Good morning everyone, I hope you are all feeling well. Some of you early quitters have been feeling sad and a little depressed, but dont worry it will pass. Your body is still adjusting to being smokefree. Once your brain excepts there is no more harmful chemicals heading your way you will start to feel much better.

I have lost track on how many days you PIPPS are on but your doing great.

Enjoy your Saturday and stay Happy! :) :)

ChrissieG in reply toKaprin

Good Morning Kaprin, well you sound on top of the world today! Fantastic :)

Sadly the sun hasn't reached Sheffield yet but I'm sure it will get here eventually! I'm actually thinking of hanging my washing outside today (first time this year) - I do love the smell of freshly dried washing don't you!

Have a wonderful Saturday sweetie

Kaprin in reply toChrissieG

I thought the same Chrissie hung it all out and it decided to rain, just brought it all in and put in the dryer and guess what yep it's sunny again, never mind exercise is good for me x

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply toKaprin

Hi Kaprin.

Well I'm afraid I never got my washing out, the sun did not shine here at all today and is still very overcast! So you got further than I did! I bet your washing still smells fresher than mine will! xxx

jillygirlAdministratorQueen Bee in reply toKaprin

Morning everyone , so you have the sun huh! I read this in the paper last night and thought it was so good I would share it with you all. Life doesn't get better by CHANCE, it gets better by CHANGE. I think that about sums up what we are doing - making changes so life gets better. Good luck with the changes everyone, we are all on this journey together x x

ChrissieG in reply toBriarwood

Wow Briarwood, that is awesome!!! and yes that sums us up beautifully!!! Thank you for posting it, this will now be my thought of the day! Have a lovely day sweetie xxx :)

Good Morning Jilly and Good Morning All :)

I can barely believe it myself but today is DAY 20 for the PIPPs, we are now in Double Double Figures!!! (day 10 being the first double figure)

Double Double Figures for the PIPPs is AWESOME!

I guess we should do a Double Double Dance to Celebrate! :) :D :) :D

I had the most wonderful evening with my girls last night and I cannot describe to you how proud they are that I've stopped smoking. Emily joked that I only had to get them out of the way (off to uni) to do it and they really believed that this was happening now. I was actually online here when they arrived last night and so I showed them the site and what was happening and they were SO impressed,.They could see what a fantastic support system this was to help people like me - long term smokers who were determined to kick the habit once and for all, and they LOVED it! :)

So that was lovely wasn't it! :)

Anyway I left my car at the pub last night so now I have to try to cadge a lift from my ex husband to fetch it, or I've got a fairly long walk , a good part of which is up a fairly steep hill ahead of me! I actually wouldn't mind either, it would really be quite a challenge for me! :)

Have a wonderful Saturday everyone :)

Hi Chrissie, glad you enjoyed your night out. Hope you enjoy your walk ha ha. Congrats on double figures, keep up the good work x x x

Ha Ha ha - thanks my friend - but it's Double Double figures you know! That extra double is so important! :D :D :D

Aup Chrissie, Day 20 now then eh, wow, thats gone sooooo quick and a massive big well done to you :) :) hmmmm, I see I will have to watch you too, otherwise you will be catching me up as well as Briarwood :o :D :D

Am sooooooooo glad your night went well with your Daughters and you enjoyed it :)

My '' Now 87 '' CD has just come, so am going to listen to that for a bit while I do a bum wiggle dance for you :D :D :D

Hey, you flippin walk for your car, about time you did some flippin exercise gal :P :D :D :D

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply tomonky

Hey thank you Monky Minky! Yes I'm pretty proud of hitting the double double figures now! So EXCITING!!! :)

hey I'm happy your NOW 87 CD has arrived - I stopped buying them when I didn't know any of the artists who were on them anymore :) :) :)

And you are so right - I really should walk to fetch my car back - it really is lazy of me to ask for a lift - it would be very very good for me to text my fitness too (although that hill scares me a bit!)

I shall let you know if and when I do it! :) :D :)

Enjoy the happy dancing - I might join in if you do it again tonight

And have a great Saturday :) xxxx

in reply tomonky

Hi Pete, aww I was looking at that CD in Asda the other day. They were playing it and first I heard Tsunami which I love but like Chrissie am rubbish with names so I used my Track ID app on my phone to see what it was, then Calvin Harris came on which I know so I thought ha! compilation CD and went and found it. Enjoy your bum wiggle dancing, though Happy and Hey Brother am just a tad sick and tired of hearing so I don't think I'll buy it myself.

Hi Sin, sorry nearly missed you. Hope your ok. I too am rubbish with names. remember the songs but not the artists. Mines old age. :D :D

in reply tojillygirl

Hi Jillygirl, oh, I just remembered reading yesterday that you didn't sleep too well cos of cramps and stuff. Hope you're feeling a bit better today and that you managed to catch up on your zzzzz's last night.

jillygirl profile image
jillygirlAdministratorQueen Bee in reply to

monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer in reply to

Hi ya Sinfree, so sorry gal, I must have missed you before :( ermmmm, am not sure how I did that :o :D :D

just wondering if you have heard '' All of me '' by John Legend :o I bought this CD cos it has 46 songs on it, it cost me £13.99, sooooooo, what I do is, sort the songs I like, maybe 20 - 25 and burn them to a CD :) if I bought these songs single, then it would cost me at least £20.00 eh :)

Ha ha ha yes, Hey Brother by Avicii is on it :P :D :D

you take care now gal :) :)

monky profile image
monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer in reply toChrissieG

Yep Chrissie, I like motown too, Stevie Wonder, Dianna Ross and the Supremes etc etc :) I love all music really, good music that is :)

Have you ever heard of the '' Ink Spots '' ??

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply tomonky

Just listening to them now - "If I didn't Care" - it sounds sooooooooooooooooo Old! It sounds like the sort of music they had on Downton Abbey or something like that!

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply tomonky

I think these songs have been covered more recently - is that right? :)

in reply tomonky

I have heard of the Ink Spots, I don't know what for but I have heard of them. You're going back a bit there.

in reply tomonky

You taking the mick with these Ink Spots Pete, they're absolutely ancient.

ChrissieG in reply to

ha ha ha - I totally agree Sin!!! :D:D :D xx

monky profile image
monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer in reply to

Hi Sinfree, yeah there ancient gal, but when I was young, my Dad always listened to them, and when I had been dumped by a ermmmm, female, I used to listen to them and they eased my sorrow :)

:o 2hours 57min, I'll have Mr Tesco shouting for using all our broadband up :D I like the first one up to now.

in reply toChrissieG

I remember absolutely ages ago, when we were all putting video's on off youtube, I put a series of songs on all lamenting my sad loss of old nic. Oh well, never completely kicked nicotine into touch anyway, she says typing away with e-cig hanging out of her mouth. They're flipping heavy these things to have hanging out of your mouth. haha not that I ever used to go round with a fag hanging out of my mouth :D

Is anyone watching BGT on ITV at the moment, those light people dancing were good.

in reply tomonky

Hi Pete I think you went off to potter in your garden :D. I had a look on Amazon, CD2 is the better out of the two for me. John Legend :0 dunno, will have to look back on Amazon.

in reply to

Stupid tablet, will have to wind up the laptop. :D this has done my faces all wrong

in reply tomonky

I just found it on Amazon, John Legend, nope, in all honesty despite I listen to radio 1 have never heard it, but.........I may well not have noticed it, not my kinda music, too slow. When I got married (my 32nd wedding anniversary coming up on Wednesday) the useless DJ at the reception never asked me what I would like for the first dance, what did he play? 3 times a lady!! Lionel piggn Richie, I hate, hate, hate that song soooooo much.

in reply to

My Love - Route 94 is better than All of Me, me thinks.
