Good morning everybody.

Well, Jilly's christened this Moaning Monday but I can't think of anything to moan about at the moment.

Don't forget that if you want to have a moan about your quit (or not quit) please feel free to come and moan about it on here as we're all here to help you get through it. :)

Oh, just a quick moan - after the wonderful weather yesterday it's miserable and raining today. :( But we won't let it get us down, will we? :)

Have a good day everyone. :)

Good morning Andi and everyone else,

you just beat me this morning :D :D i'm just up, a quick moan, i didn't get much sleep last night, but i won't let it get to me :)

The weather here is the same as yesterday, really cold, so i'm not going out today, i hope you rest your ankle today, it's not nice going out in the rain anyway

my daughter didn't leave till late last night so i didn't get back on here, hopefully i'll get a quiet night tonight, i need the rest :D :)

Hi Dawn - isn't it day 8 today? I thought last Monday was your 1st day. :)

So if you keep babysitting for the next 3 or 4 weeks then come the Christmas party season, you should be strong enough to not succumb then. Also, if you do the driving then you can't do the drinking so less temptation and I'm sure you won't be a party-pooper just cos you're sober! :D :D

It must have been great having your grandchildren over, i still have that to look forward to :)

Don't work too hard :) xx

No Andi last Tuesday was day 1, so today is day 7 I think???

Yes day 7 today - 1 whole week tomorrow! I don't drive

so that option is out but anyway have'nt got many social events

just family stuff so that's OK as nobody smokes around the kids

anyway. Yes Sue it is lovely to have the Grandchildren, but also

nice when you can hand them back...lol!

Morning everyone, I'm back, been at work for a few days was reading the blogs but didn't write anything.

Got a couple of days off. Just tried to gargle mouthwash and accidentally swallowed it!

I hope I will be OK!

Anyway how are we all? Well done to everyone who has done another week of no smoking x

Morning, my moan was finding a dirty ear bud shoved between plates to go in the dish washer, gross.

Still got my dressing gown on and not moving out the house all day.

Rain as much as you like, I'm looking forward to a lazy day

I've cracked the no smoking so am happy that I'll be smelling as fresh as a daisy for the festive period but still weigh the same as I did last January, so going to buy some bridget jones and will crack on with health kick in January

Hope you all have a stress free day X

Well done JohnUK, we all know how easy it is to slip up

but just carry on the way you are and I'm sure you'll be fine,

just keep thinking how proud your wife would be!

I don't want to moan today either...lol!

Hi everyone

Well done to all who have stayed smoke free over the weekend. My only moan for Moaning Monday is that the weekends just go way too fast for my liking, I say that every Monday :)

Thanks Andi for stopping Pete from trying to poison me yesterday with all those tablets :) Good job someone is keeping an eye on him. Thanks for thinking of me though Pete and helping to get rid of my hangover, it's not your fault that the cat knocked your arm :)

I wouldn't think that drinking some mouth wash would do any harm Aaron but drink some milk just to be on the safe side.

I had 3 dreams over the weekend where I was dreaming about smoking. It made me laugh because I don't think I've ever dreamt about smoking before. I didnt bother me when I woke up, it wasn't as if I was being attached by those pesky cravings. Looks like they are trying to get me in my sleep now because they can't get me when I'm awake :D

Have a great day everyone. xxx

Hi there all!

A big well done to everyone remaining smoke-free! Well my thryroid results are back, they're fine, within acceptable limits! I was convinced it was that making my heart gain a beat! Have made an appointment for next week, medication check is due. It may well remain a mystery....bit like an Agatha Christie crime thriller....'The Mysterious Case of the Additional Heartbeat'.

Hope that everyone is fit and well! Aaron, what does it say on the container about accidentally swallowing the mouthwash? You should be alright, just drink plenty of water.

What's my moan today....erm popped to Argos to collect a steam cleaner/mop. It was heaving! Then I realised why, 3 toys for the price of 2...there must have been 50 plus people in there! I did the self serve, the queues were horrendous! A very nice young man carried my purchase to the car for me. I may have to assemble it later and have a little go, it's got some brill attatchments!

Oh yes, it's Christmas soon, bring it on :) I saw a little robin today, first one I've seen this Autumn, it made me smile!

I may make a start on writing Christmas cards later, after tea. Tonight it's meatballs in a bolognese type sauce, with onions, garlic, peppers, mushrooms, Italian herbs, a splash of Cabernet Sauvignon, tomatoes etc...with pasta and grated cheese. As per usual I am starving hungry!

Have a great evening everyone! Hope your ankle is lots better Andi, and I hope that despite not sleeping well, you feel better today Dawn, and Kazz, I hope that you're fully recovered from your headover and hangache....

Laters all...

Evening all, nice to see so many of you on here today - and all struggling to find something to moan about! :) Jilly should have thought of a different name for today (I've been trying to think of one all day but my brain cell still hasn't managed to come up with anything suitable. :o )

Hi Andi, hope you had a good day :)

I'm sitting here shivering, i have on a thick jumper and cardigan, i'm wrapped up in a quilt with the heating on full, drinking a hot chocolate :o think i'll immigrate to the arctic :D :D

Hi Sue, pretty boring one really due to miserable weather - getting a bit stir crazy now so hope I can get out for a walk tomorrow.

It can't be that cold in Scotland surely :( :o Do you need to replace your boiler? If I turn my thermostat up to 21 degrees I have to start stripping off! :D :D :D

No we can moan whenever we want to, but Moaning Monday is just another excuse to do it. I can't think of another name for Moaning Monday either. I quite like Mondays :) Jillygirl will think of something.

How's your ankle Andi? As for you Sue, brrrrrr do you put your cold feet and hands on your husband when you're in bed to warm them up? :) bet he loves that :D

Hi Pete how has your day been? How is everyone doing with those pesky cravings today? Everyone ok?

Well I had a lovely tea. Chicken, mashed potato, sprouts and gravy and then some Strawberry cheesecake Haagan Dazs yummyyyy. Yes that's something else with fruit in that I like Andi :)

Hiya Kazz, lovely things aren't they, settees (sofas, couches etc :o ). You can lie on them and keep your feet up whilst fiddling on your laptop and even watch a bit of tv at the same time! :o Well, you can if you'r a woman cos we can multitask much much better than those blokes can, can't we? :D :D

andi22 profile image
andi22

My laptop's keeping me warm - mind you I heard something funny on the radio today. They were interviewing someone who works in a fertility clinic. A couple came in and a chance remark made by the woman, they realised the bloke was cooing his sperm cos he spent every evening with his laptop on his lap. Once he stopped doing this they conceived! :o :D :D

It's Tell Tale Tuesday :) I suggested that if we couldn't think of anything then we could make something up, not mentioning about who though :D I love my settee Andi, what do you call it? You can't beat lying on it and watching a bit of tv, or talking on the phone while eating a box of maltesers :) I'm not sure men can multitask can they? I haven't met one yet. :D :l
