Happy Friday Everyone

Well, it's finally arrived and only seems a week since the last one we had

Katelisci, what a beautiful photo of you and your daughter - You have a gorgeous smile on you and if I passed you in the street I would never have known that you smoked. I reckon that you stopped smoking at just the right time

MrEdd, I hope you are doing okay - I seemed to have had trouble with your badge a couple of weeks ago and it looks like it still hasn't stuck very well - Shall sort that for you in a mo

Shantimar and irena, I'm loving this new upstairs and downstairs (and in my my ladies chamber!) exercise regime you are both doing to get that spot of exercise in Do you both know that there is a weight loss community on here? healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... There is also the Couch to 5K community too that you may want to have a nosie at - a running programme that aims to get folks up from being a couch potatoe to running 5k - it's great for behinners healthunlocked.com/couchto5k

Katycan, how are you doing now? I hope all is good in your hood

yorkipam, your 4 week badge is waiting for you

Today is an absolutely fantastic day to start a smokefree weekend Staying positive and planning how to overcome any triggers is a sure way of making it a lot easier

Hi emjay I've looked in the weight loss community thats where i got my low carb eating from, you think I knew that already

Droopy hope you had a nice time in Glasgow

Glolin good evening I think trying to remember when my son was in Australia, sure when we skyped I had to stay up late, never the other way round though

Irena that son of mine is showered, dressed and now we are off school clothes shopping.

The joys of parenthood

Pinkie, you done good girl and everyone else enjoys another smoke free day.

Catch you over the weekend xx

Look so good I've done it twice x

[droopyJ in reply to shantimar]

Hi Shantimar... am loving the new badge but I preferred the other one you had best you get a move on girl to get there

You are a mean mummy..... clothes shopping already for school clothes???? I always hated that every school holidays as it always meant that we were going back to school the following week.... but your doing it 5 weeks early.... lets hope he doesn't have a growth spurt between now and school starts

[droopyJ in reply to droopyJ]

And thanks, I had a great time in Glasgow.... in fact it was only when I got back last nite and was catching up on the posts, that I realised it was my first smoke free holiday...

[shantimar in reply to droopyJ]

I'm in Scotland he has 18 days left of freedom they came off at the end of June.

We have managed to get most of his things thank goodness, I couldn't do with all that crying and feet stamping, he wasn't too good either

Well we are away for a few days down to my daughter's house. I can assure you I will leave a few pounds lighter and I don't mean in weight

Will look in over the weekend to make sure everyone is behaving

Better go hear the dulcet tones of hubby and son telling me to hurry up

xx

[droopyJ in reply to shantimar]

Shantimar.... you are soooo funny

have a great time with your Daughter...... this is no consolation whatsoever but my mum reckons we never really leave home, regardless of how old we are and they are still skint when we visit but she still loves me

Have a sensational weekend everyone - stay strong -

[glolin LONG TERM WINNER]

Hiya Droopy,

I am doing good thanks

throat is easing a little. I am looking forward to a few days away with hubby. we worked it out and the last 8 weeks he has only had 5 nights at home.. Neither wonder of feeling a little down with it all.

[droopyJ in reply to glolin]

Well I'm glad your throat is settling down a little, hopefully it wont distract you from having a lovely, well earned holiday

You and that lovely supportive hubby of yours deserve a few days away, wrap up warm, enjoy some good food, long walks and just have a catch up

Enjoy your smoke free break -x-
