I hope you've all recovered well from last nights antics, cake eating, sherry drinling, ducking and diving! You are a crazy bunch of folk but very entertaining to say the least
Pete, I hope you had a lovely Happy Birthday, you kept that quiet from us didn't you
Today is an absolutely fantastic day to stay smokefree. If you are struggling, just look at it as though you are only not having that one cigarette, the next one.
Together we can do this...

Well I am fine this morning, not sure about the others knocking back the sherry They are both very quiet today so my guess is that they are suffering, no sympathy it's self inflicted
I hope everyone is having a good day. I've just been trying to phone round some plumbers to get my boiler sorted out, British Gas are highway robbers.
Just off to get my mushroom cuppa soup for lunch so speak to you later.
Andy and Sue, I hope you are both not feeling to poorly Water and some painkillers and then a glass of pure fruit juice should help
I was up early today but hubby pinched the computer he said he had stuff to do before going to work, a likely story No hangover for me Kazz I hope you manage to get your boiler fixed soon, it's funny how these things always breakdown in the winter just when you need them
Hope you have a good day Emjay we are all crazy, but what fun we have, my jaw is still sore from laughing
I'm glad your having a good Sarah and no kids for a while, I loved it when my two went away to their grans, i had a lovely relaxing time, no having to constantly entertain them It's a nice day here as well, so i'm off to put my washing out, see you all later
Good afternoon everyone and no hangover here either - I think the only one with one of those will be Pete (but I'll bet he wouldn't admit to it! )
Nice and bright down here at the mo - busy morning - pt at 7.45, dentist at 11 and lawn guy at 12.30. Will have to make the mos of the weather and get out for a brisk walk this aft.
Sarah, glad you're washing's blowing well. I don't hang mine out in the winter any more. I had one time too many of getting frozen washing in with frozen hands one November and vowed that I wasn't going to do that any more. (Never had a tumble dryer though, just hang it on washing stands around the house and hope I don't get visitors. )
Jan, well done for finally taking the plunge. I hope you enjoyed your weekend away and can keep the weight from creeping on.
A happy belated birthday to Pete! x- birthday peck...ha!
Kazz- re British Gas, they do a one off repair for a fixed price, my friend got that, it cost her £99. I have one of the Homecare covers with them for my boiler, electric, plumbing...it's for my peace of mind really. There's no 'man about the house', so to speak, and I'm not good at electrics and plumbing...they are 'blue' jobs! (Blue for blokes Pink for girlies).
Good luck getting your boiler fixed Kazz- hope you get it sorted soon, you'll be frozen in this weather!
It's lovely here today too, but it's cold. I only hang washing out in the warmer weather, don't bother in the winter, it ends up being just as wet as when I hung it out lol I so love my tumble dryer
Am off work today, have been out with a friend this morning and have just put a casserole in the oven for tea. I am now going to vac my car out.
Not a good day here, very grey and raining at the moment and quite cold as well.
Thanks Sue, I have got someone coming out to have a look at the boiler on Saturday morning, hopefully he will be able to fix it there and then or it will be cold showers and duvets this weekend Would you and our Andi admit it if you did have a hangover I wonder hmmm
You've had a busy morning Andi, pt at 7:45 good grief, I would be too stiff and half asleep for anything like that. Good for you.
Good for you JC, you keep beating those cravings, I'm sure they will disappear one day for ever, the sooner the better as far as I'm concerned. Nothing new there then with the cake cravings, it's a true sign of a cakeaholic but you deal with one thing at a time
Hi thenunn, well done to you for stopping smoking and being quit for 10 hours, keep strong, you can do this and as Sue said, we will support you every step of the way.
Hi Sarah, it's good that you are getting on with your hubby while he is off, you can do without the extra aggravation when you are trying to give up smoking. Also good that you have some nice drying weather, a bit of sun always makes you feel brighter.
British Gas offered me a fixed price but then wanted to tie me into an annual agreement at £21.00 per month which I didn't want.
I can't access your links John as work blocks them but I will have a look later. You seem to be very creative and it's good that you have something to focus on an get involved with. It will keep your mind of smoking for one thing
Back from walk along the prom and cliff top. Decided to pop in to Tesco on the way home and get the car washed. Needed some basil for a dish I'll make in a couple of days but they didn't have any.
John, so glad that you've got on top of those finances now and those pictures are pretty amazing. Just take care when going in the birds' room.
Kazz, hope the weather warms up a bit for you and they can fix it right away - don't forget your gas fire! Btw, I think the last time I had a hangover was after my Mum's funeral.
I used to have a tumble dryer but don't have one now, I do miss it though, I don't really like having washing all over the radiators upstairs but needs must when the devil's sick in your rucksack, as my old friend used to say (haven't got a clue what it means)
I'm off home in a few minutes then out tonight to visit my mum. Have a good evening everyone and I hope to speak to you tomorrow.
Good for you that you've got something to aim for. I'm just trying to get myself motivated to do housework. I need to do this as I've got to get more mobile day to day then hopefully tackle the garden more when the weather warms up.
Just got rid of my brother, again, he's becoming a nasty habit, wonder if he'll be easier to get rid of than the cigs were......Mmmmmm don't think so somehow
Trying to get motivated Andi, good luck with that :D, housework never gets me motivated :D, it will be nice when you can get in your garden though, i used to love doing my dads garden for him
Hi Sue, wondered where you'd got to - thought you might have had visitors. Shame it was that particular one though. How's your hangover now then?
Well am well chuffed with my little self. Today was a much better day at work than last Thursday. It's amazing how quiet it goes in February, I've actually been a little bit bored today. Have not had a ciggie for about 3 weeks and haven't had a nicotine lozenge since last Sunday. So I was sat staring into space today at work waiting for the phone to ring when I suddenly thought this is the first time in 33 years or since I was just 18 that I have had no nicotine in my body. The other two times I gave up I used patches and the second time lozenges and chewing gum so even though I was off the cigarettes for 3 months I still had nicotine in my system. Feel absolute rubbish with the Champix, still getting stomach pains mornings and evenings. Best of all even though I was bored at work I've sat there in the knowledge that I had two Chocolate digestive biscuits in my bag and I have managed not to eat them all day. I've had two sandwiches with ham on, cherry tomatoes, blueberries, yoghurt, tin pineapple then my tea, a gorgeous beef casserole with sprouts and boiled potatoes made by my gorgeous hubby. Washed down with a glass of red wine, followed by two pieces of galaxy chocolate. Then a big glass of fresh orange juice. Haha then I wonder why I have a belly ache.
haha, I think it is wind Sarah. After about a week of taking Champix I've felt like I do at Christmas when we eat lots of rich food that we're not use to and all those sprouts and pickles, Christmas cake etc. I feel really rubbish tonight.
Yes, hubby cooks some yummy meals. Though we've decided the curry we had last night will be the first and last. The kitchen still stinks. A spicy chilli madras. It was very nice but wondering if that's whats wrong with my stomach tonight.
No hangovers for us Andi, we're two strong ladies, we can take our liqueur bet the other two couldn't
That's brill Jan you should be well pleased with yourself Looking at what you've eaten i should eat more, i've had 2 slices of toast this morning, then a bowl of soup at tea time
Jan? Toast and soup, that's not enough for a growing girl, I would be one very stressed out soul if that's all I had to eat all day. Gosh I ate far more than that on weightwatchers.
Sorry, wrong name, my one brain cell is not working tonight, as usual
I don't have much of an appetite just now, keep trying to eat little and often but it's not working, I'm just not hungry, it might be one of the tablets i'm on, not sure though
Well I have eventually got home after running around after the kids.
We ended up going out for our rea tonight (my mother invited us) to a hotel. It was as usual lovely,Ruth was happy coz it was her favourite place to eat if we go out
Now when we go out for a meal I only have a main course and my pudding would be a fag but tonight I had a 3 course meal which I have not had for YEARS and ate the lot, now its really no wonder my gut is getting so big! Even my dad commented on the amount I ate!
The only downside of the night was my mothers comment about me having a puff of my efag. She would bloody moan if I went out for my fag and about how much I stank when I came back in....... cant have it both ways (and I didnt even miss my fsg tonight either)
I did find it hard to begin with but I think going and doing something else occupied my mind and helps no crave for one.
I did have the ecig though but as I said Im getting lower strenght of that (waiting on it coming home) so that a ster in right direction. I think the efag better, at least it cheaper and lasting me longer than a packet of fags.
I found the same Sarah, i still play all the daft fb games that i did in the beginning to help me when cravings hit, it's great that your getting the lower strength, your doing really well
A neighbour of mine said the same thing, that they were cheaper and lasted her longer, and getting you smoke free is the main thing
Yep, I wrestled out of his hands :D. think i might need to get my own one for when he retires, just had a thought, me sitting on one chair, him on the other, both on laptops all day don't think i will now, don't want to spend my life doing that
That sounds like me and my husband. We're both sat there every night, seperate sofa's, laptop each, hardly say a word to each other all night, the dog was so bored the other night that he was the only one watching TV, sat on the sofa staring at the TV, he was funny.
We've done that before now. Before my son left home I used to have long conversations with him on facebook messaging with him sat up stairs in his room and me downstairs.
Well I'm going in a minute. Need to go get ready for bed as gotta go wait for the phone to ring at work again tomorrow, then got my little grandson tomorrow night, aww, he's not stayed since before Christmas. Might just manage a little piece of cake with my cuppa before I go to bed being as I never ate those chocolate digestives. Night every one - keep up all the hard work with the no smoking.
