopped half way through the previous day. Just wanted to be an Octoquitter with you all as Oct 1 was my first full day.
Not sure how the months work. I thought you *do* month one ie your first full month - and then move up to month two - as you're now in your second smoke free month. Let's do it like that anyway - and I'm sure we'll be told if we're messing up some pre-ordained system!
Now hurry up and get here. I'm sort of taking it as the calendar month, so we could have a mad rush around 12th/13th. Best check the bar supplies.
JJ - I would take it your 1st day was the 12th so you are correct (no quads for us).
I agree with Sue, I thought I'd spend my 1st month in here and then move to month 2 on the 13th December. I think I moved to month 1 a week early. Anyway I'm staying in Month 1 as I'm cosy and I can get the newbie’s to buy me drinks for information (and you lot thought I was stupid).
However I will pop in to see you all when I need a packet of crisps or something
Ha, I've got it. (I think). It goes 'the second week', 'the third week', when you're entering ieon/in/completing your second, third week etc. Then it jumps to 'First Month', ie no week 4, so you're completing the first month in there but only for a week.
Then, on the anniversary, of you're first month, you go to Month two, because you're entering your second month.
Or have I got that wrong? I need another drink trying to puzzle that out. Jack, you still at the bar?
Brilliant, just found Lorna and Elisabeth, in Month 1. They're on their way over.
But that means....(drum roll)......that we are all present and correct for the first 10 days of the month. Six out of six. No-one fallen by the wayside or given in to temptation. I think that's fantastic.
Other news, Jack you can down down from bar duty now - Lorna and Elisabeth are on call.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....Im Scottish and living in Yorkshire we NEVER go to the bar......:mad:
Everyone get ready to squidge over and make room for a little one tomorrow! I shall spend today drinking the bar dry back in month 1 - we don't want there to be any left over now more of us are coming over here!

Haha, that's how I work it out, get it all sorted in my mind and then I re-think it all over again and get :confused:.
But I'm glad to read what you put Sue and now I'm sticking with it.
I too had my last smoke half way through the day, the 14th Oct but consider the 15th to be my start day and my first complete smoke free day.
I hope that bar will be re-stocked with either Tia Maria or Baily's? I'm going to enter Month 2 on Sunday (or midnight Sat)
.......... with coke? Or for a really special treat.............Tia Maria WITH Baileys :cool:
'Tis beautiful, but you can't have too many
Both :-0 With coke and ice to begin with, then on it's own, then with Baileys (2nd favourite drink) then,....... then............ with Vodka and Coke with ice..... Black Russian I believe - not worried about it's name, it just tastes lovely
Oh........ a Tia Maria Smoke free buddy, brilliant ... and I've yet to find my limit
I am still here. My first day in week 3 today I am really proud of myself! Still eating too much but I will worry about that after new year now. Going to concentrate on still being smoke free for Xmas and newyear.
So, after a hectic day with the 'triplets' arrival in Month Two, we are still with a FULL HOUSE for the Octoquits.
This 100 per cent success rate has got to be better than any other known no-smoking aid. So hope we can keep to end og the month.

We can have a quiet day today (don't think anyone's expected) in preparation for the double arrival of Pol and Juliebean.
Save some Baileys.
Sue
This is great, well done it is becoming quite a team effort. Just think the day after we welcome Dawn into Month 2, Sue is off to start it all again in Month 3.....and so on.
Thx Sue for keeping count it is appreicated and helps loads...

Until we reach Month 4 & 5, we only get to be a whole 'group' for one day.
Look out Month 4 & 5
Sue, thanks from me too for 'keeping us in order count and checked in'
Still on target for a full house, though we've got a few days of no new arrivals. Probably just as well, as it'll give us a chance to clean the red carpet, quite a few alcohol stains on it now!
Half way through November and 14 out of 14 Octoquitters present and correct in Month 2!
Tweo more in today. COngrats and welcome Curly Bob and lucanlass.

Think we've lost our first one - no sign of sammie. Anway good to have our two latest team-mates arriving. Has anyone told you, your initiation involves alcohol, curries and cakes for your fellow room-mates.
Only for one day though, tomorrow we should be seeing wheretheresawilltheresaway coming over the road from Month 1 to MOnth 2.
I've brought a case of Bollinger and some Guinness being from Ireland thought it would be appropriate. I've also got lots of chocolates and jelly tots and a a delivery coming from my local indian tonight
Oh Aisling I love Bollinger (you are my new best friend, do not talk to the others!!). Well done my love
Hahaha, Christine befriends and loves everyone who comes with alcohol, she was so drunk the night Julie and I arrived that she didn't even notice that in return for nicking all the chocolates, I hid her mattress and new best jeans out in the cold shed
Welcome Aisling and Bob, great that you have both stayed strong and smoke free :cool:
Christine...... behave and no you can't have the whole flippin' case:mad:
Where's my Scottish Tia Maria drinking buddy Super Sec?
