No more lies

Went to visit my Mum this afternoon. She's 88 and lives in a Care Home. When I left her I blew her a kiss. She misinterpreted it for smoking a cigarette. She said "Do you smoke?" To which I could happily reply "No, Mum, I don't smoke". And that felt really good :)

Ah Becky, what a lovely post, I bet you felt really proud with that response to your Mum....

Unfortunately, I have not come across a situation yet where I have had the pleasurably opportunity to respond that I don't smoke and I am on Day 48!

That's lovely! :)

I'm twisting my fingers and the toes as well for you!

Let's make this our last attempt.
