Morning Jillygirl, hope your fine this morning, and no sore throat
looking at the computer pics has made me think i'd better clean mine today, it's not as bad as these ones though the house is much nicer, i want the livingroom done though, so that's next, hubby will love me everytime he has a holiday i have him decorating
not doing much today, going to asda later to get bedside lamps
Morning Sue, still got a sore throat , but at least its not developed into a cold yet. fingers crossed. I`m lucky as my hubby has done the decorating to sell the house.
At least the white paintwork stays white now. I only used to smoke on the kitchen with the cooker hood fan on, but its amazing how it still gets into other rooms.
Enjoy your trip to Asda. I`m off to dentist later as my crown came loose yesterday.
Seems I am going to have a medical week this week.
Have a lovely day, and dont you work too hard, hope you get the lamps. xx
Hi Jillygirl, just had my daughter on the phone telling me i'm gonna be a granny, so excited about that she's coming here this afternoon, about 1.30, so won't be on at that time, can't wait to see her
Thats a lovely picture Jillygirl, I love my online friends too. I think they are all so, so very supportive of each other and it makes me realise how much I love working alongside people like yourselves I hope all goes well for you at the dentist and that you are a braver soldier than I am Make sure you to tell your dentist that you have still stopped smoking too
Big fat huge congratulations to you and your daughter Sue, is this your first Grandchild? How exciting. Now you have even more motivation to stay away from those piggies
It's the 2nd day of Stoptober, and as Jillygirl has already said - wherever you are up to within your quit, remember to stay positive.
Whenever you have set your quit date, remember the same figures still apply;
* Stay quit for at least 28 days and you are five times more likely to stay stopped for good
* By recieving extra support from somebody like your local stop smoking service or from us here at Quit Support, then you are 4 times more likely to remain stopped at 4weeks
* By using a form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), then you will increase your chances of quitting
* Planning towards your quit date beforehand will greatly increase your chances
* Just think how it will be if you done as many of the above as possible!
Don't know what the weather is like where you guys all are but here.... Depressing!!
Since I've been off work I've been even busier! Between the dogs and the dogs and moving waterbeds about and possibly more dogs... Staying at home is a nightmare!! And it's doing nothing to help my elbows!! But I'm hoping to get done acupuncture done next week see if that helps. I've had it previously and it is amazing.
I am also in need of going to the gym.. As despite walking the dogs I've put on a stone and a half!! Whilest I'm appalled that I'm turning to a mr blooby and if I hear my partner aka mr very annoying motivator/ / irritator say once more "I have more than enough cushioning" now!!!! I might throw my hand made brownies at him!! .. I do have to say woooooo does my cooking taste goooooood!! And it's just not me that's putting in weight either ... Dogs are loving it!!!
We should get NRT and a gym pass or something!!
Anyway I think it's stopped raining might me able to roll to the shop!!! I need eggs!!
As long as you know that you are putting the weight on because of your tasty brownies and home baking etc and not because you have stopped smoking, then at least you know you can tackle it when you are good and ready. One thing at a time though
I've just thought about something that I can write up in a blog... Give me a mo
JohnUK, just read your last post, thought I'd reply here as I know that you want to close that thread off. Maybe you are going to start a new one today, join in on the daily chat or maybe both It will be lovely to hear how you are doing.
its my brownies,my cheesecake,my home made lasagna,chicken rice n peas, not to name all the other dishes that are tasting so very delicious since getting my taste buds back.
After clearly not tasting food for over 17 years,my taste buds are loving it.. waist line... no where near as much..
The other half is in austrailia for the next couple of weeks so I intend to finish off all the bad stuff and then try and make an effort into shifting this extra padding!!
I think I feel better saying I need to slim, rather than I need to stop smoking. I am going to do more exercise, but am waiting for the docs advice first due to this arthritus thing.
Thanks for your poem Jillygirl, i love it gonna print it off and keep it then when the grandchild is old enough gonna read it to them
that sounds yummy Lisa- Jane wish i was in your house
It's sooo hard sometimes not to eat the wrong stuff, but not as hard as quitting smoking, so i think if i can do that then i should be able to diet, but we shall see
Hi Jillygirl, just about there :), but i'm sure it will take a few days yet
they can't giver her a date till she has an ultrasound, her monthly's are so erratic that she can't remember when her last one was so i'll just have to wait see, i think she might be about 2 months though xx
You have all come a long way, all this practicing of stopping smoking before earning your Gold medal to a much, much healthier future. I'm sure that any weight gains can be dealt woth as soon as you all feel ready to
I love the ditty Jillygirl
I'm away home in a mo but shall pop on again in a bit
I'm trying to remember to do it cause Andi was getting dizzy going up and down the posts,

yes bet Pete is, i'll be getting granny this and granny that
need to start the diet tomorrow though not too strict though get the smoking thing fixed first then my weight, i'll just make sure i don't end up the size of a hippo
