Lornaj

(Off to check on the others)

Someone should be along to get them in soon Jack :)

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 ;)

Keep Month 2 warm and cozy for us

Did someone mention wine??

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!!:)

nsd_user663_5598 profile image
nsd_user663_5598

I had my last puff on the 11th...so does that mean I've been a day behind? Nothing new there then.

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.

Cheers

Sue

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

Cyprien profile image
Cyprien

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?

I had my last one on the 11th at about 1am - then went to bed and didn't smoke ALL day, so I count the 11th as my quit day! :D

nsd_user663_5812 profile image
nsd_user663_5812

I had my last one on the 8th but counted the 9th as my quit day as it was a full day. At the erd of the day who cares !!!!!......your an OctoQuit lol

All in so far

Hi

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.

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)

See you guys in Month 2 very soon - no doubts

Update:

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.

Christine if off in Liverpool I think, for a long weekend of fun - wedding anniversary if i recall correctly?

That was why she cheated slightly by moving in Month 2 just half a day ahead of time.

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!

Welcome Aisling and Bob, great that you have both stayed strong and smoke free :cool:
