Good morning all, Hope the weather is ok wherever you are. Get all your shopping and chores done today , before we get the horrid storms they have forecast. At least you dont have to try and light a ciggy up in 80mile and hour winds and rain. We have all done it.

Enjoy your Saturday no matter what your up to. Be a happy non smoker. :)

Good Morning All :D

JillyGirl, I hope your day has started in an extra positive and less challenging way than the past couple of days :-) You've dealt with everything really well and your response has shown that you are a roper non-smoker now. Many people would ave used all your past events as an excuse to have 'just that one smoke'. You're a real winner :-)

I'm on Aunty duties today but will pop on in a couple of hours and join in with any antics :-) ;-/ :D

Have a lovely day everyone and watch you don't get blown away! For those of you living in Florida.... ;-) well, see if you can blow some of that nice weather our ways :D

Today is a good day to think about all your reasons for wanting to stop smoking or to stay stopped.

Don't allow your reasons to stop turn into your excuses to start again....

See you all in a bit :-)

Very good morning to you all....

Jilly "yes" I like that about more work = less worry.

Had a good evening out last night and among smokers !!! So I preached the good news about quitting and tried to explain that smokers are suckers & how the addiction works etc etc... doubt any of them will be speaking to me again !!!! Mind you quite a few were impressed I had stopped and just in case you did not know I will be 3 months NOPE tomorrow...

Big thanks to everyone on this site because the knowledge picked up & SUPPORT has made all the difference. Knowing that Cravings will pass and however mad you feel in those early days it does get better, also it is a massive help that we are all going through the same thing.....

Have a GREAT SMOKE FREE DAY & BE POSITIVE

Jonathan

NOPE NOPE NOPE

in reply to quit

Tsk, now what did we tell you about preaching, it won't be well received then someone will 'accidentally' blow smoke in your face if you push it too much. ;)

Hi everyone,

It's dull and grey here today but at least there's no rain. Love your opening Jillygirl, it made me laugh at myself as i remember trying to light up in gale force winds :D :D

Thankfully i feel a bit better today, another trip to the docs is on the cards i think, if i do disappear it's cause i feel ill again.

Having a lazy day, whatever your all up to I hope you all have a great NOPE day :) xx

Hi everyone, jillygirl you can't half make me laugh, the vision of trying to light up in gale force winds haha.

Sue sorry your not feeling so well, hope you pick up soon,

Jonathan ...3 months NOPE...amazing. Well done for braving an evening with smoking friends and not being tempted.

Pete enjoy your pottering. Emjay is the perfect Aunty, those kids are in for a fun day.

I have just done the supermarket battle so safely tucked up back home now, sky very grey, looks like the heavens are going to open any minute. An afternoon of ironing for me......I know how to live! Off to Manchester tomorrow afternoon with my sister, going to see Jamie Cullum at the Lowry, staying overnight and a day off Monday so that will be nice.

Rev21 you are in the right place....Florida Sunshine.. divine.

Hi Pete,

I go on holiday in February, for a month, can't wait to sit in the sun.

My flat is nice and cosy, just have to sort the garden out, don't know what to do with that other than cut the grass, maybe i'll sit the hubby in it like a garden gnome :D :D

monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to sue52

:D :D :D

HI peeps. Never did make it out on my bike today, yes Pete it was foggy and raining and drizzly this morning, sorry about the weather forecast last night, blame the numpties at the BBC, personally I wouldn't pay them in bloody tap washers :D

I just had to share this, it has absolutely nothing to do with smoking but I have found it absolutely fascinating. Its a website where people who's hobby it is to roam around derelict factories and take pictures and then post them for all to see. It's sad to see how industry has declined so much over the last 50 or so years, it's fascinating to see these huge factories and to imagine what they were like when they were buzzing in their hey day. Also some of the graffiti that's hidden away in these places is brilliant, so much wasted talent......but maybe not, maybe they're just practising.

I've been browsing ever since. Urban decay in pictures. This links to the inside of a brewery in Sheffield that used to brew Stones Bitter. When you go on the link, scroll down to the pic of the pink elephant, absolutely brilliant. Also the hole in the ceiling where the brewing vat once belonged - a great picture.

Who knows, maybe one day tobacco factories may end up on this website - having become relics of the past ;)

monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to

Hey Sinfree, just had a quick looksy, bin down to the pink elephant :D did you notice the letters on the bottles !! it spelt, '' dflirium tremens '' which in Latin means -- '' shaking frenzy '' :D I dont think I've got that bad yet :o :D :D

There's some good artists about, if only they would put it on canvas eh :) but, hey, it brightens the place up a bit :D :D

in reply to monky

wow, you speak Latin?? I did notice the letters but didn't understand why they didn't make sense. Truth be told, cos they didn't jump out at me as words I could read I just ignored them. Thanks for interpreting :)

Hi sinfree,

That's a brill website, love some of the pics, it is sad to see the decline in industry though, hope your right about the cig factories, they could turn them into something else so that people keep their jobs :)

I hope you don't get that hurricane that's meant to be here tomorrow, maybe the weather men got it wrong again, hopefully :)

sue523 YEAR WINNER in reply to monky

:D :D my windows are shut Pete, and the heating is on :)

in reply to sue52

Hi Sue. There are all sorts of places on there. One being a biscuit factory in Glasgow, Gray, Dunn and Co? I think the worst of the wind is supposed to be in the South and South West. I hope we don't get it. I would be very upset to lose the roof as we had loft insulation put in on Friday and its taken 12 months to clear out the loft ready :D

sue52 profile image
sue523 YEAR WINNER in reply to

in reply to monky

haha. He's awake. He's ebaying again. Seeking out a car for our Son. He's found me my bike so now his mission is to find a car that actually lives up to its sellers vivid imagination that seems to take a hold when they write out the ad :)

Am actually going to have to go and make a brew, then I will have to go and sell my turnips in my animal crossing game before the shop shuts, otherwise they'll go rotten and my investment will be lost :) So I will bid you a good night Pete and Jillygirl if you're still around, sleep tight and see you tomorrow, provided we've not been blown away or sunk under a deluge of rain.

monky profile image
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to
