Good Morning everyone. :-)

Really nice weather down here today and long may it last. :8

By the end of today that will be 3 weeks or 21 days or 504 hours smoke free!! Woo Hoo :D

The photo is to remind us to take "pride" in the fact that we are non smokers (Ugh, sorry but had to be done). I love animals but will try to find a different topic for next time

Have a great day. Gonna put kettle on so there is a cuppa waiting for you when you get up

Sue xx

Morning Sue,

I like the Pride of Lions... Can be our theme for the day. And well done on three weeks!

Sunny but very chilly here - still, no rain today... Hooray.

Been up since 5.45, getting ready for builders to come in and put a Staircase in for me, getting to old to climb a ladder to my loft these days. Ug, I'm not really a morning person, so this feels very weird to me... Ha!

I'll join you in that cuppa, no sugar for me tho', got too many bad habits already.

Have a good start to the week,

Gill, xx

Hi all

Lovely photo Sue, lovely day outside here too. It's still chilly and we've got no heating (broken ), so hope it warms up. Hope the sun has broken through jillygirl.

Think I'll join you for that cuppa, might make mine a strong coffee :)

Been down to fuss my daughter's little lions, after giving mine (on my photo) a fuss at home

Have a good smoke-free day all!

I'm really struggling at the moment, but have managed not to succumb.

Keeping strong together :)

Thanks Sue, it's much appreciated.

I'm a big softie, so imagining a mental hug too, hope you don't mind!!

Hope you get your stairs sorted, Gill, and maybe a nap later, if you need it after that early start :)

Now for that coffee :) at last. The stronger the better!

I will join everyone for a cuppa if that's ok. Had to go on a dairy free iet so struggling with black tea at the moment. It is very chilly in Derbyshire but hopefully will warm up later.

Gillyflower and jillygirl - hope the building work goes well and they don't leave you too much mess, that's the worse thing about having workmen in.

Betts - don't give in, you can do it positive vibes and lots of hugs coming your way through ciberspace.

Got to go into work for a few hours now, the boss is pesterning me to go back but I have told her that I am retiring as soon as BC treatmemtn completed, she doesn't listen!!

Take care everyone and keep smiling. suec xx

Gym done and the window cleaners have just arrived.

Well done to you both Suebun and Betts (okay, 1 day between you but hey, who's counting? :o ) on 3 weeks today, you're both doing really well - it'll be a month before you know it! :)

I saw the Countryfile weather last night and it looks like you people in Derbyshire and Yorkshire might just be on the cusp of the weather front, so long as it's dry, who cares? :o :)

BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF.

Hands up those who fancy a cigarette.

Now hands up those who would like 400 micrograms of cyanide.

Difference NONE.

1 cigarette contains 400micrograms of cyanide.

Makes you think doesnt it.

very true John, but it doesn't harm to have a reminder now and then. :)

Good Afternoon Everybody,

It looks like we've had a few gremlins about over the weekend, especially yesterday. I'm hoping that they're having a day off today :-/

bunnyrabbit Sue, I love the lions - We can also use their voice to RRRRooooaaaaarr!! - away those cravings :-) By the end of today you'll be into your 4th week of quitting :D

Gill, I hope your ladder-changing -to-stairs work is going well. I bet it feels like you've put a full days work in by now :-/

Jillygirl, With regards to the content of cigarettes, I agree in that it's good to have a reminder. You would be surprised how many people don't understand about the dangerous chemicals and poisonous toxins that are in cigarettes. I mean formaldehyde... cyanide... who would want to smoke that?! :-/

Betts, it's sometimes worth even acknowledging that the cravings are there, before showing them the door. Think about how exactly they are making you feel. Is it in your mind - making you think erratically, scatty thoughts, blank mindedness? Are they affecting you physically - Mouth watering, tummy churning, hunger feelings? Once you know exactly how they are affecting you, then you can put a plan in place to deal with them. Remember to stay positive and that this feeling will pass. It may return, but for every time you see it through you will become stronger until eventually you will look back and remember how it 'felt' for you at the time :-)

John, have a lovely walk out whilst the weather seems reasonably mild. We've had threats of rain but it seems to have stayed away :-)

Andi, sounds like you are starting to get back to normal exercise wise. You'll be in that bikini before you know it :D

Simba, it might sound a bit strange but you could always try a quarter of a teaspoon of honey in your black tea. It's quite nice :-)

Right, shall make a quick cuppa before my next meeting... :-)

Betts in reply toEmJay

Hi Emjay

Thanks, as always. It does make me think.

Physically I eventually get a headache (like now!), but it starts with a sort of forlorn blank-mindedness, that's true. And at the same time feeling really scared - my husband saw me making my cuppa earlier and said 'are you all right, you look scared!'. I didn't know I was showing how I felt. And I feel incapable of doing anything, especially making a decision, like what to do! I feel like a. Real waste-of-space plonker, so I have to start doing something. It's the only cure, keeping busy :)

Anyways, I have got down to some writing work, and it isn't yet up to scratch, but it probably wouldn't be any better at this stage if I had had a fag if I am honest ;)

And I am very very glad that I haven't had a cigarette, so no poisons, jillygirl :) Taking it an hour at a time :)

Thanks to all of you folks out there, the shared cuppas and hugs, Simba, and congratulations from bunnyrabbit and Andi, and stories and blogs and foods for thought, so much lovely support :) :) :)

John, I told you once we always had budgies, my dad worked in the outback in Australia and brought a couple he saved from being drowned in puddles when it rained home to us in Adelaide. One, called Billy, couldn't fly, so you would ear his little feet tapping across the lino when he came trotting over. Dad would have him on his shoulder on the rare occassions he was hhome and came topick me up from school in the car. I loved Billy! A real character!

That building work will be lovely when it's finished, think of that G/Jills :)

Thanks to all - time for late lunch and another cuppa, anyone else fancy one?

Keep it up bunnyrabbit, you are my heroine!

Have a good meeting Emjay!
