Happy Tuesday Everybody!!!!

Day 2 of 4 this week, how exciting!

So how is everybody feeling today? I have to say the banter re my tongue revelation yesterday was hilarious, just reading the posts this morning had me in stitches, I am sorry I couldn't join in, I was just so stuffed after my meal last night I could barely breathe, let alone talk and then I just felt tired! But I have enjoyed the posts this morning – you are all sooooooooooooooo funny!

So it’s supposed to be another lovely day today,I hope you enjoy the fresh spring air and feeL good and happy with yourselves in the sunshine. Have a really great day

Love Chrissie xx

Morning all, beautiful day here!

Sorry you're stuck in the office Pinkie zoom, and I hope that even looking out at it will keep you lifted, you got to get out for a coffee break or 2 at least!

About the tongue :) lost the fur! Boy, that's nice! Thought it was all part of the whiskery thing I've recently noticed going on ;)

Coffee time!

Hi Jillygirl, you must have a beautiful view there? Is it ages ago you moved and are now completely finished settling in? I lose track of time. - unless it's days of being smoke free!! For that I can count the days :)

Chrissie, you are a real tonic, thank you :)

Hi Betts Better keep you up to date :- The flat with the view is up for sale again, Yes I have moved again.

I loved the flat but the management was very poor and not run properly it was a case of if anything went wrong , fix it yourself and then tell us, not management will sort it. I am now in a flat very near to my daughters Its for over 55s but its a lovely community spirit with it. Never a dull moment and top notch management. Lovely to see you on here Betts missed ya. :) :) xx

You have been busy!

No good having trouble like that, it's a shame, but sounds like you are in the right place now. It is lovely to be near your daughters, and with people you can have fun with. Who needs hassle?! No-one! There' so much better ways to spend your time - like laughing (where we started this morning :) ) xx

Morning all, yes another beautiful sunny spring day today. Yes thanks for the laughter here, it really is such a tonic. I'm looking forward to Friday this week as it will be a very special day for me. Hoping to get my first badge whoopee doo! In the meantime I will just keep busy and I still find that first coffee in the morning the hardest one but I know you will all keep me going on here. Enjoy your day x

Oh Betts, I see you mention fur and whiskers, sounds a bit like my stray cat I've adopted. Are you sure you're not turning into a cat? My hubby thinks I'm a bit snarly of late coz I pounced on him a few times - I guess I'm not FELINE my old smokey self, which takes a bit of getting used to. He gets the brunt of it, that's why I'm called Briarwood as I'm a bit prickly at the moment ha ha

Betts profile image
Betts

:) :)

Think I might be! Feline kinda purry :) on this fine sunny day.

Looking after mine and heading out to look after my daughter's 2 while she's away is keeping me pretty occupied at the moment - so as well as the whiskers i'm covered in fur! Must stop wearing black things. Oh yes - I'm electric too ;) Is it the ecig or the static from all this stroking??

My hubby has lately discovered the bottom of the garden is the perfect place to be, chopping and building bonfires. Say no more :) Taken up a lot of gardening in the last couple of days, lots of advantages, and making the most of the weather too!

Hi everyone, glad to see you all having an upbeat day today. It's amazing what a bit of sunshine can do for your mood. Shame about that chilly easterly wind though. :)

Good evening everyone. Been a lovely day, tho still a bit chilly me thinks. After a really annoying morning getting ripped off in a council owned car park (paid for 2 hours and got 1) went out for a bike ride this afternoon. Not been on my bike since 3 April. 14.5 miles in 1 hour 10 minutes and feeling much better.

Down to 16mg today Al, not through choice but cos its all I've got. Doesn't seem any different to me.

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply to

Wow Sin - 14.5 miles in 70 minutes - that is amazing. I only walked 1.5 miles in 30 minutes the other day and I thought I was an elite athlete! Well done you (show off :) ) :D :D :D xxx

in reply toChrissieG

My last walk was on 13th March, 3.29 miles in 52 minutes. Am not keen on walking, I can't get far enough quick enough and get bored. I walked to the hairdressers on 10 March but decided am not doing that any more, it's too far cos I'm always busting for the loo by the time I've walked there, had my hair done and am half way home, plus it's up a great whacking hill coming back. It's about 4.5 miles altogether there and back. I have a pic of part of the ridiculous hill, I'll see if I can put it on.

You will have to get yourself a new phone, then you can use map my walk. It's really good for motivation, hmm I might start walking again. Need some new music to walk to though, bit sick of listening to same tunes over and over. There was a reason why I stopped walking though and I can't remember what it was, I know I've got a corn on my little toe from all that treking around I did in February and March and my knees started to suffer because of all the stoopid hills.

I am soooooooooh impressed. You must have been over the speed limit! AND down to 16 mg all in one day. Ok superwoman x

in reply toBriarwood

I worked off my annoyance from this morning pedalling furiously up hills.

I put £1.70 in the machine for 2 hours parking, I needed the 2 hours because its just about the whole worlds birthday in April in our family. So just before I stuck the ticket in my windscreen I checked it to see what time I had to be back because the parking wardens in our town are like spiders. They appear out of little hide outs exactly when your ticket runs out on the dot and book you. So it said 11.15 but........hey I thought it's 10.15 so that is 1 hour, I paid for 2 :( On very close inspection with a magnifying glass it said payment £1.50 (parking for 1 hour is £1.20 but it doesn't give change) now I know I put £1, 50p and 20p in the skanking machine. So, not only did it rob me of 20p because it did not give me back my rejected coin, it also robbed me of 1 hours parking. Fuming was an understatement and were there any parking wardens around anywhere NO.

So, I had specifically gone to this town instead of the town on the other side of me because they have a Primark and the other town does not. And in the end all I had time for was to choose the 100 or so greetings cards that I needed, go for a wee, run into Next, snatch up a bottle of perfume, drum my fingers on the counter while waiting for someone to serve me, then I had to walk straight past Primark in order to get back to the flaming car park, where, as expected was a car park warden, prowling around with pen in hand scouring people's tickets. My whole morning was wasted, and I spent much of it chunnering and muttering, effing and jeffing to myself in the car swearing that I will NEVER set foot in the skanky little hovel of an excuse for a shopping centre EVER again. It's name is Oldham by the way, never go there, it's a dump.

Briarwood profile image
BriarwoodAdministratorDucky in reply to

Ok I Won't be planning any shopping trips to Oldham after your ordeal! Traffic wardens huh! No wonder you had to pedal so fast

Oh how I love to get home from work and read your posts - it really cheers me up after a long day at work and makes me laugh out loud at some of your comments - absolutely bonkers the lot of you :D :D :D - I love it! xxx

Well I was late home tonight because I had to pay a visit to my e-cig shop and got really stuck in traffic as a result! I had made the mistake of picking up some different e-liquid whilst I was in town one day and now I've come to need it - it's absolutely disgusting to me! All is well in Chrissie Land again I'm happy to report after resorting to my "back up" niquitin minis this morning - I just had the one and it felt really hot in my mouth for the first 10 minutes or so - what was that all about? But it helped me to get through the day. Another bonus of my own personal e-cig shop is that the guys who work there are so cute!!!!!!!

By the way - it's was a beautiful day all day in Sheffield, we even opened the office window this afternoon which was so refreshing and nice :)

I hope to catch up with you all later - I think I need to eat now! :)

xxx

in reply toChrissieG

Nicotine lozenges and chewing gum do seem to have a bit of a peppery ring to them. Oooooh, you've reminded me of them now. Was soooo tempted today to go and buy some, but I resisted, can't be going back on those again. Well done you only having the one :)

So very impressed, you are all so together. Can I share a quick anxiety moment? I can,t seem to think straight! I'm all over the place in my head. Day 4. Telling myself this is probably parr for the course, can't remember before.

I did plan to take a walk but did other stuff, couldn't get myself organised! Please tell me this will pass. Good job i'm on holiday, or maybe that's what's up. Can't find things, or remember what it is I'm trying to fi nd!!!

OK, that's it. Got it off my chest. Thank you !

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply toBetts

Betts you know you are doing great right????? : ) And yes, this is definitely parr for the course. I went through this when I was doing my practice days - in truth it is the reason why I knew I couldn't do it without my e-cig - I needed that back up to help me cope and for me it works wonders.

Keep strong as you are going through it - keep reassuring yourself that this is only withdrawal from cigarettes and the body beginning to recover from the effects of smoking. Most importantly keep telling yourself you do not want a cigarette to get you back to "normal" - what is happening is actuallly your body getting back to what normal really is! So relax, and endure it because I promise you it will get better. Do the breathing exercises, enjoy your programme (I'm recording it) and keep telling yourself what a fantastic thing it is to stop smoking. It's the most amazing thing you can do for yourself and it will be one of the best things you have ever done - BE PROUD of yourself xxxx :)

Oh I still got it with my e-cig, just not as badly as when I didn't have the e-cig! I would say I'm still having moments. I still find myself standing in the middle of the lounge staring into space - and even at work actually - then I pull myself together and get on with it! ha ha ha xxx :)

Hey Sin, I got my bike out yesterday. I have a hybrid, not a racing bike so I can't ride as fast as you. I did 8.4 miles in just over an hour. I didn't get off for any hills though and I did have a really big one in the middle so I was really pleased about that. :)

in reply toandi22

helloo, have you got a new bike or have you always had a hybrid. It's a good feeling when you ride up a hill that you used to get off and walk up isn't it. See, if I had a hybrid I could have had a little tootle up the canal as I was next to it, mind you the tow path has a better surface than some of the roads around here :D

andi22 profile image
andi22 in reply to

I've always had a hybrid since I came back to cycling a few years back. I didn't think I'd manage the hills again so soon as it's been over a month since I was last out on it before I went away.

Evening everyone.. although I suspect I'm talking to myself tonight as you've all toddled off to bed.. :) Glad to hear everyone had a good (if somewhat scattered) day. :) Same as myself. After chatting on here last night I woke much more positive this morning. Did lots of houseworky stuff to keep me busy. Only roared once at the kids and twice at the dogs. So mood was good.. :D

But I really could have done with some of those cakes! Major sugar craving today...
