SMILEYS :-
If you point your cursor over any of the smileys I have put on you will see what keys I have used to make the image. make sure you leave a couple of spaces after and before words otherwise they don't always work. . Good Luck! you can always delete if it doesn't work.
After that Pete is probably the expert.
Good Morning, Good Afternoon and Good Evening One and All
Have a lovely day out JillyGirl, I hope you are up to something nice and exciting

I am away to pop the kettle on, I'll be right back with a drink of your choice
Hello all,
I do hope that you are enjoying a craving free and stress free day
I am pretty pleased with myself. Over the past 4 weeks i have lost 3kgs I am just so greatful not to be putting on any more weight with quitting. This pedometer has become my new best friend as i wont accept under 10,000 steps daily.
Oh well done glolin on your weight loss. I have been trying to lose weight , been dieting for last 2wks, have to do it as my clothes all seem to have Shrunk! lol x also trying to exercise more. Haven't weighed yet , thought I'd weigh when I see my Dr on the 25th . Hope I will have lost something by then XX You have done so well , 3kgs is brilliant !
Lovely smiley opener jilly, thank you
I've copied out the smilies now, many thanks Emjay and Jilly, and monky .
Glolin, You really are a star! Doing amazing! I wish I could get my act together as well as you, but hey, I don't smoke cigarettes anymore, thats a big hurray!!
hoping when home stuff has settled a bit will be able to control everything else. I love the 10000 steps a day goal. That's such a good tip, easy to remember. Might not manage it every day, but can at least go for 'most days'
Good luck with the sober October lilymay, I'm so bad at drinking now it only takes one blitz of what I would once have considered a very modest amount to put me off for another few weeks/months !
Chris its so good to hear about the improvement. I think we've all got our scares, and For mine I know stopping smoking is the very best thing to do. We're doing good
Cornishlady, my wardrobe's the same ! Sounds like you've got a good plan underway there. Show that doctor on the 25th ! My Hubby's chocolate cupboard needs a padlock on it Or I've got to get some of your and glolin's self control under my belt
Have a lovely smoke free evening all, or day, for you glolin
No apology needed!
I'm just boggled at how things have changed for me in the last 3 months.
Yes - I still get tempted occasionally.
No - I'm not going to give in to those temptations.
Three months ago, I'd just had a diagnosis of a heart condition (Atrial Fibrillation) and I was scared and worried.
Now, my heart condition is under control (though not "cured") and I know I can cope without my roll-ups.
I probably rely on my e-cig more than I ought to - though I'm running on zero/6mg juice.
And I feel okay!
my goodness Glolin, only 2 months in and you are losing weight?? I must say I'm slightly envious however that is fabulous and well done you! I think I may have to up the ante just a little and do some more exercise Despite my little 26 mile jaunt I'm terribly lazy however will be partaking in 'Sober October' next month so that and maybe actually getting off the sofa to start the C25K will help!
And three months for Chris, the time just flies and it's great to hear that things are on the up for you and your health has improved. It really is just the spur we all need to keep us from temptation
Have a fabulous day everyone x
Well done Glolin, that's great losing 3kg, not sure I've lost any weight but I am wearing my pedometer every day
Lilymay good luck with Sober October...anyway looking at you in that lovely wedding dress of yours, you don't look as though you need to lose weight
Cornishlady & Betts, do you think we all have the same type of washing machine???? all my clothes have shrunk too
Beardy Chris, I am sooo glad that you can feel the benefits on your ticker b y having given up the roll-ups
Think you're right droopy. Its the washing machine!

Evening Briar, ooh you have had a busy time of it today
Carry on with your clean-up, I'll leave the keys under the mat for you but if you could clean my house that would be great.... don't make too much noise though eh?????
strongoverskinny.ie/wp-cont...
You are such a busy B, this one's for you
If you get droopy's sorted and still got time, mind's under the flowerpot
Have a lovely evening Briar, hope you get chance to get your feet up later, all 6 xx
Whoops! Well, mind is probably under the flowerpot, been looking for it all day . My key should be there too :DD x
So sorry droopy and Betts, couldn't find Bett's mind under the mat or droopys under the flowerpot, so having lost my own mind decided to go and clean glolins place instead.......huh she was in bed so that was the end of that
Good news is my place is spick and span
Thanks for the pic Betts, loved it
Hope I didn't make too much noise Droopy looking for the key and sorry about the broken flower pot
What's all this about sober October
I better use the lemons Emjay sent me before then huh x
Best you had..... I am trying to get all of my family to do it and I think mister monky is gonna have a bash at it as well
That was my favourite pot by the way....
That's hard!
Was really hoping you'd find my mind for me, gonna need it for tomorrow...... Think I'll manage this day out without it, no-one's noticed any difference so far
You might notice I'm trying out new smilies
I'm into sober-rest-of-September after a grand reunion party last Saturday night. Danced all night, and think it was Gangam style that did it for my knees
Probably where I lost my mind too
So taking it easy now, and hope you are too after all that busy B-ing
Bask in you slick and span surroundings, badge of honour Pity us poor slobs
Maybe tomorrow?

Hey Everyone
I see you are all chatting bubbles again I had a busy afternoon and didn't make it back to my desk to pop on here properly earlier - I have been on Aunty duties this evening - it was 9.30pm before I managed to sit down.
On a positive, I did receive an e-mail from HealthUnlocked to say that they had found a certain type of bug and that was either causing the problem with our badges or with the ipad... I'll find out properly tomorrow which one it was.
I hope you are all having a nice evening, if Linda is looking in then I hope you have had a nice sleep and are all set up for a nice easy day at work
Hey Emjay
When you saying talking bubbles .... do you really mean rubbish????
Hope you had fun with your Aunty duties
When you speak to those HU people could you please ask them when they are changing this news feed..... we are all really really unhappy with it.... we are all missing posts and responses
Hope your day is not soooo busy tomorrow, and it calms down in time for the weekend
Right, I'm off to count how many days are left in this month to enjoy before have to give everything up for October, so I wish you all a good night and thanks for the laughs, you all really keep me going, nitey nite, sweet dreams x
Nitey nite Briar and I thank youuuuuu for keeping me going too Briarwood xx
Sweet dreams and cuddly tittley tutsies huggs to keep you laughing Enjoy your slumber
Now see what ya did droopy, mr adminininin rang his cousin ho ho ho x
Had a great sleep Up and been for a walk and about to hit the shower. This weight loss for me is a bonus. My main thing is to do some regular exercise as over the past couple of years I really had become a couch potatoe and had put on a bit of beef which was a huge contributing factor to my high blood pressure.
Since quitting smoking, i had noticed a little more weight creeping on ( or those bugs were stitching up my clothes )
I have found that the confidence that i gained from managing to get through the first few weeks of quitting and staying smoke free I have maximised this new found confidence to change my lifestyle
This has been huge for me, as confidence is something that i dont generally have.
I am so grateful for all the encouragement and support that i have got from all you wonderful people XX
WOW Glolin, you are a walking, talking, motivated, oozing confidence, all round nice, inspirational little adopted Aussie
I really need to step up on my pedometer otherwise I will have to buy a complete new wardrobe (my current one won't take the weight.... )
Give yourself a huge pat on the back lovely lady coz you give us encouragement and support by the bucket loads, and I for one am truly grateful to you
Thank you so much Droopy for your kind words (wipes away the tears)
You are one helluvan amazing lady glolin! Have a lovely day down under.
Off to bed now. I'm so slow on here so night night all, wishing sweet dreams to all, Briar droopy monky emjay and anyone looking in. Lots of lovely zzzzzzzeeeeeeezzzzzz
There ought to be a sleepy smiley........
Xx
Nite nite everybody, just wrote two comments out but they have goooooone sooooo sweet dreams to you all and have a wonderful sleep whether its night time or day time, so Lin, you can still have a kip in the day
Loads a warm cuddly stay smokefree huggs heading your ways if ya want em xxxxxx
