Thing is, it doesn't feel right cos I am puffing, quite a lot, on my ecig. Hmmmm. And when I have a struggle lowering the nic, I go up again to get through. Hmmmmmm. So not sure I am such a good proper quitter as some other brilliant folk on here. Yep, hmmmmmm.

Do a lot of hmmmming too :)

Hi Briarwood,

Doing good here ty :) I have been enjoying the games, Not seen much of my country as I live in Australia but New Zealand is my home country, I tend to catch up with the results from home after the event,

Hope is all is good with you :)

Briarwood profile image
BriarwoodAdministratorLONG TERM WINNER in reply to glolin

Yeah I'm enjoying the games as well thanks, great diving today really enjoyed gymnastics too, is your hubby back yet? :) x

glolin profile image
glolinLONG TERM WINNER in reply to Briarwood

yes, he got back yesterday, we worked it out that in the last 8 weeks he has only had 5 days at home...neither wonder i feel like a bus drivers widow. He is not normally away as much, but they have been working on train tracks and using bus replacements. when this take place in regional areas, it means he has to be away from home.

At least him being away has given me a good shot at this quitting with me taking it out on him, I was a little concerned about that as he is such a genuine nice guy and I wasn't sure what to expect after 40 years of smoking, especially with doing it cold turkey. All and all I don't think i have got grumpy (haven't kicked the two dogs or let the birds out).

Well done Bethjayne - a massive milestone - plain sailing from here.

I can't wait till September 14th for my one year - I think I'm going to treat myself and the family to a slap up meal and I'll get a few beers too.
