    Oh what a nightmare, does she just look after your eldest? How old is he?

    My 2 in the CMs are only 4 and 2 but could test the patience of a saint, especially the 2yo (DD2), she's satan in a fairy outfit....said in the nicest possible way of course :D

    No - both of them (12 and 7). Seven year old is a delight to look after.....

    Hi IDA,

    Awwww, you've been just as much of an inspiration hunny :)

    Hope you're ok?

    Looking forward to job yeah thanks, although my current job went into the paper today and we've had quite a big response already. Wondering if the interviews will be held in the evening or during work hours so that I can put them all off :rotfl:

    :hello: Hi everyone!!!! Hope you are all well!!! Went to a wedding at the weekend and still did not smoke!!! Feeling fine!! Cannot believe that I have come this far!!:j :dance: :shocked: 3 weeks and 3 days clean from the dreaded weed!!:D All my adult life I have smoked and it is like a new adventure for me now that I don't!! It now is very unfashionable to smoke!!Some days I just get so overwhelmed by it all I want to laugh and cry!!!Don't get me wrong, I have my moments,but I would be so depressed with myself if I caved in and all for nothing, because smoking does absolutly nothing!!! Sorry to ramble but we all have nothing to lose and everything to gain, by not smoking!!:j
    Sunday 23rd September 2007 I came to my senses and discovered fresh air!!:j
    :hello: ELLO! :hello:

    Fantastically well done, elle :T :T :T


    Be really proud of your achievement. I am :D

    And ramble away, you're in the right place. Maybe putting your thoughts and experiences down in a post might give someone else the encouragement to stop too. :)
