Well done to your dad Jackie you must be so proud!

CG, great to have you 'over here', how you doing? Well done for the last year, that's great! What are you going to treat yourself with?

Adz, get to the docs with your green arm, sounds like you need anti-b's.

TNG, woooohoooooo, I've got everything crossed for Mrs TNG indeed keep us posted :rotfl:

Right, done the housework very proud of myself. I'm going to do my mystery shop now, then Tesco and then to the pet shop to buy a new fish for my DS as one of them died last week the big one is really BIG and I don't need him growing anymore as I'll have to buy a new net, so gonna go and replace the last one so that he doesn't grow to big!

The doctors?
Its Saturday

If you need a doctor here its Mon-Fri and if you think you'll be ill, you have to make an appointment 3 weeks before.

Hi, everyone. I've been very busy at work recently so haven't dropped by for a while. Hope you're all doing ok.

Stay strong over the weekend, elle; it's probably the toughest time but if you manage to get through it, your resolve will strengthen and you'll be chuffed! Take a supply of chewing gum with you, it may help.

Have a good smoke-free weekend everyone.

Three months, four days, 16 hours, 0 minutes and 5 seconds. 1450 cigarettes not smoked, saving £321.17. Life saved: 5 days, 50 minutes.

Just dont go outside with the smokers
You'll be warmer and healthier.

I tell you what really annoys me about tesco is the static on the trolleys. I hate it enough to stop me shopping there.
Anyone else have this problem?

Nice to see some people start posting again today (too lazy to name )
Keep in touch with us here.

(I'm speeding away with posts, and 2nd higest - only Jo to beat :rotfl:)

And a quick word to the lurkers (yes I know you are there!)
Just think about how much smoking costs you, and how else you can spend the money.
Picture yourself in 10 years, do you want to be a wrinkly smoker who stinks of fags, has very little money and gets complaints about their smoking, and in a poor shape of health.
Or do you want to be a nice skinned, non-smoker who doesn't stink of fags, has money to treat people, has no complaints about their habits and be in better health.

If that doesn't convince you, picture yourself in 40 years, do you want to lying in a hospital bed dying of lung cancer, seeing the disease rip you apart, and seeing your family traumatised your dying.
Or do you want to be enjoying a healthy retirement?

I'll leave the choice up to you.
Just remember the risks, and make your choice.

And if you do decide to quit, or want advice, a chat, a laugh, without judgement come here, talk to us (we're friendly, good listeners and supportive)

Remember we are all in the same boat.

(Wow this is my longest post by far :j)

I LOVE babies too, but pregnancy is hard work and ive been pretty damn sick all the way through, not sure i can do this again to be honest (already have a daughter of 7)
ive told OH if he gets broody again, i shall be buying him a puppy :rotfl:

IDA, I've worked hard with the housework today, but it doesn't look any different cos the youngest one was pulling things out behind me as I was putting them away :rotfl:
