Well I hope you are having a wonderful and relaxing bank holiday weekend - will someone please explain to me what has happened to the weather? It's very dullish and definitely no sunshine around these parts - please come back, please please come back !!!
Anyway don't let the greyish/dullish weather stop you doing whatever you fancy today, it's still a long weekend so enjoy your bank holiday without the pressure of thinking about smoking, it really is better that way
Have a fun smoke free day
Love Chrissie xxxx

Dull here too, but you'll be pleased to hear the forecast sounded a bit more hopeful for you on the East side. Here on the dark side we can't expect much, they said. But they do get it wrong sometimes.
Wishing one and all a good smokefree day, whatever the weather
Plan to keep busy. I am not a happy bunny at the moment, and don't know if it is the stopping smoking or not, just don't really feel myself, not quite comfortable in my skin.
So I have to keep busy, or I dwell, and that's not comfortable.
So about to have a go at an old belly dancing CD I found (!), then clean, clean, clean, then go for a walk about 2. That should do it, I hope
Wish me luck. And wish my hubby a good ride too! He has to be a saint just now. btw he has gone down the garden again
Ah Betts, you are absolutely fine sweetheart, just keep telling yourself that and it will be true! Besides you can't beat a bit of belly dancing to lift the spirits, I wish we could all join you, that would be such a laugh!!!! Oh I wish we could - I'm laughing here just thinking about it! So get those parts shaking girl and smile whilst you are doing it - and just know that we are all with you shaking our parts too (although Monky really isn't very good at this is he????? xxx
I agree - re doing something instead of doing nothing I mean - so I'm going to go and do something now too - actually I'm hungry so I might have something to eat and do something whilst it's cooking - good plan!!!
Catch ya later aligator! xx

Well, ave done some sorting, some weeding, some painting fencing, and have made a list of what to do this week, while am off work but got fed up of that so now I have a cannie a lager in my hand and slurping on that beautyful xx
Are you off work this week? Lucky lucky you!!! I nearly took this week off myself but then decided I will wait until later in the month - I have to say I've lost heart in my job and I absolutely loved my job before - totally loved it

Hey, Chrissie, just give it time eh over the last couple of Years, there has been quite a few changes made at our place, some good some bad mind you mostly bad but you have to go with the times gal, just please give it time eh xx
I will do Monky - I couldn't leave them in the lurch if I wanted to - I'd feel too guilty, it's just I don't feel as happy when I'm travelling to work now like I used to - hopefully I'll get used to it.
Anyway sorry I'm late - it's Sunday night so my dad phoned and honestly he can talk!!!! xxx
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to ChrissieG
Thats cos your his fave Daughter Chrissie If I was your Dad, I would want to talk to you flippin loads and loads gal seeeeee xx
You know that sad thing about that, he barely asks about me - he always asks about the girls though but then I hear all the news of what has been going on down there - it's okay though, I'm used to it xxx
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to ChrissieG
Oh I'm just being a moaning minnie Sin - I'm sure it'll be fine once I'm doing it properly and if I don't like it in a few months then I'll start looking around to see if there's anything else I fancy within the uni - it'll be fine xx
look what hubby did in 30 days. I did 30 days of biking (sometimes) he did 30 days of gardening, digging, fishing, flag laying, general slopping around in mud.
Aup Sinfree, you tell your hubby he has done magic to your garden gal and he is right, that flippin boarder just aint right, sooooo, you want to keep the grass, well, just buy a couple of square meters of turf, and square it up eh cos I can see some of the grass has been well trodden on
Hubby has done a great job Sinfree, you be proud of him eh
Am very proud, and it's beautiful. The grass had got worn away from all the tramping around in the mud he had to do when it was raining loads and he was trying to stop the constant flow of spring water under the pond. Plus the dogs don't do the grass a whole lot of good. You don't reckon it'll grow back then?
Oh sinfree, you have a diamond with your husband there! Looks beautiful and you can enjoy it all summer. Brill.
Bet you've got some strong legs there now with all that biking
Got to say my hubby's been hard at it in the garden too. Very proud of him, and his achievements out there
It may or may not have started with finding a quiet place to be away from the quitting wife/banshee (well, from time to time ), but it has been great. He is really enjoying it. Every cloud.....
Aww, I will pass on all your kind words to him. Poor thing, when he was slipping and sliding around in all that mud and it rained every day he was sooooo sorry he ever started it. He only carried on cos the fish had nowhere to live. One was living in that old black water tank in one of the pics and the other in a fish tank in the house. We also have a very large tray of frogspawn from the old pond if anyone would like any? We did put some in the new pond but the fish ate them, and neither of us can put any more in, its cruel, even though our fish have probably lived off frogspawn every spring. So pretty soon we're gonna have an awful lot of frogs hopping around.
Hey Sin - I think it looks absolutely fantastic, honestly it just shows how much work has been done and it looks amazing! Such a lovely sitting out area now, I am so jealous!!! xx

Hey, Chrissie, I know you live in a flat, but havent you got a window box, cos I could make a patio on that, so you could sunbathe on it eh xx
That would be wonderful but unfortunately I don't have a balcony and we're not allowed window boxes - nice of you to offer to make me a patio though - if I ever get out of here I shall take you up on that offer!! xx
Thanks, I will pass on your compliments. He has been a busy bee. He's done most of it this last week. I'm very surprised he hasn't got a broken back, laying all those flags. It's just a shame that bit of the garden is in the shade most of the time.
Oh my gosh, that actually made my mouth water!!!! Cheers Jilly and thank you Monky Orangutan - I actually loved that dancing oranguant - I actualy want him! xx
He Monky - I think I'll call it a night too now - just watching a fascinating programme about looking after animals in the zoo - haven't seen any monkeys yet though! Night night and very sweet dreams hun xx
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to ChrissieG

Sweet dreams and get through work huggs heading your ways gal xx
