Good Morning, Good Afternoon and Good Evening!

Wowser, its been an absolute forever since I opened up shop, in fact it's been an absolute forever since I had a good natter!

Happy New Year to you all I have had a cracking number of challenges this past couple of weeks, no wifi, no phone, no laptop - which isn't any good without wifi anyway! Then, to top it all after having an upset tummy I seem to have lost my front peggy down the loo, never to be seen again!! Things can only get better!

I have so much to catch up on here with everyone, so before I do can I just say:

A huge welcome to all newbies, congratulations on making the best decision for the better of your health

A huge well done and congratulations to everyone who has reached their next Winner's Award

A huge , huge thank you to you all for keeping things running as smoothly as ever- especially Pete and JillyGirl who thought I'd disappeared off the face of the earth no doubt

Right, best I get a wiggle on and start reading through what you have all been up to

Hiya Emjay and anyone else looking in.

Emjay - Glad you have your internet etc up and running again.

it really is a great team effort with this site with everyone supporting each other combined with you admin guys. .A win - win for everyone

I am really loving all the new members too, I am not sure if they realise just how important they all are as for me, it is a constant reminder that I don't want ever want to go back to those first weeks, yet i also love to encourage and support them on their journey. It really does make my heart melt watching the first week badge appear, then the first month etc.

Collectively - we are awesome

Hi everybody just to let you know, I'm going off line now, cos we have been experiencing a lot of power cuts just lately where I live and Western Power ( cos I complained about losing loads a data from my PC ) have kindly just delivered a battery backup system for my PC which must have cost a bit

So am now going to install it and it will have to charge up for at least 8 hours before I can use my PC, but also have got to go to work tonight soooo, I will be back tomorrow morning '' Early '' so, if any of you flippin lot have been misbehaving I will reprimand you ( I will think of something ) tomorrow seeeee

Take care everybody and stay strong and focused cos am dead proud of you all xx

Good Evening All, my 'being online' didn't last long did it?!! All seems to be back again now though, so fingers crossed it stays this way

Lovely to be back with my Quit Support buddies, I've missed you all big time xx

Pete, I hope work flies by for you tonight and your back up system thing-ma-jig makes everything worthwhile Sounds like Western Power are a bit more helpful than Virgin Media!

Linda, I hope you are enjoying a good nights kip. I just heard about the extreme weather conditions you are having and just want to send you 'keep safe' wishes. Chat to you in the morning

Hey mrssunnyside, it's great to see such a lovely badge next to your lovely name Happy New Year to you too

Hey Briar,although I am sure yesterdays online gremlins where nothing to do with me - there always seem to be gremlins about wherever I go, I am a complete jinx when it comes to anything electrical or gadgety - I am a nightmare around mobile phones and I seem to be getting worse!

I hope your first couple of days of the New Year have started off well and that any New Year resolutions made are proving to not be too eventful - having tried the 52 week challenge last year and not doing too well, I've decided to put £1 a day away this year

I survived yesterdays heatwave of 42 degrees, we are expecting the same again today. have a couple of hours driving to do in the heat of the day and am thankful for aircon Off down to Melbourne to watch one of the Big Bash 20/20 cricket games. It is an evening game so hopefully it will be a pleasant evening.
