Lovely picture Jillygirl, shame it doesn't say Yippee It's flippin Friday It was a good laugh last night and I think the reason you are so tired today Andi is from sleeping in that over with Sue and Pete
Good that you are feeling ok today Dawn, it's weird how one day you can be feeling great and have no cravings then the next there are cravings and you feel down. As long as we all help each other through those craving, feeling low days we will be fine
Off to get my 2nd coffee of the day, need to wake up a bit
Morning everyone, i'm late up today, couldn't get comfy in the oven with Pete and And there as well
it's great to see you opening the daily chat Jillygirl, and sounding positive, love your picture
I'm not surprised your tired Andi, i couldn't keep up with all the posts last night hope your ankle is not to painful today
well done getting to day 4 Dawn, i'm glad your feeling better, keep strong, you'll do this
hope things are fine with you Kazz, think i need a few coffees myself today and a rest, my legs are sore with all that running to get away from your spears
I'm off to the shops, have a great day everyone xx
How lovely to see that you have opened up the daily chat Jillygirl. I hope today is a good day for you
Dawn, nearing the end of your first week now Have you any plans for this weekend that you may need to think about coping strategies to enjoy a smokefree weekend? Let us know if we can help you with any ideas
Andi, remember to try and keep your ankle raised higher than you knee to help reduce any swelling, and make an appointment to get it checked. Hope it's not as bad for you today as it has been
Pete, what are your 'flippin' Friday plans? I think we need to make sure that everybody has plans in place for a 'winning weekend' rather than a 'wobble one' ensuring that you all reach that Super Dooper Saturday and Smiley Sunday
Sue, hope you treat yourself to something nice whilst out shopping as you are heading into your 7th weekend of being smokefree now, doesn't time fly?!
I have just been thinking about 'Dressing Gown Fridays, fridges, cookers and spears and think that reading through yesterday's daily chat is enough to cheer even Victor Meldrew up!
The support that you offer to each other on here is amazing. You have most definitely found ways of distracting each other from temptation of those awful white sticks that try so hard to shout all your names. Keep up the good efforts everyone
Remember, the longer you go without smoking, the easier it becomes

Hi Emjay, and good morning. when you talk about distraction, thats exactly what my lung cancer specialist nurse said to me yesterday . Distraction and laughter is one of the best medicines. Told me to go and enjoy myself with hubby . ( dont quite know what he meant by that. )
Take care. xxxx

Good morning Emjay i hope your well
Hmmm what am i flippin doing today ?? Christmas shopping for one thing a bit more to do in the garden while its fine and a few odd jobs around the house, erm i think that will do me for flippin today
I have google chrome which seems better for pics etc. just type in what you want and then go into images. You can go into photos or clip art. have a go.
So rry Kaz forgot to say when you find the pic click on it. Then right click and then copy image url . then past into comment box. thats another right click.
John you are doing really well. the mouth spray is ok 1000 times better than a ciggy. I do believe you have cracked this quitting thing. Well done again you non-smoker.
Thanks Jillygirl, I use Google Chrome at work but not at home and images on Explorer don't seem to say copy image url, they say copy shortcut so I think you get the whole page not just the image.
I wonder what Sue is buying at the shops, hope she's getting some choccies for us
Well done John, you are doing really well. I don't think about having a cigarette in the morning these days and not even having a niQuitin mini until around 10:30 or so in the morning. I would certainly have one if I needed one though on those craving days. Keep up the good work.

I have been exactly the same this time John, I have told hardly anyone that I have given up. Some people say tell everyone so that you have more support and I have done that in the past. I get all the support and encouragement I need from here as everyone knows exactly how I'm feeling, and what I'm going through and achieving. You have to do it in whatever the best way is for you to succeed John.
I am loving today, it's flippin Friday and so many choccies mmmmmmmmmm sorry Pete I know that Monkey was for you but I have just bitten it and it's yummy Thanks for thinking of us Sue when you were out shopping, both yours and Pete's chocs look like the expensive kind, so a real treat mmmmmm You did the link Sue, did Pete give you further instruction or did you follow Jillygirl's instructions to me this morning?
Hi Kazz, i followed Jillygirl's instructions and managed to do it :), thanks Jillygirl :),
i've put the shopping away and had a cuppa, time to put my feet up now, i didn't treat myself, i've got a grandbaba, to save up for , so all my spare money is staying in the bank xx
John you should feel proud of yourself, I am sure your wife is with you in spirit and will still be proud of you trying. roll on end of november you can do it.
I am beginning to think my prob in my lung is a baby I keep fancying silly things. Last night was marshmallows. Today red licorice shoe laces, cant wait for tomorrow. Nah not expecting thing I`m going back to my childhood.
marshmallows and red licorice is yummy, i love all the sweets i ate when i was a kid penny dainties, lucky bags, black jacks, i think i'm with you there Jillygirl, loved the sweets, and the prices
It's ok Andi, you can be our fitness instructor. As you can't exercise too much with your poorly ankle, you can boss us around from the settee Sorry I meant instruct us not boss us I
Well I haven't had much chance to put my foot up yet today. I had a mammogram a couple of weeks ago and got recalled today for a follow up. Went this morning and everything's fine, fortunately, just a small cluster of cysts. Had to hang around there for hours though. Just enough time for a bit of lunch then off to the doc's for a professional view of the ankle. Let you know later what she says.
me as well, cake is my downfall, i can't eat many though cause i'm gluten intolerant, so have to get gluten free ingredients, it's such a pain, but that's life thank you for the tip

Hey Sue what you done with Pete I think he must be hiding under the bed.
Hey Jillygirl, thats funny about you thinking of marshmallows, cus the other week i had a dream that i ate 2 massive marshmallows, woke up in the morning and my pillows had disappeared
I'm gonna try these out John hopefully i'll lose a bit of weight
Awwwe it must be great having lovebirds fly about, there such beautiful birds :), i could never get any pets cause they triggered my daughters asthma, now she's away i might just get one i'll see
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to sue52
Aup Sue, you cant just get one love bird, you have to get two, preferably him and her, if you see what i mean
Dont you flippin go getting an ostrich cus if that fly's over your head and does a wooopsey, ha ha you would know about it
You've had a bit of a day of it then Andi. I'm glad it was good news at the hospital and good luck at the docs. Let us know how you go on.
I know what penny dainties are now, you're getting good at these pics now Sue We just used to call it Highland Toffee I prefer penny dainties though, sounds much nicer. More like 50 p dainties now though. xx

monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to sue52
Aw Sue, am flippin so sorry that your feeling a flippin bit off it tonight gal, you flippin just get yourself flippin tucked under that flippin duvet of your's, cus i reckon thats comfier than the flippin oven gal
Nite nite Sue, and god bless you young Lady, have a good flippin kip tonight and flippin luv ya xxxx
Am finally back (about 1/2 hour ago!). Grabbed a cuppa, din in the oven (ONLY the dinner! ) couple of phone calls. Amazingly I didn't have to wait too long at the doc's but she didn't like the look of the bruising so sent me off to A&E for an xray just to be sure. I could have had one while I was at the other hospital this morning! tu! Came away after 2 1/2 hours there and the doc reckoned it wasn't broken, PROBABLY ligament damage. No running, walking, cycling, rowing or any weight-bearing exercise for at last a week. And cancel my pt session on Monday! I could do a bit of yoga if I want. If still a problem after 2 weeks get my gp to do a physio referral. He reckons you get to see a physio within about 4 days. Watch this space. So, once I've got my flippin din-din it's off to the couch. See you in a bit.
What a shame andi, at least it wasnt broken. what a funny lot we all are hospitals doctors beds etc. Flippin Friday at least its the 9th not 13th. have a good rest love.
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to andi22
Aup flippin Andi, its took you all day to flippin find out what i flippin told you last flippin night
Mind you, you are a Woman ;|
No Andi, you do exactly as they say gal, cus i know a torn ligament can take 1 week to heal or it can take 8 weeks, it all flippin depends on you gal, and how you flippin rest it
Hi Andi, so glad that your flippin ankle wasn't fractured or broken, but take care of yourself. You could do what Pete suggested yesterday and raise your legs in the air until you get a flippin 6 pack Night night Sue, sorry to hear you are not feeling to good. I hope you sleep well and feel better tomorrow xxx
Pete, were those sweets called Pontefract cakes? That's what they look like anyway. I do remember them but I didn't like them.
The pics of cats were flippin gorgeous I love the little kitty asleep under her pink blanket, she lools so comfy : )
Hi John, your lovebirds are gorgeous. My mum has a cockatiel and he is a real character, he keeps us amused with his antics.
Have a good flippin evening everyone xxxx
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to Kazzachoc
Aup flippin Kaz, how you doing gal, and yes they were called Pontefract cakes, they were licorice yum yum
flippin foam has disappeared, so got dry . red jim jams and a flippin flimsy dressing gown on. flippin tired now so going to sign off get ready for the super dooper saturday! take care . nite nite love you all. xxxxxxxxx
Thanks for the coffee and biscuits Pete mmmmm that went down a treat or was it my bedtime hot chocolate? Do you remember Pacers, they were like opal fruits but mint flavour, they were my favourites and I miss them along with Old English spangles.
Night,night Jillygirl sleep well my lovely and I hope your red nailpolish didn't wear off when you were soaking in the bath That wrinkly puppy was so cute, I just want to give him a cuddle
You want to get a dressing gown like mine, it's nice and cosy.
Well one of those kitties was fast asleep Andi and the other looked to shattered and bedraggled to do anything, I think he needed a good meal and a bath
whoops super dooper saturday I think that's on saturday then it's Smiley Sunday
You didn't specify that the coffee and biscuit was for bedtime Pete, I'm not psychic. Anyway there were 3 drinks and I only had 1 so I've still got another 2 for bedtime unless they weren't all for me and i'm just being greedy again
You did that earlier, Jillygirl sent you a flippin Friday coffee for bedtime and you drank that this morning so it's you setting a bad example
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to Kazzachoc
Its not my fault, cant help it if i'm a bit dim. can I
So super dooper Saturdays on Saturday then hmmmmmmm
No it's not your fault It's not my fault I'm an idiot either I think it's genetic, nothing to do with me Derren Brown in on tv now talking about giving up smoking channel 4 if you want to watch.
Yep it's super dooper saturday tomorrow, I will remind you tomorrow in case you forget
