Own My Own-Congratulations!! :j Fantastic news. Was planning on posting when adopt a reindeer price drops, might be a long wait but Ill keep an eye on it.

Nanamia-Glad the meeting went well, hope your DSIL gets over the pneumonia asap. So horrible when someone is in hospital for a long time and suffer so much but Im sure you certainly lift her spirits so much. Your sweet trees are fabulous, the lolly one is my fave! x

Ameyturtle-Well done, you must be brilliant at your job to now be training others. :j

Welcome Trendyjenny! :j

Snugglebunny and JJ-Ive read a similar story where a cat jumped in a supermarket delivery van and was taken across town! My OH is a delivery driver and has had a cat jump onto his van too (thankfully noticed though!) so definitely a possibility! Also someone on my facebook has a cat and theres a lady in the neighbourhood who keeps 'keeping' him in her house. Not mistreating him and feeding him well etc but not letting him out and basically keeping him as her own until he escapes! Could he have got trapped in an outbuilding/shed on an allotment/garage/bin shed? Really hope he comes home soon JJ. xxx

a bit late, but my new years resolutions are:
stop smoking - only had 1 so far today so on my way!!
pay off overdraft
save £500 by end of year - this will be spent on a weekend away after xmas for me & dh, and on a MAJOR sales spree!
loose another stone (plus the 4lb ive put on in dec & whatever else goes on due to stopping smoking!)

quite a list, but all acheivable with a little hard work & determination - luckily theyre 2 of my strongest points lol!

We could be non-smoking MSE buddies - I'm on day 3 now, still not had one, although nearly cracked last night, and was really grumpy at work this morning, I haven't told any of them so they probably just think I'm a grumpy old cow! I'm beginning to feel the crave now, not using the patches, put one on the first day, but just chewing gum occasionally. I quite like the feeling of not spending money everyday on them, hopefully that (and you lovely peeps) will keep me on the straight and narrow.

Thanks to everyone for the support, I really intend to stay off them this time. X

Well done you. I stopped last January 15th, totally unplanned, hubby rushed to hospital with chest pains and told he needed to stop, so I stopped at the same time. Very scary time, but it was somehow easier to stop because of the health issues, I did it cold turkey, just felt the quicker the better, and like you I didn't tell anyone at work until about week 4. I'm sure you'll be fine after the the first week or so, I have to say it actually wasn't the not smoking that got to me, more the side effects I felt.

But keep it up, it will be so worth it for you.
