Good morning everyone
Welcome to our new people, I hope you find the site helpful in your quit journey. If you have any questions or concerns pop them on here and someone will be about to help 
How is everyone today? How are you feeling heading in to Christmas and the New Year smokefree?
Emjay is off today but I am sure she’ll be on to see how everyone’s doing at some point today.
Speak soon 
Hi Claire
I'm ok today and not feeling at all bothered that Christmas and New Year are coming up as far as not smoking is concerned, well no more than usual anyway 
It's very quiet on here this morning, I can't believe that I missed saying goodbye to Andi before she left for Norway to see her sister 
I would have liked to have said Merry Christmas to her. She will be back for New Year though so at least I can say Happy New Year to her. I will hopefully be getting my new computer on Wednesday so I wont miss out on things then.
I hope everyone is well and having a good day and not being troubled by cravings. If you are then come and have a good old moan to us
Sue, how are you feeling today? I hope you are feeling better and managed to get a good night's sleep.

Oh I meant to say, I've just had a telephone call from Stop Smoking, who organised the Stoptober thing, asking me how I was going on and did I manage to stop smoking. I thought that was nice of them to phone up.
Yoo Hoo Kazz!
Just home from work here, called at the Post Office, I can't believe it's just cost me £8 to post 4 pressies. I think it'll be vouchers next year! I'm not a Scrooge, but that's daft! Thank goodness I only had one parcel to post!
Am having a well deserved coffee break afore I go and clean the bathroom, am washing the tiles down etc...got visitors tonight...
That was lovely of the Stoptober people to ring you!
I may have time to pop on later, depends how quick I can do the bathroom etc...
Have a great day everyone!

Hi Jarvo and Kazz, i just got back from shopping, again, it seems never ending 
I got not too bad a sleep, thanks Kazz, it is difficult in the winter when you have arthritis,
I'm sure Andi knows you would have wished her a happy Christmas if you could have, i'm glad your getting a new computer on Wednesday
I'm fine with not smoking over Christmas Jarvo, most people i know don't smoke, which helps will chat later i'm away to have a cuppa x
Hi Chickles,
Sounds like you are a busy lady these days, no rest for the wicked eh? That is ridiculous £8 to send one parcel !! and the price of cards at some places is ridiculous as well. I love Christmas but I think some companies really do take advantage. Saying that, there have been quite a lot of sales on lately which is good.
Enjoy cleaning your bathroom If you don't get back later then have a lovely evening with your guests, speak soon xxx
Hi Sue, arthritis is horrible, I know a few people with it and I can only imagine what it is like to put up with constant pain day in and day out. It's horrible when you can't sleep properly as well. I hope you get some form of treatment from your Doctor. I think a lot of people think arthritis comes with old age but it can affect anyone at any age, youngsters such as yourself. I even knew a girl who suffered very badly with it when I was at school. You always sound so cheerful as well Sue and support everyone on here, so thank you, you're a star
xx
Hi Kazz, a big thank you for calling me a youngster, that made my day
The pain can get bad and sometimes i want to scream, but mostly i laugh and joke about it cause life is to short to moan, that's the way i look at it anyway
I hope you have a great evening Kazz
Hi Chickles, sorry i missed your post earlier, you are a busy bee,
i hope you have a good night tonight :), a good old knees up
Hi everybody

Hiya Pete, i'm doing fine, hope you are too hope that boss of yours is still being nice or i'll send my spears his way ------------->
there's a picture i'd love to put on but i'll have to wait till tomorrow, when i get the computer back from my hubby, he always hogs it
Aup Sue
So hubbies got the comp again then i hope you've mentioned to him that you could do with one yourself, maybe then he just might get you one for Christmas
I did say that to him, don't know if it will work though, monies a bit tight at the moment
But i can always steal it back when he's not looking, all i have to do is hide his glasses
Ha ha ha hide his glasses nice one gal
I dont have to hide my specks, cos cat does it for me i get home from work at night and my computer table is almost empty yeah cos everythings on the floor, and under the chairs
what is it with cats and knocking things over, mine did that, he would knock stuff off the table and watch it hitting the floor my glasses are safe, there on 24/7, i'm as blind as a bat without them
I only put the Christmas tree up yesterday, she's had a go at that 2 borballs on the floor & tinsel drooping now she is in the window playing with the lights cos just put then on when i got home
There little devils, but we love them anyway I spent all last year picking my tree up cause he kept knocking it over well that's my daughters problem now, he he
she goes for her 20 week scan on Thursday, she's hoping to find out if she's having a boy or a girl i'll let you know what if she finds out honorary Grandad
Ooooo thaks so much Sue
Do you not remember you are Grandad and Jillygirl is Gran that was spoken about a while ago now right enough, if you did remember them i'm sorry, i'll be having a senior moment
I am ever so sorry Sue i forgot about it, so its me who had the senior moment gal and not you
Hi Claire, its nice to see you gal
I'm very impressed with you for opening the Daily chat gal, just one thing though, we usually put a daily picture on it, and not a picture of ourselves 
but i tell you Claire, a picture of a pretty Lady always cheers me up ( creep creep )
I'm on week 8 now, so next week i will have to drop down to the step 2 patches hmmmm i will see how it go's but i think the Christmas period will be the same for me, so am not worrying about that too much
It's lovely to see you again Claire
Hi Pete
This make me chuckle
I forgot about the daily pic (Bad Claire!)
Well done Pete, thats brilliant. Just remember; you've done the hardest thing by stopping and putting a patch on, look at dropping down as a positive. You're further away from the nasty ciggies...
Speak soon
It sounds as if Kaz is getting her new computer on Wednesday then hmmmm i will have to start to be nice to her then eh
We both will i think, or we're hiding again don't want the oven set on fire again
True, well we have 1day to think about it, just hope i can find my thinking cap
Thank you so much Sue for staying up and having a chat with me, its lovely gal
