[EmJay]

Good Morning Everyone,

another Thursday upon us already which means we have a weekend fast approaching

I'm now sat back at my desk and playing (proper) catch up on here - it's much easier at a computer than on my phone so please accept my apologies if I've missed anyone's posts over the past couple of days.

JillyGirl, I hope your move goes smoothly today and that you don't have any hiccups at all

kizwiz, keep marching on ahead and you'll be fine

Eithne, carry on getting excited towards reaching your quit date. Remember that planning is one of the keys to success

Friezfriend, big positive hugs being sent your ways. I hope you are feeling much better today

Lisa79, I hope all is going well for you today. You know where we are if you need us

Pete, I'll catch you tonight probably - Unless you run too fast ha ha

Sin, I can't remember what you are up to today but I remember that you are busy

mrssunnyside, Bore da!

Andi and Sue - big waves to you

Everyone else, stay positive and you know where we are if you need us

Hey Teddy08, lovely to have you join us. There are a few cat lovers on here so don't be shy in sharing a photo of Teddy if you like, or maybe have him as your avatar

10 weeks is brilliant, you've done ever so well Let me know your exact quit date and I'll see that you are added to our Wall of Winners - the place where every quitter is a winner

I think it must be my turn to put the kettle on, any one for a brew?

Hi Emjay and teddy, I was working today. Izzy bizzy. Passed quick tho. The quitters at work are still quitting. How's your cold is it better today Emjay?

[andi22]

Hi Emjay, sin and welcome to teddy (and everyone else).

Hope you're all coping well today - one day left this week then it's the weekend. Leave some of those stresses at work and get out to enjoy the fresh air helping clear those poor lungs of all the nasties that have been pumped into them for so long.

Hiya Pete. I went out running on Tuesday with the running group and was going to go out this evening but didn't bother in the end. Next outing will be on Saturday to the Parkrun now. I see our Emjay has you running now - How far do you get on your outings then?

[Hidden in reply to andi22]

Hya Andi, did you read about my little jogettes on Tuesday, you would have been proud anyway am just gonna try out my x box on my new Telly so will maybe catch you all later.

[andi22 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah, I thought that was really funny and was thinking we could make up a group of us middle-aged people and call ourselves The Jogettes.

[Hidden in reply to andi22]

Yeah what are those things called, where you cycle, run and swim. Mind you I'm pretty rubbish at swimming. jog, pedal and paddle haha.

[monky Administrator 45 Months Cake sniffer outer in reply to andi22]

Hi Andi yes you have a bit of a rest tonight gal, cos it does you gooooood to have a rest now and then eh

Ha ha ha , hey, got my trainers on ready for Emjay if she appears mind you, saying that, I dont think I could run very far tonight, cos had a bit of a hard day at work

Is your friend still staying with you ??

[andi22 in reply to monky]

Yeah, she cooked a yummy dinner tonight - some pork steaks with an orange and onion sauce, sliced jacket potatoes and brussels sprouts. Hubby came home this evening - he works in London Mon to Thurs. They haven't exchanged on their hopeful new place yet and have gone out to the pub somewhere now.

[monky Administrator 45 Months Cake sniffer outer in reply to andi22]

Hmmmm, I could do with one of those 4 day week jobs

I can see your going to miss your friend when she goes, what, with all them dins she's cooking for you

[andi22 in reply to monky]

Hey Pete, he's a plumber!

[monky Administrator 45 Months Cake sniffer outer in reply to andi22]

Hmmmm, so there is money in plumbing then

Mind you, you say he works in London

[andi22 in reply to monky]

He comes from there so just kept his clients and contacts, as well as his family.

[Hidden in reply to andi22]

I had pork steak tonight too cooked in herbs with steamed potatoes in their skins, cauliflower, carrots, a few spiced wedges and peas. Was like a flipping Christmas dinner, he does look after me my hubby.

[EmJay Partner]

Evening All

I'm chillaxing tonight with my PJ's and comfort blanket on the couch

Sin, I still have a stinking rotten head cold. I've been clock watching all day so that I can have my next round of paracetamol

Pete, how the hell are you doing? It's been forever since we were online at the same time

Andi, you still aiming for your next PB? Are yo still doing anything with the C25K?

[monky Administrator 45 Months Cake sniffer outer in reply to EmJay]

Aup Emjay, its lovely to see you back gal after all that trekking you've bin doing

I'm doing just fine at the moment Emjay, thank you for asking 11 weeks and 4 days now but I'm in hush hush mood on this attempt

[andi22 in reply to EmJay]

I hope you haven't got one of those dreadful baby-grow things that they're selling in the shops at the moment. I'm planning another Parkrun on Saturday but not planning on PBing again. I did want to run 4 miles before I went away but not sure I'm going to manage it now unless I do it on Monday.

[monky Administrator 45 Months Cake sniffer outer in reply to andi22]

What dreadfull baby-grow things

[Hidden in reply to EmJay]

Aww, they're not nice colds, especially when you're at work. Hope it soon goes.

[EmJay Partner]

Well Pete, you know you only have to 'holler if you need us. You've become your own best expert now and know what to do, but as I've already said - Give us a shout if you feel a struggle eh? We believe you can do this

Andi, I wouldn't be a proper scouser without a onesie ha ha but I have to say that I'm not into the animal print You are so focussed with your exercise regime, I really do marvel at you. Do I remember rightly that you didn't used to do much exercise before stopping smoking?

[monky Administrator 45 Months Cake sniffer outer in reply to EmJay]

I bet she didnt do none not even gardening

Emjay, I will definitely give you and the others a SHOUT, if I need it gal thank you for being there if I need you

[monky Administrator 45 Months Cake sniffer outer in reply to EmJay]

Hey Emjay, am so sorry to hear you've got erm, man flu but I had a touch of flu a couple of Years ago, and found this stuff called '' Night Nurse '' I tell you it was great, cos I used to take it just before I went to bed, it used to knock me out

When you have a cold and you cant sleep at night, it makes you worse well, thats my thinking
