And what a beauty it is - the sun's shining - but it is reading zero on the thermometer.
Took the bull by the horns and went out for my first run in the cold this morning. I learnt that what gets really cold is the back of you hands and your thighs so it looks like I'll have to do a bit of shopping - everything else stayed warm as toast.
Let's hope the site behaves itself over the weekend but I've an inkling they're still working on it.
Pete, hope you have a good sleep in cos you deserve it after the week you've had.
See you all later - and don't let those pesky cravings get to you.

Morning Sue, I see the message up above is still there about the site 'limping along'. Glad to see you got your pic on somehow and good news that everything's ok with your grandchild.
Its lovely and sunny here but theres a rite cold Easterly wind, a lazy wind, it dosnt go around you, it goes through you
Andi, well done to you gal for braving the cold, hmmmm think you'd best get some long-johns or put 3 pairs of stockings on
Sue havnt you fixed your computer yet, i know you'v kicked it, just wondered if you'v tried jumping up and down on it, cus that seems to work for your phone
Just got back from freshstart, and last week as a smoker my Carbon Monoxide reading was a staggering 42 but this week as a non smoker is '' 7 '' whooopydooopydooooo what a difference the young Lady said that i would perhaps not get any lower than that due to her-in-doors and her brother still smoking in the house she also told me that she had never smoked in her life and that her reading was 5, because of the traffic fumes etc.
Just a thought for you that have to pay for your NRT on prescription like me, i found out this morning that you can pay about £29.10 for 3 months worth of prescriptions, which i think is a good saving
That's a brill carbon monoxide reading, and in a week, it's just great that your a non smoker Pete, especially with your wife and brother-in-law both smoking :), just shows you how strong you are
Glad you got those pesky gremlins, thought i was never gonna get back on here
Have a great day, i hope those cravings stay away xx

Aup Sue, just love your new huggybear pic gal and thank you for your kind comments
How are you going on, and have you got that flippin computer working ?????
I'm just updating my CV at the moment, cus my manager at work and my bosses dad have both said they will give me references for jobs so that was nice of them
What are you up to then, not flippin house work again gal
Wot's all this about references - does that mean they're giving you the push? - after all you've done for them? Wouldn't it be lovely though not having that drive and silly hours all the time? I'm sure you can find something much nearer home. How about a 'man and van' and 'no job too small'? I know there's loads of them out there but if you're good, you'll always have the work. Think you'll have to do the networking in the pub so you'll have to be very, very, very, very careful once you get in there!
That sounds like a good one. I have a friend who's a painter & decorator who did that when his work slowed down so now he juggles between the two. You'll have to be careful though cos all my taxi driver friends have really put on weight due to eating out of boredom in between customers!

Hmmmmm erm rite then i will get one of these for the nice weather days
That's a brilliant idea - I've just been seeing loads of them on my travels - even rode in one a couple of times. Only one problem I see for you though - actually there might be two! Second one is your original problem!!! (in the trouser department!!! ) and the first one is that it's a bit hilly where you are so you'd be better off turning it into a roundabout for the kids!
monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer• in reply toandi22
Yes Andi, i think it's back to the drawing board on that one, cus i would need lots of gel
Haven't caught up with that one yet but mine's called a "Pete-seeker" so there'll be no hiding from me - I'll ALWAYS know where you're TRYING to hide!
As for my belly - I think it grew on holiday. I couldn't do ANY exercise whilst away. I didn't overeat but we seemed to eat at about 7.30 in the evening then go straight to bed at 9 then breakfast soon after getting up so I'm sure my muscles will have diminished and been replaced with a rounder middle. I know it's there cos when I bend over it gets in the way - feeling a bit like Michelin man!
monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer• in reply toandi22
Ha ha ha ha you just crack me up Andi, hmmmm when you bend over are you sure its your tummy that gets in the way
Bet you look great Andi am sure you'll get your muscles back, if you lost any
keep that spear to hand, i've got mine at the ready
monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer• in reply tosue52
So you'v got a spear as well then Sue, hmmmmm i think i'd better shove some hard backed books down the back of my trousers then, just in case i bend over
Hi everyone , just nipped on site to see what your all up to. Nothing changed much then. Sue had a look at photo bet your so happy. Andi see your back on training, I think I will join you , trying to keep as fit as possible. Pete congrats! with the reading thats brill. Stick with it love. Good luck with the job hunting.
I`m not feeling too bad at the moment. got a bronschopy next friday , then meet consultant the following thursday. Meanwhile trying to keep healthy and positive. My hubby says I`ve got rid of the piggies, now its time to get rid of the old boar. I dont think he meant himself .
Keep looking after each other and I might not be on site all the time but will still be in touch. love you all. xx

Hey Jillygirl, hugs & hugs to you gal, its great to hear from you again
Erm just wondering if your hubby meant me !! when he said get rid of the old boar ( ahh thats how you spell it ) cus a know am boaring but didnt think i was that old huh flippin blokes, just common as muck some of em you tell him from me, that he's lucky cus i've lost my spear somewhere, just trying to think who i threw it at last, hmmmm probably somebody bending over, as in easy target
Jillygirl i dont half miss you gal, loads & loads of huggs & kisses to you both, well am not kissing hubby, cus he might think i've gone the other way
Hopefully speak soon Jillygirl, am thinking of you always luvs ya xxxxxx
Hi Jilly, nice to see you and glad you're keeping upbeat at the moment. I guess that just like this quitting thing you have to take each day as it comes and hope the better days outweigh the worse. So are you going to start running or get on your bike then? Haven't been on mine yet.
Lots of hugs and positive vibes winging your way. Love Andi. xx
Hi Sue , lovely to hear from you. you keep warm . Dont want no colds or flu. Dont worry I wont be going out if its too cold. need to keep fit for the weeks ahead.
Forgot to tell everyone well done for staying quit. Your all stars.
Hiya, just got back in. It was lovely out there this afternoon. Haven't got any stamina though as after half an hour I was feeling cream crackered - just like the other day when I went for a walk round the Head. We went into Burley afterwards which is famous for it's witches. It was lovely as they were having a Hallowe'en day and lots of people entered into the spirit of it and was delightful to see people dressed up and playing games etc. Must get my tea now before Strictly starts. See you later.
