    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Just read all of ya diary, love it!!!!!!!!!!



    On the no smoking bit. I am now fag free- 7 weeks yesterday- cold turkey- first 2 weeks are the hardest but feel great now and only think about having a fag maybe once a day now compared to when i did smoke i thought about them all the time, planning every minute of my day around when i would need/want a cig. feel less stressed now than when i did smoke. just to echo what some of the others have said thou, you have to really want to do it or you will fail but if you keep trying you will get there.
    Good luck with it! Keep your post's coming and well done on the e-baying!

    Richard is such a user, treats me the same - although he has been kind to me in recent times so I mustn't berate him too much :rotfl:

    Did you ever get to the post office? I have had to bring in a huge load with me to work to post, have been posting them via postage from paypal just to try and reduce the evil stares I get in the queue.

    Guest all packed up and left this morning, really nice guy and got invited to theirs for a visit so maybe travel around the uk stopping at friends and family this year for our holidays. Am I right in thinking if you go to their house they HAVE to give you bed and board for FREE, think i can have a weeks holiday maybe two and only pay for fuel ;)

    Think you are becoming a bit richard obsessed I hope you dont shout his name out in the night you could get into trouble:rotfl:

    Yes they do have to return the favour and that would be a great way to holiday. You could buy a job lot of gifts to bring to each one :)
