I've Arrived :)

nsd_user663_61094 profile image

Well after a year of being thrown some major curve balls I'm happy to say I've remained smoke free and am now entering the penthouse, Yayyy!

It hasn't been an easy journey and there are many times I could have turned to my old friend Nic for comfort and support. However I made some new friends instead!

Without all your support and my dogged determination to never smoke again things could have been different. So thank you everyone for all the kindness and support you have shown me, particularly during those early days.

I congratulate everyone who has entered and will enter the penthouse in the next year. Stay strong, the health benefits alone are so worth it!

Much love, Linda

So very very pleased to be reading this, to say you had a difficult year is a understatement, but you held tight to your quit, crossed over to a better place, you deserve some special treatments in the penthouse, enjoy your freedom Lyndylou .

I do hope your very proud, as we are , fantastic.

Well done Linda xx

Finally managed to log on (first day back at work and under cosh) to cheer you home dear Lindy-Loo! :D:D:D:D:D

You were the first person I thought of this morning and I can't tell you how delighted I am to watch you march proudly across the threshold. Sleepless in Scotland has become Peerless in the Penthouse and what a fantastic and incredibly well-deserved achievement it is! It would have been so easy for you to fall at one of the many (and considerable) hurdles that was placed in your path over the course of the year but you surmounted it all with grit, determination and sheer guts and I can't tell you how much I admire your courage and committment.

HURRAH FOR OUR LINDY LOO- PENTHOUSE MEMBER FOREVERMORE!!!

Now please do allow me to show you around. There are more bars than you can shake a stick at and the waiters are pretty tasty too! :):):)
