Yay, 9 weeks today, twirls round in computer chair!
I've been up since 6am, ironing all done, just about to make a casserole. An early tea tonight, my daughter is helping out at an organised bonfire. I'm not going, it's too cold, plus I don't like bonfires.
My Christmas shopping is nearly all done, apart from a few bits to get for my daughter. A bit sad I know, ha! I have to keep busy, so it distracts me from thinking about the dreaded weed.
Exactly the same here Pete, has been raining but now the sun is shining
Sorry to hear about your CO reading but you know it will be a good reading because you have been off those ciggies for almost 2 weeks now. How are you feeling Pete, are the cravings under control?
I hope you are recovering well from yesterday as well Jillygirl and have had a restful night's sleep. I'm not sure why Pete thinks you will be keeping us under control, I have a feeling you would be joining in with us
Congratulations Chickles on 9 weeks today, that is brilliant, very well done, you are a star, have another twirl in the chair, I quite like doing that
You would never see me getting up at 6am on a Saturday, I don't even get up that early when I have to be up for work. It's not sad that you have almost done your Christmas shopping, Sue has done all hers, it's called being organised, so that when you see the hordes rushing round the shops you can just sit back and smile to yourself that yours is done. I'm not planning on doing any Christmas shopping today.
I'm off to a bonfire tonight, I do like them and I enjoy it when it is cold so you can wrap up nice and warm, I just don't like it if it rains, so fingers crossed it wont.
I hope you all have a great, , sunny, craving free, I wont say smoke free as most of the bonfires are tonight
afternoon peeps,alls good here sun shining but chilly, well done Chickles that's excellent, got a walk planed for a bit will take in the small lake,sainsberys and home via the local for a pint and then feet up for the rest of the day
Hi Pete, hope your ok . Yesterday wasnt too bad thanks, apparently I put up a fight near the end. I was too sedated to know. But you know me always a fighter. Feels a bit achey today. Next step is Thursday. Anyway got you a tee shirt to wear when your struggling with all your female company.
Sorry you were having rain up north cos we had lovely blue sky and sunshine but the clouds have just come over now.
Good to see you've all been busy little bees this morning.
Jilly, nice to see you today and pleased that you're still fighting! Cheers for the tshirt - do they only come in one colour or is there a choice? You know we always like to choose different colours on everything!
Did the coffee morning thing then went and got my hair cut. He decided to cut off that bit round the back and give me a number 4. God, the wind was cold when I left the shop! Now, where's my scarf?

Hi Andi,
Firstly a massive well done to you for 6 whole months smoke free, just got you a little something
I was considering this one first but decided on colour first! (And I don't care about my belly when exercising just blame it for getting in the way when doing some of the exercises. )
A big well done for 9 weeks quit, and with your Christmas shopping, just like Sue cus i think she's nearly finished her's, and i have got you a little something as well
Andi, that's a brilliant achievement, 6 months! way to go!
Hi Jilly, lovely to meet you, am saddened to hear that you're not fighting fit at the moment, but you seem positive and determined! Treatments are amazing nowadays. A friend of mine, her boss has recently gone in to remission from having lung cancer, and she is now back at work!
I like all the T- Shirts, but would opt for black as it might hide my podgy tum from all the sweeties (which I am eating for the sake of eating, cos I don't even like them, ha!)
I haven't had any sweeties today, just some sugar free mints, and I'm going to stuff myself with veggies at tea time!
I think that Pete is cruisng for a bruising with comments like that He might have a spear, but I have a sharp pointy stick :)------------------------------------------------------->prod, prod,prod
Hi Chickles and thanks. Lovely to see you joining in here and I see you catch on really quickly! Poor old Pete, I'm even starting to feel a bit sorry for him (a bit, I say ) - all those other blokes leaving him in our den all on his own!
Hi Chickles , lovely to meet you too. thanks for the encouragement. Like you say it`s amazing what they can do now. At least I am going to one of the best hospitals so it gives me a good chance of fighting the horrid cancer. St James at leeds is brilliant. I keep bobbing on here as it cheers me up. glad to see your joining in, take care. xx
Oh ! but I really do, I could think about doing some exercise after I 've eaten it. Hmmm I wonder how many calories it takes to think about doing exercise
Hi Jillygirl, thanks for the t. shirts, I would have the first no smoking t. shirt but the Kazz t. shirt is brilliant, I wouldn't have thought you would find one with Kaz on but you did That proves you are determined. I'm glad you are not feeling too bad after yesterday and I hope you take it easy today and as Pete says, get waited on hand and foot, you deserve it xxx
That Boss t.shirt you gave to Pete, ooohh no I thought that will only go to his head, but it made me laugh as I sharpened my spear
Sounds like you are going to have a nice day Ken, hope the sun keeps shining until you get home to put your feet up.
Andi, I know you have done your coffee morning and also had your hair cut so you probably haven't had time but does this mean you haven't done any exercise today makes me feel better thinking that you haven't. It must feel weird having no hair to keep your neck warm
Hi Sue, when I read that you had got a tv for your bedroom, it made me think of hibernating and staying snug and warm in bed for the Winter I wouldn't mind, I do have a tv in the bedroom but I never watch it as I always read in bed, but I might do that this evening or have a Sunday morning lie in and watch a bit of tv.
It's gone dull here now, so keep warm everyone and enjoy the rest of your day xxx
PS. In case anyone missed that.... I want some chocolate cake and I want it right now... please
monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer• in reply toKazzachoc
Ok ok then Kaz,
just wondered how long it would take for you to want a chocie cakie
Aup Sue, I think you're getting a bit confused in your old age dear!
Kazz, yes I am having a rest day today and am not going to do any exercise. Got to do a bit of clearing up here though cos I've invited a couple of friends round for dinner and Strictly. I'm gonna make a big pot of veggies - a bit like rattatouille (if that's how you spell it Pete? ) and they're going to bring some sausages to go with it. Pudding wil be ...........apple cake! (Think I've got some squirty cream in the fridge!)

Sounds like the perfect Sunday lie in to me Sue, lie and chocolate cake mmmmm
Thanks for that yummy chocolate cake Pete, I don't want to sound ungrateful but I didn't notice that my cake had the biggest piece missing I think you will need to get on your rowing machine, you've had loads of slices of cake today I am grateful because I thought you were going to say, that when I have reached 9 weeks or 6 months then I can have a cake, glad I didn't have to wait that long
Makes me feel better to know that you don't exercise every single day Andi, you need to give your poor body a rest doesn't sound like you have having a lazy day though, maybe you could join me and Sue in a Sunday lie in with chocolate cake I wont bother you for any apple cake because it's fruit but maybe we could have some of your cream poured over our chocolate cake
monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer• in reply toKazzachoc
Hey Kaz, that Sunday lie in sounds good to me as well, although erm dont think the choc cake would suit me, cus av had enough of that, erm i mean thinking about it
As for your cake having the biggest piece missing, all i can say is the cat had it
When you get to 9 weeks gal, i will have a surprise for you but you've got to get to 9 weeks first
Rite i've done my bonfire bit for the neighbours and am ready for bed zzzzzzzz again,
So i will say good night to you all, and all i ask is stay strong and positive, cus you can do this
Nite nite everybody, sweet dreams & luvs ya all xxxx
