Happy Saturday to all xxx

It is 7 weeks tomorrow since I quit (woop!) and things are feeling a bit easier for now. I am no longer using nrt and using e cig about once a week.

I noticed, with my improved sense of smell, that my house is a bit smelly! What a shocker! I just hadn't noticed it while I was smoking (I wouldn't say this to most people, but we're all friends here xx). At the moment I am getting SO much pleasure from making everything smell nice again, it's been fab. Wondering has anyone else noticed a smelly house? Or any other unexpected side effect from not smoking?

xxxx

Me! My house was stinky too (of course it was, we've established we're basically living the same life!)

Great to get it all lush and clean smelling int it?

Well done on your nearly 7 weeks :)

Phew! That was a lonely hour thinking it was just me! He he xx

AHaha! Sorry, was busy planting beetroot at the allotment :)

Hey, where's my photo gone?! I had a profile pic here, didn't I? Or have I lost the plot?

Ooh I love beetroot.

So excited that you have an allotment. ...:)

Smelly clothes in my wardrobe is what I noticed first, lots of washing and ironing. Unbelievable how we smelt and didn't know.

Well am moving, this will be my first smoke free house ever, the previous lady did not smoke,

Fantastic

I have 4 dogs so the smell of tobacco had quite a lot of competition in my house :eek: I have to say that this year it has been good to smell the bluebells on my walks with the dogs.

Sharon. I only have 1 doggy, but part of the smelly houseness that came into focus was the dog smell that I didn't know was there!

Agree re flowers in general though. Was that there all those years without us noticing!!??
