Good Morning Yaye for the weekend!

I think Pete starts his shifts on Monday Sue, so we'll have him to entertain us over the weekend

Sue, I was thinking about your quit date, for Monday.... It might be best if you see how your appointment goes on Monday first and then depending on when you can collect your NRT, set your quit date to fit in nicely with that.With regards to which NRT you want to use, I know you are going to ask for the inhalator, how about you also ask about the patches too? Providing that you use the correct dose, and in the orrect way, the patch has really good results and when used alongside another oral product (such as the inhalator, gum, lozenges etc) then your chances of success increases. Just ask your stop smoking advisor about combination therapy. They'll know about it as it's recommended up and down the country. I'm really excited for you :0)

Pete, you stay strong today and make sure you let us know if you hit a brick wall. Especially after saying that you now struggle when at home. You already do the right thing by taking yourself away into the garage, garden and bygiving all your attention to your plants and Monkey cat As soon as you feel a bit then make a note of the time, a note of what you were doing and what you think brought this feeling on, try a breathing exercise and then the next time it happens do the same again. By the end of the day, you might be able to recognise a pattern to when these cravings set in and how you have learnt to overcome them. Keep us posted on how you get on. You're a winner and you can do this

Today is Saturday, I hope everyone see has positive plans for a smoke free day. I'm sure it's a big day today for Lisa-Jane, shall have to check our Wall of Winners out.

Together we can do this

HI Emjay

It's just me going nuts, i'd forgotten what day it was today, think my brain went on holiday with Jillygirl and Andi

you might have a good idea there about waiting till after my appointment on Monday, i already have the inhalators though, i got them from my doctor a couple of days ago, it's always difficult thinking when to stop, am i doing the right thing? or am i just putting it off?

I do feel more positive this time though

have a great day, will chat later

Same here Pete, we,re a right pair

how you getting on with the inhalators, i just got some from my doctor, thought i'd try them this time since cold turkey didn't really work

monkyAdministrator in reply to sue52

I'm using patches at the moment but use the inhalator at bad times, which seem to be more and more just lately but yes it helps me get through

Sue there's Caggle on the questions, you might just be able to help her

That's brilliant sure2

that's a lot of money you saved, you should have a holiday with it, you deserve it

monkyAdministrator in reply to sue52

Aup Sue, i hope you enjoyed your walk gal

Ha ha i was just finishing off the guttering at the front of the house, i was at the top of the ladder and i felt something clinging to my leg looked down - it was my cat she had climbed right up the ladder to the top to see what i was up too !! I thought i would have to turn around on the ladder, crouch down and grab her, but i didnt have to, cus she very cautiously climbed back down without the help of my right foot cus a lot of cats can climb up !! but cant climb down again

I tell you Sue, it just astounds me to what lengths you Ladies will go too to find out what us blokes are up too

Think i'd best scarper

monkyAdministrator in reply to sue52

Aup Sue, i'm glad you got out and had a nice walk by the sea, that must be so embracing wish i lived near to the sea, we havnt had a holiday this year cus of buying this van and paying for my plumbers course, but hopefully next year

But i tell you this is the first year we havnt been away anywhere, and ''dont'' i know it

But you have to make sacrifices dont you

It is p____g erm raining dead heavy here now, and the wind has started to get up, so have buttoned down the hatches, so now i'm prepared we will see if my expertise on guttering sealing works

Hi Pete

we've not had a holiday this year either, had to decorate the house instead, hate not having a break but that's life

had a nice walk, i'm lucky not to live to far from water, close to the river Tay

Your weather sounds really bad, i'm sure your guttering will be great, it will easily stand up to that wind, it's heading my way tomorrow, no way i'll be going out

hope it's not to bad when you go to work tomorrow

monkyAdministrator in reply to sue52

Yep your right Sue cus what we get tonight, you will get tomorrow, cus its coming up to you

Will try to post you tomorrow morning and let you know how bad it was
