Daily Chat: Tuesday 10th June 2014

[EmJay]

Good afternoon to all you lovely folks

I had an early start this morning and have only just made it back to my desk now.

I was invited by our local hospital with the judging of more than 600 posters designed by young people (of different ages) about the dangers of smoking. Wowser, you should see the outlook on smoking that some of the younger folks have. They all just say it how they see it really!

I've also had a meeting about FaceBook and Twitter - Both of which I am completely rubbish at but do try my best So hopefully by using some of the practical tips I gained I should be able to step up to the mark in the world of social media... watch this space

Anwhose, I hope all is good in the hood here and you are all enjoying a nice sunshiny Tuesday day

Please use our daily chat to let us know how you are doing with your quit attempt, at whatever stage you are at - Planning, preparing, quitting, staying stopped and even relapsing....

However, if you have any specific questions, then please do ask and we'll do out best to help You may even want to write up about your own stopping smoking journey, we'd love to hear all about it

Also, remember, that any questions that you have may help others who are wondering the same thing

Soooo..... chat away!

Hey Monky - I had that storm too - wow it was crazy bonkers!!! I somehow managed to avoid getting wet though - it started just after I got into the car and stopped, an hour later, just before I got out again! - such fun! xx

Hi Chrissie

Gosh gal, you were lucky, cos if you had been out in it, you would have been drenched gal and I mean flippin drenched

Chrissie, how did it go at work with the less or nill nicotine ?? xx

[ChrissieG in reply to monky]

Hmm, well I'm so down about work at the moment I'm not sure which is affecting me the most - having said that, I did not have a major craving this evening like last night so I don't think my down-ness is anything to do with not smoking!

xx

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

Awwww Chrissie, i thought you were getting used to your new roll at work, thats a shame gal, it really is

But am soooooo happy for you that you are still going ahead with the no nic your doing ever so well, you are one hell of an amazing Lady and you had better feel proud of yourself, cos I flippin doooooo xx

[ChrissieG in reply to monky]

Ah sweetie, as hard as the hard moments are, I'm not going back now - I love being a non smoker - even if I was a secret smoker so not many people actually know about my achievement - except the important people in my life which includes everyone on here! xxx
