    You said you have a time of the month just like women so I said perhaps you have them in sympathy.

Will try to keep you all up to date on my progress with this "Wonder Drug" :rotfl: just have to get my head around picking a date to quit next week and sticking to it;) Working in a hospital I should know better;)

    Thanks again for all the welcomes, feels like home already;)

    steveymp, I have friends in health service and they are the worst! Where I lived before I had a lot of friends who were nurses and doctors and they used to smoke all the time! I see my GP regularly for a condition - she knows I smoke and hasn't said anything about it (probably thought I had enough to deal with) and the other day I told her that I was trying to give up ... she didn't make any comment, not even encouraged me which I thought was odd!

    There's more nurses outside the hospital smoking than patients.

    It's bizarre.

    Them seeing people die of cancer would encourage them not to smoke you'd have thought.

    Look Here

    She should set an example!
