  • Tell Jakes-Dad It took my DH 5 years YES 5 Years!!! but he did it in the end and has now been cigarette free for 8 years :T:T:T So tell him he really can do it cos I said he could

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    What really worried me was when he stopped I used to stand near people who smoked cos I missed the smell so I must have been addicted even though I had never smoked how scary is that.

    That is scary LC2 :( I remember how my dad always smelled smokey. He had smoked since the age of 14 and it finally killed him with lung cancer at 73 having spent years struggling to breathe due to developing emphasyma (probably spelt that wrong :o) My OH only gave up when he wanted a new car & I pointed out that the £7 a week he spent on ciggies would pay the finance needed to buy one. That was 30 years ago and he hasn't smoked since. Just give OH the lecture jakes-mum it's for his own good!
    BTW I hope Jake is getting better, as well as all the other poorly people out there. What is happening to everyone??

    Hi rosyq you must think I'm ignoring you but I'm not... honestly! I just don't seem to have any free time lately. Life should calm down in March :D

    Just going food shopping so should have some change later.

    Welcome to any Newbies! Happy potting!

    Jakes-mum if your lecture works please will you write it down here so I can try it on OH? I think he's a hopeless case but anythings worth trying!
