HAPPY TUESDAY EVERYBODY!

Congratulations to everyone on this stop smoking journey. If anyone has any doubts about giving up, please read Jilly’s post from Sunday about the 15 different types of cancer caused either directly or in part by smoking – it should really make you feel happy and proud that you have given up the deadly weed and help to strengthen any wobbly resolve as well!

This is a fantastically positive thing we are doing for our health and our lifestyle and our finances – If nothing else I feel so relieved that I have taken back control and made the decision that NO, I’m not doing that any more – it’s empowering and the sense of freedom and relief is amazing, actually, it’s no wonder I’m happy!

So never doubt your choice no matter what this journey may throw at you – IT’S A GOOD DECISION so be proud!!!

NOPE everyone, and have a really great day, even if it is back to work (like me!)

Love Chrissie xx

Good morning Chrissie, and everyone,

You are so right about staying positive. Its no joke being told you have cancer. It happened to me. I was fortunate they could operate. So 1 lung missing and shortness of breath I live to tell all of you please dont smoke.

Its amazing how we think "it wont happen to me" attitude. Where in fact it does happen. so stay focused and have a lovely smoke free day. xx

I've just been trying to find Andi on fb to see what her pt says about her :D :D

in reply tomonky

:D I tried that last night but I couldn't find her, did you have any luck?

Helloo Jilly and Pete. Hey Pete, you were right about ordering some good weather for your hols from work. It's been really nice today. Stupid weather app on my tablet said it was going to rain today so I didn't plan anything properly and its been really nice. What you both been doing?

jillygirlAdministratorQueen Bee in reply to

You must have got our sunshine, didnt rain but got pretty cloudy.

in reply tojillygirl

Jillygirl, its been lovely here, had my shirt off for a bit, then it got a bit breeeeeeeezy, :o its gone all dull now, but am not bothered, cos ave done what I wanted to do :) :)

monky profile image
monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer in reply to

Hi Sinfree, you just listen to my weather forecasts eh :D :D

I've just about finished planting all my tubs and baskets plus, pluuuuuuuuuuuuuuus ave been for a lovely walk over the fields to ermmmm, think about things and to get my mind in prospective :) :)

How about you gal ??

in reply tomonky

oooh, I'll be back in a sec. Just started filling in a survey, but I don't think it will take very long :)

in reply tomonky

Well that survey was a waste of time cos I need to print the voucher and being as I'm on my laptop which isn't connected to a printer and it hasn't done the usual PDF style voucher I couldn't save it and so I missed out in the end :o oh well.

And have you got your mind sorted now then after your walk? :) I made a website this morning to go with my garden and pond. I like making websites, I've got one for my bike rides and one for my office sorting, I need that to keep me motivated. Then went out this afternoon for a present for my son's birthday which is on Friday. I have no vehicle at the mo cos both the van and the car needed taxing in the same month which gets a bit expensive, so we decided to put the car on a SORN for a month. Beginning to severely regret that idea now. I can drive the van but unless I can find a parking space that I can drive out of I'm stuck, cos I'm not reversing a van that you can't see out of the back of. :o

monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer in reply to

:D :D :D Sinfree, you dont half tickle me gal :D :D

Look in the flippin mirrors gal :o :)

in reply tomonky

Nooo, cos the mirrors can't see right round the back of the van - don't forget it's a transit.

What was wrong with your bike?

in reply toandi22

It's a faff chaining it up when you get there. There's never anywhere properly to chain a bike to when you go to shopping places. Makes you laugh doesn't it, they're having the Tour de France going through our town but they must be the least cycle friendly place in the country. What really annoys me is there is a Halfords there with a whole top floor dedicated to selling bikes but nowhere outside to chain your bike up tsk

andi22 profile image
andi22 in reply to

Yeah, and if you run, you get a bit sweaty! :D :D :D

in reply toandi22

Run :o I don't do running, besides it's about 4 or 5 miles away. I'd need an ambulance by the time I got there.

Good evening everyone.

Chrissie, enjoy your few days break from here. :)

Pete, you won't find me on fb cos I'm not on there. I don't even know what's written although I know that my name has not been mentioned! :o

It was sunny here today too with cloudy spells. Only problem was a horrible cold wind that put me ff going out to do some gardening this afternoon. :-P

Just checked last year's calendar, 1st day to the beach was 6th July. I'll find my diary now, you're probably thinking of when I had my first paddle and not had one of them yet this year. I did see some mad people jumping off the rocks at Portland Bill on Sunday and some kids in swimmers on the beach in Swanage yesterday. Brrrrrr!!!! :o

Andi, am sending you the mostest, biggestist, massivest go to sleep huggs you did ever feel gal, cos we do need our sleep to mend things in our bodies seeeeee :) :)

Talking of the seaside. I've just bought an aromatic herb plant for my garden. Oooooh it so reminds me of the winding path that goes down the cliff side to Goodrington Beach near Paignton in Devon. It must have been growing there in the gardens. That is the only place I have ever smelled that smell. It reminds me of sunshine, sea and childhood holidays, so glad I bought it. Will have to keep going outside to smell it though. People's are gonna wonder what I've got planted there if they see me keep going outside sniffing my plants and smiling :D

andi22 in reply to

What's the plant called then? I'm sure it would have had a label in it.

in reply toandi22

This is Asda we're talking about here :D It just says aromatic herb. It's got tiny pink flowers on it, looks a bit like heather

andi22 profile image
andi22 in reply to

It must have a name on it somewhere, surely? :o

Oh, I know, it must be thyme. :)

in reply toandi22

Well the ticket thing may have fallen out I suppose but it was only £2, I don't think you're meant to eat it. I wouldn't fancy eating it anyway, it's a bit dry and prickly

monky profile image
monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer in reply to

Have you watered it lately :P :D :D

It isnt Lavender is it ? cos that always looks dry :o

If its got very small leaves on it, it could be a thyme of some sort :o

in reply tomonky

Yes it has tiny leaves on stalks that stand up very straight with little pink/purply flower bits on the end of the stalks. Well am not eating it, yuk, just got it to fill up the rockery bit. I don't really like fresh herbs, I grew some Basil once. Chopped it up and put in a spaghetti sauce, eeewww it tasted like cat wee.

Andi, am not really into watching cycling as a sport cos I think its quite boring but you might know the answer to this because its sure puzzling me. Why is the Tour de France (which I thought interpreted to English is tour of France) going through England this year ??

jillygirl profile image
jillygirlAdministratorQueen Bee in reply to

I wondered that too Sin. Is it a european thing. :O

in reply tojillygirl

Strange. I was going to say is it coming through Yorkshire but then I remembered reading how much Yorkshire have spent on resurfacing the roads in readiness for it, they have used all their budget up for road repairs, so any potholes that are left - well they've got no money to fix them :o

jillygirl profile image
jillygirlAdministratorQueen Bee in reply to

Yes they have done the roads near us.

monky profile image
monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer in reply to

Sinfree, good flippin question gal :)

Well, Andi ??

in reply tomonky

All I can think is cos the British team won it last year? So maybe it sets off from whatever country won it the previous year.

Firstly, Sin, what's the name of that plant you got then? :)

Tour de France.

It's simple really, every year they like to do the start in a neighbouring country and this year it's our turn. :) I'd love to be up in Yorkshire to see the stage go by. :)

Oh yes thanks, I'm good. I had to splat the greenfly tonite and then when I saw all your posts, my silly mobile won't let me in and so I thought it was easier to say goodnight and then I sent the wrong picture oh dear :O I enjoyed reading it all anyway, sweet dreams x

I am going to bed in a minute Pete if you're still there. Am just finishing off last nights Cherry pie. Andi was quite right it's Thyme. According to wikipedia it makes good groundcover - yup that's what we got it for, but can be shortlived although is easily propagated from cuttings. For gods sake. I don't want to propagate and faff, I just want to plant and forget. Do they have computerised plants at all :o
